Question

We are staying at the Dragon River Retreat Hotel in Yangshuo in mid-September. We heard you can go for a hot-air balloon ride over the town. How can I book it for the next day after we arrive in Yangshuo? What is the company name and is there a website for this or a telephone number and prices? Also, what is the average temperature for mid-September in Yangshuo and will we need a lot of mosquito repellant? Xie Xie! :)

Hi, the city is in fall during Sep, when the temperature is about 20C on average. Summer clothes are okay but a little cold at early morning and night. Yes, please take mosquito repellant with you~As for the hot-air ballonn, you could contact with the Flying Hot Air Balloon Club, located at 126, Kangzhan Rd, Yangshuo. The telephone is 0773-8828444, 8828555

Thank you, Mr Shan! I have looked at that website and noticed they charge $290 USD for a one hour flight. The hotel I am booking at (Dragon River Retreat) sent an email offering flights for 650 RMB (about $120 USD). They have not responded to my request for more detail however (spam filter?). Which other company offers these flights for only 650 RMB? I'm sure I read the email correctly.

Sorry, just seem your message. Please don't worry, you hotel may enjoy discount from the balloon company. Usually, travel agencies and hotels could enjoys promotion discounts.
