This place is pricey but the coffee is so excellent. I really liked the ice coffee too. The Ming Yuan on the river is absolutely beautiful. The downstairs one in town is quiet but cramped. Depends on how you're feeling. I loved reading a book at the riverside branch with a few coffees in the afternoon.

Excellent coffee, great location with views to the river, very interesting interior design and great variety of coffees! Only problem is the price, you can get a meal for much less than that... Definitely recommended for coffee lovers!!!

Ok this place is like an oasis. Old colonial decoration, quiet piano music on the background, people who come to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Their coffee is excellent, making me want to drink a cup after another. On the down side it is overpriced. Never paid so much for coffee.

We happened on this coffee shop by chance on a rainy day after a long, wet bike ride. Good coffee is really difficult to find anywhere in China so it was a great surprise to stumble upon this wonderful coffee shop that is not only magnificently cozy with overstuffed couches and chairs offering a respite from the noisy crowded streets,...

The coffee is amazing and all her food is delicious.We were in Yangshuo for 6 months and this place was our refuge from the business of teaching during the week. We would come here every weekend and just sit... More

My wife and I were in Yangshou for 3 days in September 2011 and stumbled upon the Ming Yuan while strolling the Li riverside on the first day. We were really taken with the lovely atmosphere, unobtrusive service and good coffee and tea. Although priced a bit steep for small-town Chine, we enjoyed it so much that we made a... More

I am a coffee enthusiast from Vancouver who buys espresso from the best roasters in the city and brews it with $1000 worth of home equipment. I boast to give myself the authority to say that Ming Yuan serves excellent coffee - the best I tried in China and I'm sure it is the best there is in Yangshuo. The... More
