Grand Link Hotel (Guishan Hotel)

Grand Link Hotel, also known as Guishan Hotel, is a four-star hotel at No. 42 Chuanshan Road on the bank of the Li River in Qixing District, Guilin, Guangxi, China. Its position on the east side of the river places it near two of the city's best-known sights: Elephant Trunk Hill, the emblem of Guilin at the confluence of the Li and Peach Blossom rivers, and Seven Star Cave within Seven Star Park. The Li River frontage gives the hotel an outlook that few city-centre properties can match, and the walk along the embankment is a pleasant way to reach the old town across the river bridges. Zhengyang Pedestrian Street and the Two Rivers and Four Lakes circuit lie on the opposite bank and can be reached by a short taxi ride. Listed room types are Standard Room and River View Room, and amenities include air conditioning, cable TV and wifi. Rates follow the typical Guilin four-star level of roughly 425 yuan (about 63 US dollars) per night, with river-view rooms usually costing more. The hotel can be contacted on +86 773 319 9999, and its website is guishanhotel.com, which has an English-language version. Specific restaurant, spa and pool information is not listed in the available data, so visitors should confirm what is on site; the surrounding Qixing District also has a range of local restaurants. The service character is that of a conventional four-star hotel serving both leisure and business guests, and the front desk can usually help with Li River cruise bookings, which depart from piers south of the city. The river position makes sunrise and evening views over the water a highlight, and quieter riverbank walks are possible away from the main tourist streets. Visitors who want to be within walking distance of the old-town restaurants should note that the hotel is across the river from the busiest area.
