Li River Waterfall Hotel Restaurant

The Li River Waterfall Hotel Restaurant is the main dining room of the landmark Li River Waterfall Hotel at No. 1 Shanhubei Road in Xiufeng District, Guilin, in Guangxi, China. The hotel stands beside Central Square and is known across the city for the artificial waterfall that cascades down its facade as a nightly show, which makes the address one of the easiest to find in downtown Guilin. The restaurant serves Chinese banquet dining with a focus on Guilin regional dishes and set menus, and it sits at the upper end of local pricing at about ¥300 (roughly $44) per person. The format is typical of a large Chinese hotel restaurant, with banquet tables, set menus for groups and a formal service style, so it suits business meals, family celebrations and tour groups more than a casual walk-in lunch. The room is generally quieter and more formal than street-level restaurants, and dress is smart casual. Service hours are daily from 11:30 to 14:00 and from 17:30 to 22:00. Reservations are recommended for dinner and can be made through the hotel phone or front desk. Visitors who want a polished introduction to regional Chinese cooking in a central location can book a set menu, which removes the difficulty of ordering without a translated menu. The location also makes it convenient to combine a meal with an evening look at the facade waterfall, Shan Lake and the Sun and Moon Pagodas nearby. Prices are higher than the noodle shops and beer fish restaurants elsewhere in the city, so it is best considered for an occasion rather than a daily meal. The hotel's Chinese name can be searched on Amap, Dianping or Meituan for directions.
