Getting to the Li River Retreat

The Li River Retreat is located 2kms to the North of Yangshuo. We stand above the West bank of the Li River amongst a rural setting.

Guilin's airport is 95kms away. Guilin is 65 kms away and this where the train and bus stations are located

We can arrange a vehicle to pick you up from anywhere in Guilin or Yangshuo

Taxis - These can fit 3 adults comfortably or 2 adults and 2 children

11 Seat Mini bus - Up to 7 adults can travel comfortably in these. The other seats are taken up by the luggage

14 Seat Mini bus - Up to 9 adults can travel comfortably in these

We also have access to one Volkswagon Caddy which can accommodate 4 adults. If you book this one, we will need to confirm with the driver that it has not been pre-booked by someone else for the same time

You can arrange your arrival transfer online once you have made your booking and you can edit this transfer anytime

For departure transfers, you can easily arrange these once you are here


Airport transfers- Expect the drive to take around one and a half hours.

Guilin train stations transfers- The drive takes just over an hour
Yangshuo transfers- From downtown Yangshuo to the Retreat normally takes 5 minutes. The Yangshuo downtown area covers the bus station, the boat docks and West Street

Please note that for transfers to the Retreat arriving here between 11.30am and 4pm, we may not be able to get a vehicle to the Retreat as the area near the domestic boat docks is reserved for pedestrians during this time. If this is the case, then one of our staff will meet you in Yangshuo and give you 3 options. 1- walk the 25 minutes into the Retreat. 2- Ride bikes to the Retreat or 3- Wait in Yangshuo until the road is open to vehicular traffic and take a car in. With any of these options, we would leave your luggage securely at our own restaurant in Yangshuo (The Buffalo Bar) and then we will have your luggage transfered to the Retreat once the road is open

Coming from Guilin by boat? Then we can have someone meet you as you come off your boat. For this to happen we need to know the name of your boat and its number. You will only know this once you are on the boat. Without this information it would be almost impossible to find you as there are over 100 boats coming down from Guilin each day. Again, the road to the Retreat will be only open to pedestrians, so we will initially show you to our restaurant (The buffalo Bar) and then once the road is open, we can arrange a car to take you to the Retreat
