Longsheng Homestays

The owner of this Homestay is really great and a wonderful cook like mum's cooking. It felt like home and they can pick you up and drop you off if you call them from dazai carpark bus drop off . The homestay has a beautiful view of dazai rice field and the owner do not hesitate to upgrade your room if place is not crowded . Thank you very much 🙏 God bless 🙏

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!)

The name of the hostel is One Family, and that is exactly what you will get here, since the second day I found myself sitting at the table with the whole family running the place feeling sort of part of this family. On top of that, the owner is part of the local minority living in Ping'ancun, so culturally it doesn't get more authentic than this! But what I truly want to stress is the kindness and helpfulness of the owner's son (whose name I unfortunately have forgotten). He gave me a lot of interesting insights about the history and culture of Ping'ancun, which was truly fascinating. In addition, he gave me advice about my travels, and, ultimately, I would follow his tips seeing some of the most outstanding places in China. So, if you need info and tips about a China travel itinerary, you are also at a good place here. Lastly, the room was like being in a hut on top of a mountain. Surely not as luxurious as other hotels in the area, yet again if you look for something authentic, go here.

Ink and Longji Homestay was one of the highlights of our trip. It’s a cozy and peaceful place nestled in a small village, far from any big city — perfect if you’re looking to disconnect and enjoy nature. The views are absolutely stunning, especially from the nearby observation decks and walking trails through the rice terraces. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They arranged a car to pick us up from Yangshuo, and the manager himself even drove us to Guilin airport — truly above and beyond! The hotel’s restaurant was also excellent, with delicious food and flexible vegetarian and vegan options. Just be aware that since the village is remote, there are no convenience stores nearby — so bring anything essential with you. We really enjoyed the peaceful walks around the area, and the staff gave us great tips for spots to explore, including a beautiful viewpoint we wouldn’t have found on our own. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the beauty of Longji in comfort and with warm hospitality!

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 driver drove us from the Ping'anzhai parking lot to the road closest to the B&B and helped us carry our suitcases to the B&B. He was a very nice person. The panoramic room has a very good view. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the B&B to the Kowloon Five Tigers Observation Deck. In the evening, the terraced fields are already filled with water, which is very beautiful! I had two meals in the B&B. Although bamboo tube chicken and bamboo tube rice are the specialties, chicken soup, bacon fried rice and bacon fried bamboo shoots are more delicious! The rice wine they brewed was delicious. I drank the rice wine they gave me and bought a big bottle to take away.

As soon as I entered the room, I was amazed by the terraced fields in the room. The landlord cooked delicious food and the rice wine was delicious. The children kept thinking about it. He also told me the tips on how to avoid pitfalls when taking taxis. The room was upgraded the next day. The room was well designed. The children had a lot of fun. The photos taken in the room were so beautiful. I will stay at this hotel again next time.

Thanks to the boss for the free room upgrade. The balcony of the family room can directly see the terraced fields. You can take photos of the Milky Way just walking out of the hotel door at night There is a washing machine available for free use

A well-received store with all stars ⭐, the boss drove to the parking lot to pick up and carry the suitcase, arrived at the store very late and patiently made bamboo rice for me to eat, specially presented the rice wine she was making herself, specially reserved for me to take pictures on the top of the terrace, cheaper than others, Originally printed ten photos, but forgot to take them down. The kind proprietress immediately helped contact the photo above and sent it to the entrance of the scenic spot. Finally, she also sent me a bottle of rice wine to take away. Conscience recommended. The most worth experiencing in the 6-day journey.

The room is very spacious and bright, clean and hygienic, the details are in place, there is a toilet pad, the boss, the proprietress is very good, go down the mountain to pick us up, help us take the suitcase to the upstairs 👍👍, the proprietress cooks delicious food, and also presents two breakfasts, a bamboo rice 🤭🤭, And also borrow our motorcycle to ride, it is very convenient to go out to see the scenery, you must like 👍👍👍. Finally, I really suggest that the bathroom install a partition separated from wet and dry, which is more perfect.
