Cotton Castle Designer Hotel is a 39-room designer hotel at 33 Xiangshui Road in Yangshuo. It is aimed at families: it has an indoor pool, a children’s playground and thoughtful conveniences for children, and guests call it excellent for little ones. The hotel is new, and this is felt in the freshness of the finish. Nearby are the Songcheng show and park, the Shili Gallery and West Street. The high-speed railway station is about three kilometres away, and it is convenient to get there by car or transfer: the hotel meets guests at the station and at the airport. Breakfast gets excellent marks. For a trip to Yangshuo with children, when you need a pool in any weather, it is a very suitable option.
Xiangshui Road: the family part of Yangshuo
Yangshuo is surrounded by karst mountains, and the hotel is not far from Songcheng Park and the evening show, so the area is oriented towards family holidays. Xiangshui Road is quiet, with fields and slopes around. You need to ride to West Street, but during the day you can go to the Yulong River, the rice fields and the Shili Gallery. Yangshuo bus station is not far. For children on such trips the rhythm matters most: an excursion in the morning, rest and the pool in the afternoon, a short unhurried walk in the evening. In the evening after the Songcheng show the streets quickly empty, and the quiet in the hotel is especially pleasant: the children fall asleep without noise, and the parents can have tea in the tea room.
- Songcheng park and show — an evening show.
- Shili Gallery — a gallery against the background of mountains.
- West Street — restaurants and souvenirs.
- Yangshuo Park — walks in the fresh air.
Tip for travellers: It is better to visit Yangshuo in spring and autumn. The end of summer is best for the rice fields. Book a raft excursion in advance and take water and hats for the children.
An indoor pool, a playground and tea
The routine for a family is simple: breakfast in the morning, then the indoor pool, a walk in the afternoon, the tea room in the evening. The indoor pool works in any weather, which is valuable on rainy days. A playground is equipped for children. The hotel has a gym, a restaurant, a tea room, electric-car charging, parking and pick-up at the station and the airport. Express check-in and electronic reading of documents save time, which is important after a journey with children.

Breakfast and tea
Breakfast gets marks from all guests who have tried it. The restaurant suits dinner, and the tea room the evening. Nearby there are cafes and restaurants where you can have lunch after an excursion.
In Yangshuo try beer fish and Guilin rice noodles. Children will like pancakes and fruit. Ask for spicy dishes to be cooked milder. It is better to start breakfast early: in the morning Yangshuo is cool, and by noon the heat grows, and then it is better to spend the time in the pool. For lunch choose a cafe near the Shili Gallery, where the tables stand in the open air and the mountains are visible.
