Family Hotels in Longsheng

"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!"

"The room was spotless, with a southeast-facing window that provided breathtaking views of the terraced fields and sunrise. It was also very well-equipped. The owner was incredibly hospitable; his family owns their own rice paddies, and the meals they cooked were absolutely delicious. They even treated us to some complimentary rice wine. We had the unique experience of catching some fish from their rice paddies, which they then prepared for us as a wonderfully tasty salt and pepper dish. It was an incredibly satisfying trip overall!"

"The Longji Terraces are an absolute must-visit, and I'll definitely stay here again next time. The food was a major highlight. They specialize in authentic farmhouse cuisine, using excellent, fresh ingredients. The flavors were perfectly to our liking. We had two meals there and managed to try most of their signature dishes. The local chicken and duck are must-orders, as is the stuffed tofu with meat. Their special rice wine was also very tasty. Another delightful surprise was the breakfast rice noodles. We hadn't found good rice noodles in Guilin or Yangshuo, but theirs were incredibly springy and smooth. The accommodation environment was superb. The overall decor was excellent, and the hallways were adorned with local arts and crafts, giving the place a grand and inviting atmosphere. On the first floor, there's a cafe/lounge where you can order coffee, and outdoor seating is available. The rooftop boasts an open-air terrace. It's about a 10-minute walk to Observation Deck No. 3. While the view of the entire Longji landscape is somewhat obstructed by other buildings, this minor inconvenience is negligible. The service was fantastic. Upon arrival at the scenic area, the owner sent a car to pick us up from the base of the mountain. Once we reached the hotel, they helped carry our luggage to our room. The recommended travel photographer was also very reliable. Overall, we were extremely satisfied!"

"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."

"It is really a city in the sky, with a wide view. I lazily drink tea in the room and look directly at the magnificent terraces. The scenery is beautiful! The hotel rooms are comfortably and uniquely decorated. I especially like the mini multifunctional book bar, where I read, make tea, and brew coffee. Occasionally, I look up at the unobstructed view of the thousand-level terraces outside the window. I have been so comfortable these two days! The hotel service is also very thoughtful, and the personalized service covers all aspects. Because it is located on the top of the mountain, the road is rugged and difficult. The hotel is very considerate to send a car to lead the way and carry the luggage. For the farther attractions, the hotel takes the safety of the guests into consideration and takes the initiative to arrange vehicles to take the guests to see the scenery. It is very good 👍 In short, the city in the sky is worthy of its name, and I will come again! Check-in from March 6 to 8, 2025!"

"The room was very clean, the boss and his family were very nice, and we had two delicious meals at his house. There was also a swimming pool, my mother and I even swam hahaha, and the scenery was great! The large floor-to-ceiling windows are very comfortable. It is very relaxing to lie on the lazy sofa on the balcony at night. It is really relaxing to be away from the city and in the mountains. The boss also shuttled us to the observation deck for free, which is quite close to the No. 2 observation deck. Rice wine was also given! It tastes really good! In the end, we were given monk fruit and fungus as gifts when we left. It was really a comfortable stay. I recommend everyone to come!"
