The Guide to Yangshuo, China (the Hotel, the Li River Bamboo Raft Ride, Impressions, the Reflexology, the Restaurant, the Toilets, the Flight to Guilin and the Rest) from Pearl Escapes 2010

Hi there, I'm Pearl Howie (aka Pearl Escapes) and this is my guide to Yangshuo, one of the most beautiful places in the world and this guide also includes one of my favourite hotels ever; YSMR, a true find and one you may not find on booking sites as it tends to fill up so quickly from direct bookings.

I used to get extremely burned out in my old job and couldn't even handle finding and booking a hotel and flight or finding what to do when I did take time off. So, I thought “wouldn't it be awesome if someone would write a guide that just gave you one perfect escape; the perfect hotel, spa, flight and restaurant.”

So that's what I did.
