Luoping Inns

"Our primary goal was to visit Luoping's Jinji Fengcong (Golden Rooster Hills) and its vast rapeseed fields, so we meticulously chose and booked the highly-rated Xinyuan Dream Guesthouse on Ctrip, conveniently located within the scenic area. It was spotlessly clean, tidy, and comfortable, and our spacious view room offered direct views of Jinji Fengcong. After staying here, we realized that staying within the scenic area is absolutely the best choice, saving both time, effort, and money. The guesthouse is run by a young, university-educated couple. The proprietress is a sweet, friendly, and charming young lady; her radiant smile is as captivating as the blooming rapeseed flowers themselves. They offer freshly prepared dishes and rice for all three meals, which are excellent value for money and taste wonderfully fresh and light. The owner even personally drove us to the scenic area entrance in his electric cart, which was incredibly thoughtful. Right outside the guesthouse, there's a field of rapeseed flowers (Pic 2) where every casual snap turns into a stunning photo. Public transport is also conveniently accessible right outside the entrance. I've already recommended it to all my friends on social media who are planning a trip here!"

"[Directions] (as of March 2025) Fly from Tokyo to Kunming, then transfer in Shanghai. Take a bus from Kunming's East Bus Terminal to Luoping (2-3 hours). 48 RMB. Arrive at Luoping's North Bus Terminal and either take a shared van to Jinji Peak (5 RMB) or a 30-minute taxi ride. From the Jinji Peak monument where an old man is teaching children, it's about a 5-minute walk through the city. The driver of the shared van I chartered for the day called me, The shop assistant came to pick me up on the street. [Room] ☆My room was on the first floor, so if I opened the window, I could see parked cars. There was a security camera. ☆The ceilings were high. The blackout curtains were long. ☆Amenities were provided. There were two rolls of toilet paper, thankfully wrapped in plastic. ☆As is common in China, the toilet and shower were in the same room. As expected, I got the shower all wet and ruined one roll of toilet paper and towels. ☆The shower had a ceiling, a handheld, and a faucet. The pressure was low. The hot water was slow, but it did work. ☆There was an unnecessarily large closet. Blankets were also provided. [Hotel] ☆Wi-Fi available ☆There were no TVs in the rooms, so we all watched them together in the lobby. There was also a large sofa. ☆Smoking was allowed in the lobby. ☆There were apples and a paring knife (probably complimentary). ☆There was a dedicated table for enjoying Chinese tea, a Yunnan specialty. You could drink as much as you wanted. ☆By the next morning, there were sunflower seeds and teacups left over from other guests scattered around. [Restaurant] ☆A restaurant (actually a noodle shop without a door, as is common in China) and an inn were attached to each other, facing the street. It's all connected inside. ☆The lady who picked me up worked both at the front desk and as a waitress at the restaurant. ☆There's no menu at the restaurant. They stock vegetables in a refrigerator that sells ice cream at convenience stores, with meat and ham laid out next to them, and they make stir-fries using them. ☆Drinks are served at room temperature. ☆Breakfast is also provided. Everyone had noodles. By the way, for dinner, I had stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, salted and stir-fried rape blossoms (not spicy), and rice, all of which came out automatically for 44 NTD. [Other] - There are more and more tourist attractions around Jinji Peak, so I recommend staying overnight. Watching the sunrise is especially beautiful. - The temple, a great photo spot, is a 5-minute walk away. - There's a large parking lot near the monument. There's a guardhouse at the entrance that's manned 24 hours a day. Feel free to enter without hesitation. - There's a photo spot in the parking lot with the incomplete ”Jinji Peak” inscription. - Access to the temple is through the grounds of the Yunnan Provincial Communist Party building. Climb the stairs, pass the side of the building, and follow the road to the ticket booth. (10 RMB) - It's a fairly steep climb, so wear comfortable walking shoes. - After climbing the stairs, the path splits into two. Take the path marked ”Observation Area” to reach the photo spot. - The photo spot at the observation area is narrow, so if you want to take some great photos, arrive early. - The other path leads to the temple. The view from there is also great, so be sure to stop by. (But be careful, the road can be slippery.) - There are attractions like trains and gondolas. - There are also a variety of open-air stalls. - There was also a tour that took you on a cow-pulled float through a field of rapeseed flowers. - Note that there are no restrooms."

"In the core location of Yunshanghuaxiang Scenic Area, the room is large, a bit old, the food is delicious, it is very convenient to travel and see the scenery, the number of rooms is large, suitable for team accommodation."

"Especially good, I like it very much, the boss is very enthusiastic"

"I came to Luoping for the first time in this county, and the last stop of the holiday trip was originally planned to Luoping to watch rapeseed flowers! It may be because of the bad weather, the rapeseed flowers have not yet fully opened, a little regret. Later, I recommended this inn by friends who have been to Luoping before and stayed at this inn, which is quite pleasant. The overall decoration style of the inn is good and the room is clean and tidy. The boss is very enthusiastic. Although I couldn't see the rape blossoms open in Manshan, I talked to the boss for a while. I learned about Luoping's customs and various local specialties. I also ate the beef restaurant recommended by the boss. It tasted very good and very good! !"

"The sixth and seventh floors are luxuriously decorated rooms, and the conditions are quite good in the homestay. Except that the bathroom is not separated from wet and dry, there is less toilet paper, and there is nothing wrong with it. The room has air conditioning and electric blankets, and they are all used when they happen to cool down. There is an elevator on the floor, which is convenient for going up and down. The first floor is a restaurant and local specialties for sale. The local local specialties of small ginger and honey and vegetable oil look very clean and environmentally friendly. The packaging is neither excessive nor rudimentary. It is just the right feeling and the price is just right. Thanks to the boss and his family for their hard work during the Spring Festival, the elders also think the inn is very good."

"Clean, quiet environment, disposable slippers, toilet is squatting side, uneven floor bath is not convenient"

"In the room, you can see the flowers from a distance, but you have to live on the fourth floor and there is no elevator. Originally a good experience, but at 11:30, I was awakened by a group of unqualified residents. It lasted for nearly half an hour and the door was not soundproof. Speak loudly on the phone, and the child is playing in the corridor. I suggest that the boss stop such uncivilized behavior in the future, and wish business prosperity!"

"The hotel is located in the center of the county, quiet in the middle of noisy. The room was clean and the hotel had its own parking lot and three electric piles were installed. The boss likes orchids, and there are many orchids planted in the hall and yard. The fly in the ointment is that the door is not very conspicuous and does not pay attention to driving. It would be perfect if you could improve it."

"The stay experience is very good, the boss is very enthusiastic, recommended"
