Yangshuo Mountain River Ballad Hotel - Free Yangshuo Train Station Pick Up and Drop Off

Five kilometres upstream from Yangshuo's West Street crowds, Mountain River Ballad Hotel occupies Sickle Bay Village in Xingping Town, where the Li River bends sharply beneath karst peaks that appear on the 20-yuan note. The complimentary station transfer removes the usual taxi negotiation on arrival.

Rooms face either the river or the village lane; river-facing floors above the second catch unobstructed peak-and-water views at dawn before tour rafts appear. The 9.6 rating across 65 reviews points to staff responsiveness rather than facilities alone.

Xingping itself offers a quieter base than central Yangshuo for cycling the riverside paths to Fuli ancient town or arranging a bamboo raft to the Yellow Cloth Shoal reflection pools, both within twenty minutes.
