About The Retreat
Sitting on the banks of the Li River’s famous Karst scenery and between Guilin and Yangshuo,
Langshi village find itself in the heart of one of China's most spectacular settings.
The few impressive old houses that remain make this peaceful village a true illustration of
the contrast between traditional China and its drastic recent modernization.
Located deep in the mountains 2h above Guilin, this secluded 'Yao village' is rich in culture, nature and peace.
Only having access to a road as of July 2015 this village has seen very little development and has remained very self sufficient over the years.
Its a great place for friends, families and travelers who would like to feel at home and learn from this unique Yao minority culture.

关于此行
坐望漓水边，静观江水细细流淌，
在奇丽的喀斯特风光映衬下，在村子里住下，看着时光慢慢的书写内心的诗篇。
在桂林和阳朔之间，
浪石位于这中国著名独特风景的中心。
存留下的几座令人印象深刻的老房子使这个宁静的村庄成为了传统与快速现代化对比的真实的写照。。。
接着，
我们居住于大寨，
这座僻静的“姚村”位于桂林市北两小时的深山中，
有着丰富的民族文化，自然平和。
截止到2015年7月，这个村庄只有一条路可以通行，
过去几年几乎没有发展，并且仍然非常自给自足。
如村民般，
穿梭市井，手作茶歇，
让周遭暂定，自然开启。。。
