Snow Lion Riverside Resort Yangshuo ()

An oasis of peace and tranquility in the Yangshuo countryside

---

The Snow Lion Riverside Resort is my favorite Yangshuo resort. It is where you would want to go for a relaxing holiday. Here's why.

The Snow Lion Resort is located 10 minutes outside Yangshuo along the Li River near Mushan village, east of Yangshuo town center. The hotel is owned by William Lu and his wife Linda Liang. The name Snow Lion Resort refers to the nearby hill top with the name Snow Lion.

The resort is brand new, it was opened only in 2006. The Snow Lion Resort has 30 very spacious and comfortable rooms with balcony. Room on the front and on the back have very nice views. It is located near the Li River with Mushan village in walking distance.

My room when I stayed in the Snow Lion Resort

The first thing that immediately catches they eye is the way the hotel has been build. The architecture of the hotel is different from any other hotel in Yangshuo or even in China.

With a spacious rooftop terrace you can have your own private party up here, complete with a barbeque.

Rooms and prices

The Snow Lion Resort has 30 excellent rooms for good prices available. There are the following types of rooms:

• Standard twin bed rooms: two single bed rooms with balcony
• Family suites: one big king size bed and two single beds with balcony
• Deluxe suites: one big king size bed and comfortable sofas with balcony

  
  Deluxe Double Room

• Deluxe Double Room: king size bed and balcony
• Big Double bedrooms
• Triple rooms: 3 Single beds with balcony

All rooms have the option to place an extra bed for an additional fee per night.

I've stayed in several different rooms and although some rooms are more expensive then others, all rooms have their benefits.

The Snow Lion Resort has wireless internet facilities so you can bring your laptop computer.

Contrary to most hotels, rooms on the back have an equally spectacular view (though not on the river) as rooms on the front. If all the front rooms are full booked, do not be disappointed, your view on the back is great too.

How about eating in the Snow Lion Resort? The bar, cafe, restaurant is great. I spend some time in the Snow Lion and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food.

A great choice for your breakfast would be the Snow Lion Breakfast. It contains of a bowl of noodles with vegetables, meat and fried egg plus steamed buns and honey and coffee or tea as you wish.
