“We loved so many things about this place…when we first got to what we describe as a Boutique Backpacker Hostel, we were welcomed by 10 friendly and cuddly cats, along with the hostel owners. One of them was Qing Shan, who was our main point of contact throughout our entire stay, and arranged a taxi to pick us up from Guilin station and take us the whole 1.5 hour journey to Westland. (Just a side note, there are two routes to Yangshuo…the toll highway has a much prettier landscape than the route through the city…that one will take you through a lot of construction and old buildings…our return taxi took us on the toll highway and it was much more beautiful.)
Qing Shan also helped us to rent an electric scooter, and he gave us recommendations on where to go…we wish we had listened to him about rafting down Yulong river instead of the Li river, but we wanted to see why Li river was famous…Well let’s say we will never be doing bamboo rafting down the Li river again…with it’s noisy motors, and hecklers forcing hats and birds on bamboo poles onto us for photographs. Instead, go bamboo rafting down the Yulong river where the boatmen will paddle you by hand rather than motor. We took the electric bike around the Yulong river area too, and that was a wonderful experience…we were too lazy to cycle, but if we had cycled, we would have been able to put our bicycles on the raft…anyway, that’s the plan for next time.
We can’t stop telling you how helpful Qing Shan was! And for the price we paid, we got a lot more than we expected!
Thank you very much! We’ll be back in the future!”
