I just stayed at this hotel and found it a fantastic find that is 25 minutes from town by bike and offered me peace and quiet all at a great rate. I personally did not like Yangshuo but the surrounding countryside is fantastic. This is not a hotel for those looking for convenience to town but instead a peaceful getaway.

This is the best kept secret Hotel in China. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, great food. And for sure the best views

We had lunch at Jiuxian at Yangshuo Secret Garden's small dining room and the food was amazing. We were surprised since their menu has a wide variety of western food as well as Chinese, alldelicious. The owner of the hotel and restaurant is buying several buildings in the village and working to perserve them which is wonderful since the village... More

We stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. The food was great and even though you can visit all the tourists sites we found just wandering around the village and walking by the river showed us the real china. It is a very relaxing place to stay and is exactly as the photos show. We were so glad... More

We stayed here for only two nights and wished we could have stayed much longer. After traveling for the past 2 months Secret Garden gave us a well earned rest and a break from the bustling Chinese tourist industry. Faye and Ian provide exceptional service, the food was great, the scenery spectacular, the rooms large and comfortable; the village quaint,... More

We did the "compulsory" Li River boat trip... More

A beautifully restored little hotel away from the hustle and bustle of Yangshuo but hidden in a picturesque farming village surround by spectacular scenery. My daughter I shared the spacious ground floor studio room for 4 nights. The beds were the comfiest we have slept on in China. Faye, Ian and their staff did everything possible to make our stay...

Don't be fooled by the exterior as you drive to this interesting boutique hotel. Once inside the courtyard, you will be impressed by the design and atmosphere of this place. My wife and I really enjoyed this hotel located outside the busy city of Yangshuo. Sam and Faye took good care of us, and we visited with the architect/artist/proprietor Ian... More

This was a true find and is a must do when you are in the Yangshuo area - a beautiful boutique hotel right in the middle of a small village - old Qi Dynasty building - you want to discover the non touristic, real china? You'll find it here! on top of that perfectly located in a countryside that is... More
