Welcome to Trippers Carpe Diem
Yangshuo hostel in the countryside!
Set in the beautiful countryside of Yangshuo, you will find Trippers Carpe Diem, halfway up the hill in one of Yangshuo's authentic nearby villages, where you can immerge yourself in daily Chinese life as it has been for centuries, while enjoying a most relaxing and peaceful environment just a short walk away from the town center.
Our Yangshuo hostel features en-suite double, twin, single and family private rooms as well as dormitories, a common TV-DVD lounge where you can relax and watch movies, read books from our library or freely surf the internet. In our cosy bar & restaurant with next and on top open terraces overlooking the valley below and karst peaks beyond you can socialize with fellow travelers, relax, play games, listen to music, play pool with a view over the landscape Yangshuo is famous for.
Beautiful cycling, hiking and running trails in Yangshuo's countryside start right here in our village. The nearby Li-river is the starting point for some wonderful rafting and kayaking trips taking you through some of Yangshuo's most dramatic scenery while its neigbouring part provides an excellent refreshing swimming area or you cycle a bit further upstream to the more privately 'secret beach' along the Yangshuo Li-river.
To enjoy Yangshuo's qualities, no need to leave the center for the countryside as you would already be there! Next to the most popular activities in Yangshuo (rock climbing, caving, bamboo rafting, lightshow, Yangshuo cooking school, cormorant fishing show, Longji rice terraces,...) for which we provide tickets, maps and transportation, we offer some unique tours aside like guided cycling village tours, guided kayaking trips on a beautiful secluded part of the Li-river, horse riding trips along the nearby Li-river and more.
We also provide calligraphy and mandarin classes where you can learn Chinese language to help you get the most out of your China travels, and Chinese kung fu and tai chi classes where you can gain an insight inn China's foremost arts. Master Kim, Yangshuo's most popular tai chi master with foreigners residing in Yangshuo will come to our hostel and teach you privately on the rooftop, quite an inspiring setting!

At this moment we are very delighted to introduce you to our brand-new Hotel Yangshuo Village Retreat here in the same village that opened its doors in July and features a unique blend of Classic Chinese and European design. Located in a quiet, authentic and beautiful village where everyday farmer's life plays in the valley below as it has been for centuries with Yangshuo's typical green karst mountain peaks as its backdrop, yet within walking distance of Yangshuo's town center, the Yangshuo Village Retreat might have the best location of all Yangshuo hotels... To extra welcome our guests, we offer great promotions for our Standard Double King Rooms up to our impressive Deluxe King Balcony Suites. Please visit our new Hotel Yangshuo Village Retreat website for descriptions, facilities, images and reviews of travelers who valued our retreat consistently among the top 5 out of 135 hotels in and around Yangshuo.
Run by trippers for fellow trippers - with a Belgian-Chinese management - we aim to help you get the most out of your Yangshuo travel experience with a very friendly, informative and personal approach.
Carpe Diem, the latin phrase of Horace's classic poem our name consists of, means 'seize the day' and that's what it's all about out here ; seize the day, seize your stay from the very first moment you wake up !
An oasis of relaxation and quiet comfort where a truly warm welcome awaits you.
Your hosts - Tripper, Jenny & the Carpe Diem Hostel Team!
