The hotel was amazing and the owners were extremely nice and welcoming. We got a free upgrade. The view from our bedroom was very nice. The food was delicious, we strongly recommend the bamboo rice and the eggplants. They offer international and Chinese breakfast. We were able to try traditional costumes for free. It is very well located and you can go to the viewpoints easily. We were also able to go see the illuminated rice terraces at night thanks to the kind advice of the owner.

This was a local hotel that was situated on a peak facing Jinfoding (Golden Buddha Peak), so note it’s not on Jinfoding itself but still in the same area of Jinkeng Dazhai. I hired a driver via the hotel to fetch me from Guilin Airport to the hotel. Journey took about 3 hours using local roads, if you can somehow negotiate with your driver to take the expressway from the airport, it will be about an hour shorter and less scenic but also less nauseating. Access to hotel is pretty limited unless you hire a driver or you drive. If you take the bus from Guilin downtown/Airport, it will only alight you at the Dazhai parking lot, and you still need to make transport arrangements to get to the hotel within the scenic area (anywhere between 20-40min drive) but the boss is helpful and very contactable (phone call or wechat). I wouldn’t recommend walking to the hotel cos it is situated at the top of a pretty steep hill and it is a one-car lane that goes both ways with many blind spots. At the hotel, you could choose to walk and hike the terraces to other viewpoints in Jinkeng, but note that the routes will be very long and exhausting. If you plan to visit other villages like Ping An Zhai, it’s about an hour’s drive away on mountain roads, and it’s best if you hire a driver as well. Overall, room was very clean and spacious and was true to trip.com description and pictures. Very comfortable, clean and scenic stay! Shower and toilet are separate and clean. There’s a bathtub situated right behind the bed, they provided disposable bathtub liner if you want to use it. Hotel is situated near one of the viewpoints in Jinkeng, but it was very misty on the day I hiked. From what I could make out through the mist, the views seem pretty epic. View from the room is great and the boss provided a welcome sweet rice wine drink with lunch which was great! The boss gave me some luohanguo as a souvenir when I checked out! Did I also mention, breakfast provided included a jar of fresh warm soy milk and a delicious bowl of rice noodles made to order! Will stay again in future!

The boss kindly upgraded our room to a much better one! The room was clean, spacious and had a really beautiful view! The hotel also had good recreational facilities with billiard table, foosball table, massage chairs and swimming pool. Breakfast was also provided. The hotel was also located near the West Hill Music and Large Hill Thousand Layers view points, so it’s really convenient!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Wuyan Hongyun Hotel, and I can confidently say it deserves every bit of praise! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking 180-degree view of the dreamy rice terraces, which created a stunning backdrop for our vacation. The scenery alone was worth every minute of our stay. The hotel personnel were not only friendly but also went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. They welcomed us with warm smiles and attentive service, making us feel right at home. A highlight of our visit was the delicious fresh homemade dumplings they prepared for us. They were simply the best we've ever had, and my family enjoyed every bite! Our stay at Wuyan Hongyun Hotel was nothing short of magical, and I can’t wait to return! If you’re looking for a place that combines natural beauty, exceptional service, and mouthwatering food, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

This was such a lovely homestay! The family who runs it are really kind and helpful. They cooked for us (gave us some delicious rice wine!), helped us find some good hikes and also helped us book transport back to Yanghsuo. The location is really great, just a short walk from the centre of Dazhai and the homestay is very traditional. Everything was clean and comfortable, the aircon worked really well, and our room even had a lovely little seating area. I would really recommend this place for anyone staying in the village (also make sure to try their home cooked meals, delicious!)

Very friendly family ran hotel. The greatest advantage is its location, which is only a few mins walk from one of the viewing platforms. The room are well maintained and clean. We booked the sunrise view room and the balcony looked like a painting. Logistically, you need to take the village tourist shuttle to get here from the Ping’an Village parking lot because it’s located within the protected area. You must let the ticket vendor know the name of your hotel so they drop you off at the right one (there are multiple hotels inside the protected area) This hotel is also about a 30 min walk from another viewing platform, which I would recommend doing if you have the time, as the walk was mostly flat and the scenery along the way was very nice as well. Breakfast is quite typical of the area and the dinner was also quite nice. Overall would stay here again!

Facilities: It is relatively complete in the scenic area. Hygiene: Not bad Environment: We like her more Service: Very good We all eat at the boss's house. The food is delicious and the per capita price is reasonable. The pictures were taken in the hotel. When the boss is in the store, you can also order coffee. The location is within easy reach of the No. 1 and No. 2 observation decks. The room price is also ok. There is a small slope to the hotel, which is short but convenient. After all, it is in the mountains. Overall, I am very satisfied with it. It is suitable for friends who drive themselves (park at Yunjing Parking Lot). At the same time, it is recommended that friends who drive themselves, if they have enough time, can first go to the Dazhai parking lot, visit the Golden Buddha Peak, and then check in to the No. 2 and No. 1 viewing platforms, so that they will basically repeat the mountain road less. Of course, the strategy depends on personal preference. All in all, this stay experience was generally good.

Our stay at the hotel was great! The hosts are super friendly and helpful. They also respond very quickly to all your questions and you can easily reach them via WeChat. They helped us to book a direct bus from Guilin to Dazhai and from Dazhai to Yangshuo. The pick up and drop off service from the Dazhai parking lot is quick and efficient, we were really happy that we didn't need to walk up the hill with our heavy luggage. The room is clean, spacious and luxurious. The breakfast is really good. We also ordered food for dinner twice and it was delicious! We also got some very good rice wine and tea with the dinner. We're travelling in China for a month and this was definitely our best stay of the entire trip!

Absolutely fantastic stay, the owners are extremely hospitable and the food served (both the free afternoon tea and the paid dinners) is very good, also had fun dressing up in the ethnic costumes (flexible on when to borrow the costumes, I tried it on in the evening and when returning them, owner recommended holding on to them for another round of photo-taking in the morning when the light is better). Good location to start walks to the various viewpoints to see the rice terraces and also for the bus service to Dazhai.

What a gem! A central location in the Dazhai village to be able to fully enjoy the Longji rice villages. Balcony view kept you connected with the village while relaxing in your room. Instant hot water for the shower and nice connected bathroom. The owners of the hotel were very accommodating and were able to answer all of our questions with kindness. On our way in and out we were taken by car, although walking from the parking lot to the hotel is also a quick option. Finally, we ordered dinner in the room the last evening and were surprised by how well the food was made and also the large portions served. No complaints!
