At GangShe Rooftop View Hotel I (Guilin Two Rivers And Four Lakes Elephant Trunk Hill), our story isn’t just about bricks and mortar—it’s a love letter to Guilin itself. Nestled at No.15 Jiefang East Road, Xiufeng District, we are not merely a place to rest your head; we are a sanctuary crafted for those who seek to experience the heart, history, and harmony of one of China’s most poetic cities.

Our journey began in 2018, when a vision took root: to create a hotel that honors Guilin’s timeless beauty while embracing the comforts and aesthetics of modern travel. We didn’t want to build another generic chain—we wanted to curate an experience. One where guests could wake up to misty karst peaks from their window, sip ginger-date tea as the sun sets over the Li River, and wander out the door to find themselves standing beside the legendary Elephant Trunk Hill or strolling through the lantern-lit alleys of East-West Lane.

From the very beginning, every detail was intentional. Our name, “GangShe,” evokes the gentle flow of rivers and the quiet strength of stone—symbols of Guilin’s natural landscape. The “Rooftop View” is more than a feature—it’s a promise. A promise that no matter which room you choose, whether it’s our serene Japanese-style suite with its round bathtub and minimalist zen, or our family-friendly Cartoon Themed Room designed to delight little explorers, you’ll be treated to views that frame Guilin’s soul.

We opened our doors with 84 thoughtfully designed rooms, each infused with local charm and global comfort. In 2019, we refined our vision through thoughtful renovations, ensuring that every pillow, every teacup, every floor-to-ceiling window was placed with purpose. Today, we proudly stand as No. 2 among 4-Star Select Hotels in Guilin, celebrated not for grandeur, but for authenticity.

Our rooftop restaurant, “Pu Shi · Gui Bei Fusion Cuisine,” was born from a desire to share the flavors of Guangxi with the world. Here, chefs blend traditional regional ingredients with contemporary flair, all while guests dine beneath open skies, gazing at the same hills that inspired poets for centuries. It’s here, over steaming bowls of rice noodles and fragrant herbal teas, that stories are shared—and memories made.

But our story is also written in the smiles of our guests. From solo travelers capturing sunrise photos near Jingjiang Wangcheng Ancient City Wall, to families laughing over board games in our cozy tea room, to business professionals closing deals in our quiet conference space—we’ve become part of countless journeys. Over 11,600+ reviews tell us what we already know: this is more than a hotel. It’s a home away from home, a launchpad for adventure, and a quiet retreat after a day of wonder.

We believe travel should nourish the spirit as much as the body. That’s why we offer complimentary ginger-date tea in the lobby—a warm welcome steeped in tradition. Why we provide butler service in select rooms, because small gestures make big impressions. Why we stock children’s books and toys, because joy knows no age. And why we offer hiking tours and eco-tours—because Guilin’s magic lives beyond our walls.

Our team, fluent in English and Mandarin, doesn’t just serve—you’re greeted like a friend returning to a familiar place. Whether you need help booking a river cruise, finding the best local street food, or simply locating a quiet corner to read, we’re here—not behind a counter, but beside you.

As you step into GangShe Rooftop View Hotel I, you’re stepping into a chapter of our ongoing story—one written daily by the guests who grace our halls, the artists who paint our walls, the chefs who craft our meals, and the city of Guilin that inspires us all.

This is our story.
And now, it’s yours to continue.

Welcome home.
