My three-day stay at Shangri-La Guilin is a wonderful memory of this city. The garden-style design brings the Li River scenery within easy reach. Since I am a light sleeper, I called ahead, and Ms. Luo Hongping from the Front Office arranged a top-floor room with a good view for my stay. Her care and kindness truly…
"Pillowed on the Wind, Draped in Verdure: At Shangri-La Guilin, Experiencing the True Scent of Guilin's Osmanthus by the Li River" On my first visit to Guilin, watching the clouds and mountains dance together near and far from the train, this mountain scenery so different from anywhere else filled me with immense…
Explored Guilin Shangri-La. This hotel is huge, with a Tang dynasty architectural facade, panoramic glass overlooking the mountains, water, and city on both sides of the Li River, an outdoor pool, and landscaped gardens.

Good to know
Does this hotel accept foreign guests?
Star-rated hotels — especially chains and anything four-star and above — almost always register foreign passports as routine. Smaller local hotels sometimes lack the foreign-guest license. Since 2024 hotels officially may not refuse foreign guests: if refused, call or SMS 12345. Book refundable when unsure.
How do I get there?
Show the big Chinese name above to any taxi or DiDi driver, or tap Find in Amap for turn-by-turn navigation. The Chinese name is what drivers read — English names are rarely recognized.
What does the star rating mean?
China's official hotel star rating is assessed by tourism authorities (GB/T 14308 standard): ★★★ = comfortable and reliable, ★★★★ = high-end with full services, ★★★★★ = luxury. It certifies quality, not foreign-guest policy — that's why we flag it separately.
How do I pay there?
Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay with your foreign Visa/Mastercard before you fly — QR payments work at virtually every hotel. Foreign credit cards are accepted at the front desk of most star-rated hotels. Full payments guide →
