Xishuangbanna Nanshanyin Chayuanli Guesthouse

This is the most hospitable place I’ve ever stayed at. The place and the owner are wonderful. Hospitality had no borders - very caring, inviting for tea, explaining tea making process. Beautiful tranquil place with marvellous view over tea plantations. Possible to hike around the area through tea plantations, forest and some fields as well. Very tranquil and no people on the hike. Breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. Will definitely be back!

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of China's Tea Plantations Our stay at this homestay was nothing short of magical. We traveled as a group of eight, including two young children, three grandparents, and three adults, and every single one of us had an incredible time. Nestled amidst lush tea plantations, the setting is absolutely stunning. Each morning, we woke up to breathtaking sunrises and a serene mist that blanketed the landscape. The house itself is a work of art—crafted entirely of wood and with impeccable aesthetic taste that reflects a deep respect for nature. But as beautiful as the surroundings and accommodations are, the true highlight of our stay was the hospitality of the host. In our three years in China, we have never experienced anything like it. From the moment we arrived, it felt as though we were visiting a dear friend rather than staying in a hotel. Her warmth, generosity, and genuine care made us feel completely at home. The food was exceptional, and we were treated to fresh fruits and tea throughout the day. She showed special care for our children, teaching them (and us!) how to make tea, and even accompanied us on a walk to share her knowledge of the local flora. One day, she surprised us with her hidden talent as a musician, singing traditional Chinese songs while playing the guitar and drums. Her smile and positive energy were infectious, leaving a lasting impression on all of us. This homestay was more than just a place to stay—it was an unforgettable experience filled with beauty, warmth, and cultural connection. We left with full hearts and wonderful memories, knowing this was the best place we've ever stayed in China. If you're looking for a place that offers not just comfort but also an extraordinary sense of belonging, this is it. Highly recommended!

100% recommend. We stayed here for 5 days and would have loved to stay even longer. Rooms are beautiful, and there are different spaces to relax on the property. The food at the restaurant is delicious and offers plenty of options for several days. The village offers amazing views and there are many paths to be explored on foot. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

Amazing find in the middle of tea garden in a village 30-40 drive from Jinghong. Location is simply great - peaceful in a small village. Rooms are designed with care, comfortable and very well maintained. The hosts are hospitable and helpful with suggestions for trips around. On top of all that, they have a friendly dog in the garden welcoming incoming guests. I highly recommend to spend at least a night there while traveling in Xishuangbanna. The highlight of our vacation.

Amazing spot.

This is such a beautiful hotel! The owners are lovely and extremely helpful. I enjoyed drinking tea and learning about their own tea. Surrounding area is beautiful and great for walking around.
