The best holidays”

Location, youth and view from my room

I think this is the best place to stay in XingPing. Recommendation, if you not speak Chinese, batter to talk with stuffs:) the price for a renting a bicycle it side hotel more expensive than outside (the price outside 15 per day, in yangshuo 10 per day). The stuff is always ready too help, very good breakfast inside hotel, we loved it! In hotel a lot of foreigners, view from my window was the best!!! Ins easy to take a bus to Yangshuo 阳朔 8RMB per person! And I'm propose you to rent a biceckles at this cities, as yangshuo and other cities around are so different! Thanks to stuff:) we will come back again!

Get to Xingping before it is turned into another Yangshuo”

Aside from the ferry port at the river, which is mobbed by hordes of tour groups getting on or off the Li river cruise boats, Xingping is still small town China. There are no western fast food chains here yet, or Starbucks. The streets are still being paved and sidewalks are being built, along with new hotels. It is a pleasant change from glitzy Guilin and Yangshuo with a lot of great hiking right from the hostel.

Good”

I stayed 4 days and have no real complaints, I have since booked at their other hostel in Guilin. I booked a superior double room which was a little cramped but rooms varied in size. They were decked out in traditional wood which gave it a nice feel. Bed was fine , shower was luke warm most of the time. Staff were helpful , a little laid back. There are many tourists during the day, very quiet at night. Building work everywhere. My guidebook from 16 years ago stated there was only one guesthouse, there must be over 20 plus now. It still had a village feel though, friendly folk and more honest traders than Yangshuo. I chilled out but two days is enough to see most sights.

Location, views, pizza

Good couple of nights although we where unable to do any of the trips as due to the rain and flooding it was too dangerous to go out on the river. Because of the weather the whole place felt a bit damp. The roof terrace was great for some wonderful sunset views. The pizza was delicious and the breakfast ok. Would stay here again if we ever get the chance to return to Xingping. Staff friendly and helpful.

The Hostel is right at the river, just 100m away. It is also near to the Bus Terminal if you are coming from Yangshuo for example. The roof top terrace is also nice. Don't miss the 20RMB viewing spot. But plan to stay at least for 1 full day to enjoy all the interesting places.

Woodfired Pizza, the price, location.

Fantastic, Xingping being quite a small place this really was a little gem. They have a stone oven and the pizza is incredible. Good location close to streets with things happening and right around the corner from a pier area to catch bamboo rafts. Our room had a great view of the mountains. Lovely area lovely hostel.

Great place but...”

It is definitely a quite pleasant place to stay while visiting this "used to be peaceful fishing village". We had a nice view over mountains, which unfortunately ruined by the ravaging construction.. Do not expect too much from the staff, they are nice but not really informative. By the way, there is an ATM which accepts foreign cards in front of the bus station.

The staff is lovable and speaks English a little. The location is good. But actually it is impossible to have a shower because no hot water. The wifi-internet is low : impossible to get your necessary websites, you can just send emails. But unfortunately you have no real other hotel solution in XingPing
