Yizhou (宜州; Yízhōu) is a city in North Guangxi in China. It is in the northwestern area of the province and is situated on the range of stunning karst formations that covers southern China. Foreign tourists rarely visit the city, so do not expect a solid tourist infrastructure. But you will enjoy travelling away from the beaten tracks.
君怡大酒店; Junyidajiudian
This is one of the few upscale hotels in town and one that is allowed by local authorities to take foreigners. Make sure you are not given a room which overlooks a roof right outside your window with all sorts of garbage on it or an air condition that does not work (you will be offered a fan). Buffet breakfast is available. And maybe local police will pay you a visit and check your visa.
The owners are prepared to take foreigners in, even though their English is practically non-existent. But this is a good chance for you to get to know a real Chinese hotel, which foreigners seldom have a chance to do if they cannot read and/or speak Chinese.
Yizhou has a train depot and can be reached by bus from Guilin (4 hours) or Nanning (6 hours).
