Longsheng Hotels with Bars

"Pros: The room was quite spacious and the bed very comfortable. We enjoyed beautiful views of the terraced fields right from our balcony. The owner was incredibly hospitable and even helped us with our luggage. Cons: However, there were a few issues. The balcony door lacked a lock, which made us feel quite uneasy and unable to sleep soundly. Hand soap was not provided, and some power outlets were faulty, causing plugs to fit loosely. Additionally, the frosted glass wall separating the bathroom/shower was quite transparent, making it easy to see through – definitely not ideal for families."

"This is my most recommended hotel for a trip to Guangxi. 1. Location: Located just 900 meters from the entrance to Jinkeng Dazhai in Longji, it's easily accessible by car, making it incredibly convenient. You can walk to the Dazhai exit to take the cable car and visit popular restaurants like Yewang. P.S.: The importance of location is something I only realized after my stay. Don't blindly choose a high spot. There's not much to do in Longji, just visit the observation deck and spend some time at the hotel, so location is crucial. Either stay at the hotel the entire time, or hike the mountain trails to your heart's content. 2. View: Courtyard No. 2 is located just below the Longji Rice Terraces, facing Observation Deck No. 2. The public area features a terrace with lounge chairs and sofas, offering a panoramic view of the entire rice terraces. Downstairs is a vast expanse of rice fields, especially when dining in the morning facing the terraces – it instantly whets your appetite. If you choose a room with a view, you can enjoy the view from your room, making for some truly stunning photos. 3. Quality: The hotel's sanitation, amenities, and decor are truly remarkable, with meticulous attention to detail. The quality of the toiletries is significantly higher than the average B&B. The room facilities are clean, tidy, and advanced, and even the shampoo is replaced every time. Every detail reflects quality. 4. Service: The hotel provides free pick-up and drop-off service to Dazhai and certain locations, free afternoon tea, photo-taking clothing, and departure gifts, including black tea and rice wine. I especially want to mention the warm and thoughtful receptionist and the friendly driver who helped us with many of our travel plans. 🤨 I'll definitely stay here again next time."

"I'd like to share my experience staying at this lodge during my trip to the terraced fields. The lodge is situated right within the scenic area, and its substantial size in these mountains far exceeded my expectations. It features traditional stilt house architecture, showcasing a distinctive ethnic charm. All guest rooms are equipped with spacious balconies, offering guests breathtaking, immersive views of the terraced fields. Standing on the balcony, a gentle morning breeze brushes past as the green waves of the terraced fields shimmer under the sun, truly like stepping into a picturesque landscape. Notably, the hotel is also equipped with an elevator, providing immense convenience for guests. This makes navigating with luggage or assisting elderly guests and children significantly easier. Overall, with its spacious balcony views, stringent hygiene standards, and convenient elevator service, this hotel ensures a comfortable and delightful stay. It's a highly recommended choice for both business travelers and leisure seekers. The owner even led us to the fields to catch fish, which was a truly memorable experience!"

"This is the hotel I was most satisfied with during my trip to Guilin. First of all, the hotel has a pleasant view, in the middle of the mountain, up and down the mountain is very convenient, the view location is excellent, booked 270 degree panoramic room, the view is too beautiful, the owner's house has a private large platform, can rest tea and eat, drive can drive near the hotel. Secondly, the service was so good that the boss and his family came down to help us carry our luggage. The boss's family is particularly good, the child has a stomachache at night (before in Beijing gastroenteritis) The boss's family helps find medicine at night, busy before and after, very moved. Third, the boss's house cooked rice dishes, absolutely, delicious and affordable, we ordered fried field snails, ribs, bamboo rice. The beef that the owner marinates at home is particularly delicious. The owner brewed her own rice wine so that we wouldn't get drunk. She even renewed the glass and gave us 2 bottles of fine wine before leaving. The tea is also the local red tea. Very delicious. Fourth, the boss's house has many ethnic costumes, you can match your own, very out of the film. In short, away from the hustle and bustle, the morning rooster crows, the children are also the first time to hear this village rooster crow, very interesting. The hotel was just renovated last year and is very clean. Satisfied, next time come back, will recommend to friends!"

"The guesthouse is ideally located, just a stone's throw from the Jinfoding Observation Deck. It's newly decorated and spotlessly clean. The view from the scenic rooms is absolutely breathtaking, and at night, you can even see the Milky Way! Gazing at the sky full of stars directly overhead was incredibly therapeutic and a delightful surprise. The owner provides fantastic service, offering complimentary round-trip transfers to Jinfoding, which saves you the cable car fee. During the off-season, the owner even upgraded our room for free, making the experience truly exceptional. The restaurant serves incredibly delicious dishes made from ingredients grown and raised by the owner themselves – their own vegetables, chickens, and ducks. Highly recommended!"

"A Serene Retreat Amidst the Longji Rice Terraces | My 3-Day/2-Night Immersion at Qi'an No.1 Courtyard Pushing open the wooden window in the early morning, a sea of clouds slowly drifts across the rice terraces. This living landscape painting is perhaps what we envision as the ideal life. **About the Guesthouse** Perched at an altitude of 800 meters within the rice terraces, Qi'an No.1 Courtyard was meticulously designed by a Guangdong-based architect over two years. Its exterior thoughtfully preserves the traditional rammed earth technique of the Hongyao people, with wooden stilt-house structures built into the hillside, blending seamlessly with the terraced landscape. Stepping inside, however, you'll discover a captivating blend of modern design. **Space Aesthetics** The 'Senxia' room boasts 180-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, where morning mists frequently waft past the sills, silently narrating the timeless tales of the terraces. **Unforgettable Experiences** * **The Warmth of Smart Bathrooms** In this mountainous region of unpredictable temperatures, the heated seats of the smart toilets offer a surprising comfort, truly showcasing the designer's thoughtful consideration for guests. * **Cloud-Like Sleep** The skin-friendly softness of 60-count cotton bedding combined with the supportive comfort of a premium mattress promises an exceptionally tranquil night's rest. **Local Experiences** * **Lacquer Fan Making (Intangible Cultural Heritage)** Guests can experience traditional lacquer art, imprinting the beautiful patterns of the rice terraces onto their own handmade fans. * **Rice Wine Time** Savor locally brewed glutinous rice wine, a sweet and fragrant beverage that carries the essence of the surrounding mountains. * **Fireside Chats** Gather in the sunken courtyard and listen as the guesthouse owner shares captivating stories of life among the terraces. **Delicious Dining** Start your day with aromatic soy milk and rice noodles served with local chili sauce—simple yet bursting with authentic mountain flavors. Afternoon tea features perfectly sweetened cakes, a delightful treat. **Photography Tips** 1. **The Terrace at 7 AM**: The mist-shrouded terraces offer the most atmospheric and captivating photo opportunities. 2. **Terraces by the Guesthouse**: The dappled light and shadows here are ideal for stunning portraits. 3. **Hanfu Experience Area**: The modernized Hanfu outfits perfectly complement the stunning terrace backdrop. **Helpful Tips** * **Significant temperature swings between day and night**: Bring a windproof jacket. * **Some paths are steep**: Non-slip shoes are highly recommended for safety. **Getting There** Take the high-speed train to Guilin Station, then transfer to a scenic shuttle bus (approx. 2 hours). The guesthouse provides complimentary pick-up and drop-off service from the parking lot. Three days immersed in mountain life allowed me to reconnect with the gentle rhythm of time. As the city's hustle faded into the distance, the graceful lines of the rice terraces seemed to whisper a profound truth: life can, indeed, be this beautifully simple. #GuangxiGuesthouse #LongjiTerraces #HiddenGemTravel #SlowLiving"

"The terraced fields were right outside the window. I noticed people taking photos on the platform halfway up the mountain to the right. It wasn't until I walked to the terraced fields that I realized it was a central viewing platform overlooking the area in front of the hotel, so the hotel view was truly impressive. You need to contact the owner in advance to arrange a car; he's quite busy and often on the road, navigating winding paths, the journey takes about ten minutes each way. We had lunch at the hotel and strolled around the village in the evening. There was a convenience store in the guesthouse next door. The owner and the receptionist were very kind and welcoming. It rained after breakfast the next morning, and the village was shrouded in mist. Although the village is heavily commercialized, it has a unique charm. In the evening, I saw an old lady making bamboo rice at her doorstep, a large yellow dog dozing, and chickens roaming freely. Don't use navigation to get to the terraced fields from the hotel; instead, use a car route. There are signs halfway there, just follow them. The roads are always crowded. The walking route directly from the hotel is too dilapidated and deserted; I got bitten by mosquitoes several times."

"Come to play with my girlfriends, this one is very good, the price is not expensive, it is very close to public transportation, it is very convenient to go out, the room is clean and tidy, the facilities are very good, the living is comfortable and comfortable, next time you come here to play this first choice."

"The experience exceeded expectations, the boss upgraded the duplex, the children especially like it, and always said that it was the best room I have ever stayed in. The room was very clean, especially the sanitary ware was the same as the brand new, there was no water stains and scale, and almost no sanitary corners were seen. The homestay itself is also very beautiful, very close to the Golden Buddhading Observation Deck, you can easily see the sunrise. The terraces in October are so beautiful, this experience is really great!"
