    To truly appreciate the peace and beauty of Yangshuo's natural landscape, nothing beats a night under canvas. We will take you away from villages, set up camp by the river front, make a bonfire for barbeque and share stories under the stars. We provide tents, sleeping pads and other equipment, so all you need to do is enjoy the scenery. After experiencing the wild, you will be delighted to return to the Tea Cozy for a well-deserved bit of luxury.

  • Hiking
    Surrounding Yangshuo are many kilometers of top-notch hiking trails. Whether you are looking for a gentle stroll by the river, or a strenuous circuit around the karst peaks, we can help you experience the best of the local area on foot. We can provide you with maps and directions, or with a knowledgeable local guide who will explain the various sights on your hike. And remember, hiking can even be combined with a river trip for a memorable day out.
