Yangshuo News, Issue #019: Yangshuo Hidden Dragon Villa, Yangshuo with children and more
July 19, 2010
Hi

It's less then 48 hours before flying to Hong Kong and cycling to Yangshuo again. Weather in Hong Kong and south China are around 30-32C, a good temperature to cycle around. I am excited, as always to go again. It's been almost a year since my last visit and I can't help wondering .... what will be changed this time? By the end of next week or so, I will be again in my favorite Chinese town.

Yangshuo is bathing in the summer heat, 28-32C. I remember some years ago there was a whole day no electric, meaning, no aircon or even fans. A lot of people went to the Li River for a swim. Hopefully not this time!

Yangshuo Hidden Dragon Villa
====================================

A new hotel has opened at the Yulong river: Yangshuo Hidden Dragon Villa. It is a spectacular beautiful hotel, not far from Moonhill and the Gongnong Bridge (the bridge crossing the Yulong river where you take the rafts).

Yangshuo Hidden Dragon Villa

One could call the Yangshuo Hidden Dragon Villa a boutique hotel, it's a traditional styled Chinese mandarin house, though not old but completely new build. This is a beautiful place to stay, of course with all the luxury you can expect from a hotel like this:

Yangshuo with Children
====================================

Recently I got an email, would Yangshuo be good to travel with children and would it be safe for them to enjoy?

The answer is obviously YES. But what can you do with your children? Here's a few ideas:

====================================
Cormorant fishing in Yangshuo
====================================

Since the first travelers visited Yangshuo, cormorant fishing was one of the attractions in town. The best time is to go at night to the Li River. Many people have seen it, Chew wrote about it... here is his recommendation:

Facebook and Twitter

====================================
Jessie's Tours
====================================

Coming to Yangshuo? Book with Jessie, she's the best guide in town but why would you believe me? Instead... here's a few recommendations:

====================================
The Yangshuo rivers
====================================

In the hot summer months the river is always a great way to cool off. Some enjoy a raft, others go for a swim. The locals in Yangshuo town swim in the Li River but the Yulong river is a better option. Here it is safe to swim (the Li River is not that safe). And what is nicer then after a day exploring Yangshuo's landscape then to dip in and cool off.

====================================
Snow Lion Riverside resort
====================================

Like it or not, my favorite hotel in Yangshuo was and still is the Snow Lion Riverside Resort. I consider it almost as my home. What a great place to be. I can not recommend it enough!

And when you're there, do not forget to visit the centuries old village Mushan...
