Guilin (formerly known as Kweilin) has been attracting and astonishing visitors for many centuries. It has also been the inspiration for classical Chinese landscapes of fantastic shape and form of peaks where studded with pines and small pavilions, partly shrouded in mist.
Geologically the peaks are pure limestone that has been eroded into strange formations over millions of years (called Karsts landscape). Here in Guilin these peaks are everywhere you turn, dominating the skyline, parading along the river Lijiang and suddenly appearing at a downtown intersection. There are too many natural wonders in this city and time will never be enough to see them all.

It is only 500 meters away from the Guilin Bus Station as well. The hostel is at a strategic position exceptionally convenient for travelers.
Within walking distance, hostellers can take bus to every place of attraction in the vicinity, such as Yangshuo and Longshen.
