Inns in Guizhou, China

This was a last-minute addition to our itinerary & it turned out to be the best accom of the trip. Perfect location in the heart of the ancient town with the balcony overlooking 观圣桥. Absolutely beautiful. Room was big & beautifully decorated. The bathtub was also excellent. Lots of food & places to explore nearby. It was just opposite the hill 石屏山 where we climbed for a great view of the town. We also went up 青龙洞 & got some stunning shots of the buildings.

This homestay is located right at the opposite of Qinglong Cave. From the balcony, we have a closeup view of the Zhusheng Bridge, day and night. We kept the curtain open the entire time as the view is absolutely beautiful. Thank you to the homestay owner who is very friendly and easy to talk to. She picked us up with her cute mini 'car' from the main street as we had 2 heavy luggages. We called her using the free Internet call feature from Trip.com as we didn't have a local phone number. Apparently, the main ancient city street is closed off from cars at certain hours of the day. She was also helpful to contact the taxi driver to send us to the train station on our departure day. There is no Didi service in Zhenyuan city so we had to rely on the local taxi. It's a fuss-free homestay of which we enjoyed very much. Clean, hot shower, comfortable bedding, usual hotel amenities and the absolutely beautiful view from the balcony.

A perfect experience. I used to have concerns about homestays, but this time I completely changed my mind. I chose Xingyi to take my child on a trip during the college entrance examination holiday. I stayed in a hotel in the city for the first two days, and arranged to stay in a homestay in Wanfenglin Scenic Area for the next two days. I booked this Fengsan in advance, mainly because it can be cancelled for free. I didn't expect that after the housekeeper contacted me on the day of check-in, he kept explaining that he hadn't contacted me. Maybe I rejected the strange call as a harassing call. The housekeeper wanted to arrange a pick-up. That night, we gave a very sweet apple and a local fat banana as welcome fruit. My family liked it very much and wanted to know where to buy it. I didn't expect that the housekeeper not only informed the location of the fruit shop in time, but also gave several more. Very considerate. The small infinity pool of this homestay is at a commanding height. It feels great to be able to swim and enjoy the scenery. The breakfast is very homely, and there is sweet soup in the evening. When it rains outside, an umbrella will be quietly placed at the door, and you will feel warm when you open the door. On the last day, we arranged to send you to the airport, and the driver was also very nice. The whole stay was impeccable.

Just at the east gate of the ancient town, it's a perfect location to explore the ancient town. Not far away you have the pedestrian street so everything is easy to reach by walk. Even if it's at a tourist attraction, the rooms are quiet and you can have a good sleep.

What a great stay we had! We were there in off season in late December, but we fell in love with the town, the people and this hotel / B&B. We had a beautiful room with fantastic views on the fields. Everything was clean and in order. The breakfast was freshly cooked for us every morning and it was fantastic every time. The owners were so caring and welcoming, really a lovely couple that is also happy to share stories about the town and their way of living. Even picked us up at the entrance of the town and also brought us back there when it was time to leave. We recommend this place 100% and will come back for sure to this little paradise! Also the location is great, everything can be reached by foot easily.

Parking was inconvenient; you had to back up to get out, and the exit was narrow, plus the parking lot below wasn't big enough. It seems like they're still renovating, and some facilities are incomplete. The view from the front desk on the first floor was nice, the terrace was spacious, and the pool view was fantastic—perfect for taking photos. However, once I got into the pool, I found a lot of sediment, which ruined my swimming mood. The room's decor certainly didn't justify the 1200 yuan price tag. The only redeeming feature was the view of rice paddies and mountain peaks from the window in the morning. Also, I really couldn't accept the use of recycled bottles for water in the room. The complimentary fruit was nice. Because of time constraints, afternoon tea was moved to the morning; the staff said they were too busy preparing breakfast, so I didn't get a chance to experience afternoon tea. There was a friendly young woman with bangs who was very helpful and provided detailed explanations. She also created a WeChat group, which was a nice touch.

The butler service at Fanjingshan Yunshe Courtyard is absolutely top-notch. Even before check-in, they proactively sent warm reminders and travel guides. Upon arrival, they helped with luggage and offered locally brewed welcome tea. When the weather turned cold, they brought extra blankets without us asking. Any requests were promptly handled, and their 24/7 attentiveness made us feel right at home. The village where the courtyard is located, Yunshe Village, is truly a fairyland. Known as the 'First Tujia Village in China,' it's framed by green mountains, with the Longtan River winding through. Tujia wooden houses are reflected in the water, and flagstone paths connect fields and homes. There's no commercial hustle and bustle, just ducks and geese swimming, and windmills turning. Strolling through, the natural beauty and slow pace allow for complete relaxation.

The B&B is very close to Bridge No. 1 and not far from where Baidu cars can drop you off, so the location is excellent. They can also help with your luggage. The room has a fantastic view, overlooking the entire Miao village, and the lights at night are especially beautiful. We were lucky to have clear weather, so the daytime view was also superb. It's very convenient to get to the cable car from the Xiaobeimen (Small North Gate). The room itself was very clean and warm, with air conditioning and an electric blanket. It was a really great experience, and the owner even has cute cats!

The inn boasts excellent views, directly facing Bagua Field, and even has its own observation deck with a fantastic panorama. The room facilities and breakfast are decent and comfortable enough. A special note: we visited in February, and the room's heating was very strong and warm. The only downside is that dining and shopping options nearby aren't particularly convenient; you have to walk several hundred meters to find specialty restaurants or larger convenience stores. However, there's an electric scooter rental shop to the left of the inn – I'm not sure of its connection to the inn, but it seems guests might get a discount. Renting an electric scooter allows you to circle the entire Wanfenglin Scenic Area in about an hour at full speed. So, you can rent a scooter to explore various spots or go to Shangnahui and Xianahui for food, which is quite enjoyable.

I was surprised by the development of Zunyi, a place I visited without much planning, midway between Chongqing and Guiyang. Everyone was friendly and it was clean. The food on the first floor was delicious. I had a good rest. Thank you♡
