If you want a large traditional hotel within easy reach of the city and park then this is where to stay in Liuzhou.

Although at themoment building work is being carried out to improve the property this is away from the grand central lobby and large traditional dining room. English is spoken and all staff are so kind and helpful.

Just down the road is the park where you can see China in all its traditional best. Singing, dancing, cards and mahjong all being enjoyed within small pagodas and flowers.

In main Liuzhou very little English is spoken and in a city of 1 million people I could not find a single postcard with a view to send home.
