We originally planned on staying here for three days as a quiet retreat away from busting Yangshuo but ended up extending our stay for 8 days longer. The hostel offers amazing views of the karst mountains and the meandering Li River from the terrace. The staff were super helpful and they served up the best pizza we had in China..... More

We strongly recommend it to everyone. Thanks for all Maya and all concerne. The paintings are already at home giving to us a little piece of Xingping everyday.

All good things your read about this place are true. It's cosy and relaxed. We really loved it. The room was very basic but nice and clean. The bathroom was clean too, although it smelled a bit of sewage (I don't think the staff can help that, considering the sewage system in China). I recomended 100 percent!!! It's so much... More
