Leisure Courtyard Hotel Yangshuo

Stretched along the edge of Jiucaishan Village in Xingping Town, the Leisure Courtyard sits inside a cluster of traditional Guangxi rural buildings facing the Li River karst peaks that define this stretch of northeast Guilin county.

Xingping is a quieter base than Yangshuo town proper, roughly 25 kilometres upriver, where the landscape appearing on China's 20-yuan note was photographed. The village itself is a short walk from the old Xingping waterfront, where bamboo raft operators launch morning trips between the limestone formations.

The courtyard layout separates guest rooms from the common dining area, keeping noise contained at the central terrace. With a 9.6 rating across 132 reviews, the property draws repeat visitors citing the unobstructed hill views from room-facing windows.
