In recent years, the Guilin landscape specialty coffee industry has rapidly emerged. These coffee shops hidden in cliffs, waterfalls, mountains, and caves integrate karst landscapes with leisure consumption, allowing customers to enjoy excellent natural views with just a drink.
Today, let's take a look at this list of landscape coffee.
Yangshuo Cliff Cloud Cafe
Overlooking the gallery and peak forest from the cliff
Yangshuo never lacks scenery, but the cloud coffee on the cliff edge still has a fresh feeling.
This cliff top cloud coffee is built on the karst mountain cliff platform and is a unique experience point derived from Yangshuo's outdoor cultural tourism. Many people will check in together with their Feilada rock climbing itinerary.

The coffee shop is located on a semi suspended cliff platform, without enclosed indoor space, and mainly features outdoor viewing areas.
Looking around, the ten mile gallery's continuous peak forest stretches underfoot, and the view is almost unobstructed. When the clouds and mist come from the mountains, the entire platform feels like it is in the clouds, which is also the origin of its name.

In terms of travel, most tourists will arrange a one-day outdoor trip in Yangshuo, and after completing the rock climbing experience, they will come to the cliff platform to rest. Sitting on the edge of a cliff, blowing the wind in the mountains, watching the ups and downs of the peaks and forests, is suitable for taking atmospheric photos.
Hongxi Waterfall Coffee
Forest style afternoon tea by the waterfall
The Hongxi Scenic Area itself is centered around waterfalls, valleys, and primitive forests, with high forest coverage and crisscrossing streams. The summer temperature is several degrees lower than the urban area.
The Hongxi Waterfall Coffee is located near the waterfall group in the scenic area, which is a newly added leisure business model in the revitalization and upgrading of the scenic area. It directly integrates coffee consumption into the canyon landscape.
The seats of the caf é are scattered on the forest platform downstream of the waterfall, with some leaning against the stream and towering green trees. Most of the seats are hidden under the shade of trees.
The sound of waterfalls flowing in my ears, and the mist drifting in with the wind, gives me a cool and comfortable feeling. Here, there is no noise like city stores, and the environment focuses on quietness and wildness.
In terms of gameplay logic, it is recommended to first explore the Hongxi Canyon, walk the forest trail, and see the cascading waterfalls before turning back to the coffee area to rest.
The surrounding facilities provide simple snacks, which can easily solve the problem of afternoon tea when tired from shopping. Suitable for weekend self driving, about an hour and a half drive from Guilin city center, suitable for friends to travel short distances together.
Yaoshan Cloud Coffee
Overlooking the contours of Guilin's mountains and waters
It is said that 'without reaching the top of Mount Yao, one cannot see the scenery of Guilin'. As the highest peak near the urban area of Guilin, Mount Yao offers a panoramic view of the entire Guilin city and the nearby karst peak forests.
Yaoshan Cloud Cafe is located in the scenic area at the top of Yaoshan Mountain and is a newly added leisure check-in point on the mountain in recent years.
The coffee shop mainly features large outdoor terraces and also has indoor seating.
When the weather is clear, standing on the terrace, city buildings, winding Li River, and nearby mountain peaks are all covered in the eyes. Encountering cloudy and foggy weather, with a sea of clouds surging in the mountains, the city is half hidden in clouds and mist, creating a strong atmosphere.
You can take the cableway up the mountain, visit the observation deck at the mountaintop, or drive directly to the mountaintop.
I highly recommend coming in the afternoon near dusk to watch the city sunset. The sunset falls on the peak forest, and the visual effect is very good.
Chuanshan Cave Coffee
Natural karst caves
Chuanshan Park is an old city park in Guilin. After upgrading its cultural and tourism facilities, it has created cave cafes, also known as cave cafes, in natural caves halfway up the mountain. It is a very unique "cave caf é" in the city center of Guilin.
The store is divided into a coffee area and a light food area. From the cave to the outside, some positions offer a distant view of Tashan and Xiaodongjiang mountains and waters. In the evening, the sunset light passes through the entrance, and the photos are very colorful.
The cave belongs to the original karst space, with a constant temperature throughout the year. It is particularly cool in summer, like natural air conditioning.
The cave preserves the original rock walls and stalactite texture, paired with soft lighting, and fully displays the rock patterns, which is vastly different from the environment of ordinary coffee shops.
After strolling through mountains and climbing, checking in at Moon Rock, I happened to come and rest. It is recommended to choose a time with good weather, where you can see the stunning sunset in the evening~
Let's cool down at Gudong Waterfall
A resting place in the waterfall forest
Gudong Waterfall is one of the few multi-level spring waterfall scenic spots in China that can be climbed. The forest coverage rate is as high as 96%, and the area is covered with dense forests, abundant water vapor, and a cool feeling.
The Gudong Waterfall Cool Bar is a newly upgraded leisure business in the scenic area, located on the valley downstream of the waterfall group.
The biggest feature here is the water facing seats, where some areas can have close contact with the stream. The stream water is clear, and the surrounding trees cover the sky and the sun.
After experiencing the waterfall climb, my whole body was filled with water vapor. Sitting down and resting here was just right.
The sound of flowing water and birds chirping in the forest fills my ears, without the oppressive feeling of a closed room, fully immersing myself in the forest environment.
It is recommended to stay here for half an hour to an hour after visiting the entire Gudong Waterfall to relieve fatigue after hiking and playing in the water. It takes about 30 minutes by car from Guilin city center, suitable for family outings or friends playing in the water.
