Number 4 - Yangshuo Mountain Nest Boutique Hotel
The Yangshuo Mountain Nest Hotel is a boutique hotel decorated in traditional Chinese style and located near the Yulong River. This hotel was only recently opened in 2014 and it offers visitors a relaxing stay with comfortable facilities amid an incredible environment.
From the Mountain Nest Hotel to West Street, it can take approximately 15 - 20 minutes by car but the rural setting and hotel facilities (including restaurant and bar) outweight the convenience of traveling into West Street! The Yangshuo Mountain Nest Hotel website includes further details regarding facilities and accommodation.

Number 2- Yangshuo Mountain Retreat
The Yangshuo Mountain Retreat was first opened in 2000 by an American Expat (Chris) but is fully under management by local staff. Located on the banks of the Yulong River, the Yangshuo Mountain Retreat offers a beautiful scenic location as an eco-lodge in Yangshuo. Rooms and facilities are well-kept and comfortable with a tasty restaurant also available at the retreat.
Like all hotels located outside of West Street/central Yangshuo, it can take approximately 15 minutes to drive in the central area, however, with the incredible scenery alongside the gorgeous Yulong River, visitors thoroughly enjoy this proven retreat that has stood the test of time. Further details for the Yangshuo Mountain Retreat can be found on their website.

Number 1- Moondance Boutique Resort
The Moondance Yangshuo Boutique Resort comes in at number 1 of the Best Boutique Hotels in Yangshuo list. Moondance is a converted farmhouse located alongside the river with beautiful views overlooking the Yangshuo countryside. With a high detail to service and quality facilities (with comfortable bedding), the Moondance offers excellent accommodation for visitors. You might ask why is Moondance better than any of the previously listed hotels? Well, they have a pool and the vast majority of my clients love this during the summer time!
Like all other hotels on this list - the Moondance is located approximately 15 - 20 minutes away from West Street via car (it's also close to the Phoenix Pagoda Hotel), allowing a peaceful environment away from the madness that is West Street!
