Back then, Tao Yuanming's sentence,"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan Mountain", made many people fascinated by the mountains and rivers, and their affection for the mountains, rivers, mountains and countryside have for a time become the retreat that modern young men and women desire endlessly.

If there was a place like "Returning to the Garden and Tianju" where there was little smoke from the kitchen in the middle of the mountain, sleeping on a bamboo raft and full of stars, how great would it be? Yangshuo, just as beautiful

Guilin's mountains and rivers always have some poetry, and the mountains and mountains are like silhouettes of ink paintings; its rare mountainous and hilly areas in China and karst landforms have cast a layer of mystery on it.

The reflection of the green mountains of the Li River and the sunset of birds constitute the most beautiful ink painting scroll.

The noise of Yangshuo West Street, the historical atmosphere of Qingshiban Road, and the aroma of food from the stalls fill the air, wrapping you in...

If you want to love the mountains and rivers, it is better to spend two or three days sleeping in the most poetic Banyan Tree, rocking boats on the Li River, riding in the mountains and forests, and returning to the countryside.

🛌 Live at Banyan Tree in Yangshuo and sleep in landscape paintings

There is a place with winding rivers, large rice fields, blue tiles and white walls, and dense mountains, which are as beautiful as the landscape paintings written by Mi Youren.

If the beauty lies in the paintings being limited to walking, then Yangshuo Banyan Tree can let you sleep in the "paintings". Built on the Li River, it lives in a corner of the mountain and nestled in the magnificent nature. The design of villas and suites draws on the inspiration of local architectural structures and is exquisite and refined.

Small green tiles, sloping houses, white powder walls, wooden lattice windows, hanging balconies, bluestone dongs; classic elements of residential buildings in northern Guangxi, with elegant and simple colors. This is the first feeling when entering Banyan Tree.

The section where Banyan Tree is located belongs to one of the most beautiful sections of the Li River and one of the locations where Liu Sanjie took pictures. It frames mountains and rivers into the building, creating a modern and luxurious version of a residential village in northern Guangxi.

The housekeeper dressed in the costumes of northern Guangxi is waiting for you at the door and offers welcome courtesy and the most sincere blessings from the northern Guangxi people. Of course, there are still small surprises waiting for you to open in the room!

The room is made of natural materials such as black wood, bamboo, and marble, equipped with Chinese paintings, carved wall lamps, and lattice windows; traditional Chinese aesthetics are permeated throughout the space, and the wooden lattice windows are pushed open. In the misty morning light, green eyes are full of eyes.

"Straight to the water" is the main theme of this hotel. You can enjoy the magnificent panoramic view of the Karst Mountains and feel the singing Li River from your suite or villa without leaving home.

Under the panoramic glass window, a marble bathtub is located next to the window, introducing blue tile walls and external bamboo forests. In addition, the bathroom walls are painted with the most iconic green of Banyan Tree, which is soft and non-dazzling, and has a soothing effect; light aromatherapy and you can bathe in this world without worrying about privacy issues.

If you have nothing to do and stroll around the courtyard, you will be lucky to meet the peacock unique to Banyan Tree in Yangshuo, with a natural indigo feather crown. It is patrolling your "territory" with arrogant and elegant steps; if you meet a peacock opening its screen, make sure you record it (don't turn on the flash). After all, a peacock opening its screen is a rare sight.

Take a beautiful golf shot! In the Banyan Tree green field, beside the beautiful Li River, enjoy the comfort of being surrounded by nature, and let the wind give you the magical power to score a hole in one!

Golf greens are open: 7:00-19:00 (summer) 9:00-18:00 (winter)

🚵 Country trails, cycling and roaming

Yangshuo integrates mountains and rivers into the countryside and into life; here is a paradise for cyclists. Children run wantonly in the countryside, meet three or two friends, ride together, listen to the singing of birds and cicadas in the mountains, and feel like poetry. Summer afternoon.

Cycling through the path, lined with lush green rice fields on both sides, and birds flying low around you; at this moment, do you particularly want to sing "I have crossed mountains and seas, and also passed through people of people" or open your arms. Let the wind in the mountains fill your sleeves and take away the aroma of the exclusive fields.

Traveling through fields and small villages, you will reach the Karst Tower, a hidden place formed by Guilin's unique karst landform; as for how mysterious and hidden it is, you will know when you see it with your own eyes!

🚶 The most lively thing in the mountains is to visit the West Street

Yangshuo West Street, which has a history of more than 1400 years, still maintains Ming and Qing buildings in northern Guangxi along the street. Due to the large number of foreigners, you will see many English signs along the way. Walking into a house at random, you may also find small objects left over from history.

Since all vehicles are now prohibited from entering West Street, the hotel's shuttle bus will still take you to the entrance of West Street very attentively.

West Street is more prosperous at night than during the day. Various cultural performances, hawking by small vendors, and the laughter of tourists merge into a rock music belonging to West Street. People were crowded, filled with the aroma of barbecue, and the string of lanterns above their heads lit up like a button to turn on the night.

🛶 Boating on the Li River to watch fishermen fish

Wearing a coir coat, a bamboo raft with a flat leaf, a man, a lamp and an osprey, together with the Li River, form the picture of "a lonely boat with a coir and a coir fishing alone in the cold and snowy rivers" in Liu Zongyuan's "River Snow".

The cool breeze in the afternoon makes you a little tipsy. Instead of sleeping soundly in your room, it is better to go boating on the Li River; take a boat at the private dock of Banyan Tree, and the small bamboo rafts wander through your own special channel, leaving the most beautiful scenery to the most noble You, for you to savor this Ten Mile Gallery.

The osprey performance on the river is the highlight of bamboo raft rafting; an elderly fisherman brings two osprey and puts on a bamboo hat to cast a net in the center of the river to fish. The osprey pours to the water and picks up the leaping fish and hands it to the old man and welcomes his own few snacks. The old man sits on the raft and takes a sip of wine. If he suddenly hums a red star shines, will it be more fascinating?

🥂 Taste the delicious taste on the tip of your tongue, Turn on the night button

After the meeting, enjoy a carefully prepared Riverside BBQ dinner. The cool wind blows from the riverside on summer nights, blowing away the white smoke from the barbecue and blowing the aroma of the food to every corner. The fat seafood, the sizzling barbecue... Fill this satisfying night.

After a happy and tiring day, try the award-winning Banyan Tree Spa. As Asia's first luxury oriental spring bath, Banyan Tree Spa uses pure natural spices, combined with secret recipes and ancient therapies passed down from generation to generation, and pure techniques Let your body relax completely from the inside out.

The infinity swimming pool of Banyan Tree is hidden among the sparse bamboo forests and faces the lakes and mountains. In the sultry afternoon, it transforms into fish and feels the coolness of the mountains and rivers.

After dinner, slowly walk to the hexagonal pavilion in the pool. The lights shine at the foot of the road. While walking in the courtyard, it feels like patrolling the back garden; just sit quietly and experience the most charming and peaceful life in Yangshuo.
