Huaxia Boutique Inn, the West Street branch, is a small guesthouse at No. 34 Bilian Lane in the middle of Yangshuo. The key advantage is the location: Yangshuo Park is about a minute on foot and West Street about a nine-minute walk, so cafes, restaurants and bike rental are all close. Rooms are simple and all have mountain views, in a handful of types including standard doubles, a triple room, a parent-child room and a mini single. Facilities are modest, with air conditioning, breakfast for a surcharge, luggage storage, tour and ticket help, car rental and a free pick-up from the train station. Prices are low, so it is a good option for backpackers, couples on a budget and anyone who plans to spend their days outdoors.
Location and getting around
From the inn you can walk to West Street, the park and the riverfront, and most bike and scooter rental shops are within a few minutes. Yangshuo Park is next door for a morning stroll, and the Impression Liu Sanjie theatre is a taxi or scooter ride away. The Yulong River and Li River are short rides out of town, so the inn works well as a base for a few days of day trips on two wheels.
Rooms and who it suits
The deluxe triple and parent-child rooms are good for small families or friends, the standard double is the most popular choice for couples, and the mini single suits solo travellers. Rooms are small and plain, so it is better for people who spend little time inside. Travellers who want a pool, a spa or a restaurant on site will find it too basic, and light sleepers should ask for a room away from the lane.
Good to know
Breakfast is available at an added charge, though there are plenty of cheap alternatives nearby. Parking is not mentioned for this property, so it is best suited to those who arrive by train, taxi or shuttle, and the staff can help arrange tours and tickets. Because it is a small property, book ahead in the autumn peak and Chinese holiday weeks, and check recent guest reviews on the booking page for any current issues with noise or the building.
