ALILA YANGSHUO

China

Imagine floating down the Li River stream, seeing the beautiful karst mountains among the green hills… Doesn’t that feel like a relaxing healing experience to you? This #KRAVESCAPE we’ll be talking about Alila Yangshuo in Guilin; a former sugar mill that thrives with the authenticity of the rural life

Alila Yangshuo,

Renovated to suit the modern globetrotters, Alila Yangshuo sets a cool and artistic tone whilst preserving its origins as much as possible. Multihued brick walls become like a historical memento of the stories tracing back to President Mao’s era, right down to slogans that were used back then as propaganda. 

Featuring a mixture of local stone and bamboo, the building is made into a lobby, restaurant, bar, art gallery, library, gym and pool.

High ceilings and antique brick walls exude a nostalgic mood, blending in harmony with its natural landscape. There’s modern furniture and contemporary art to boot, too!

Location : 102 Dongling Road, Guilin, China, 541900

By being surrounded by postcard-worthy views, wellness and healing is fitting as their major selling points.
