Guest UserI made a last-minute trip to Chongzuo and booked the hotel the night before. It was such a pleasant surprise – a hidden gem! The hotel's location is excellent; it's only 500 meters from the visitor center, and you're surrounded by restaurants like Cha Bai Dao, Mei Yi Jia, and various other eateries. The service was superb. The owner readily helped with parking, making the process effortless. The owner's wife is beautiful and kind, and incredibly attentive to her guests' needs. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the family room had floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning mountain views. The breakfast was plentiful, featuring a variety of grains and cereals, plus freshly ground coffee lattes made by the owner himself – a truly delightful breakfast! Upon check-out, the owner's wife even gave me a souvenir – such a thoughtful touch. I hope this little shop thrives!

Mannitama✨ Lux Hidden Gem in Chongzuo | Living within a Karst Landscape Painting
Stayed for 2 nights in a selected Lux Suite, and it was pure bliss! This is the pinnacle of luxury wilderness resorts in China, a secluded haven tucked away on the Mingshi River.
The hotel provides a great selection of drinks and snacks, and the pillow mist was fantastic~
With only 53 rooms, the hotel is quiet and uncrowded. The architecture subtly blends into the peak forests and rice paddies, avoiding over-commercialization. Even the basic room types start from 80sqm, featuring panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony. You can enjoy views of the mountains, rivers, and clouds right from your bed, and the hammock on the balcony creates a perfect atmosphere for watching the sunset.
The riverside infinity pool is a must-try – the photo opportunities with the mountains and water in the background are stunning! Also, don't miss the private bamboo raft afternoon tea. It's a great way to avoid the crowds, float along the Mingshi River, enjoy tea, and admire the peak forests, adding a touch of ceremony to your trip.
The dining offers authentic Zhuang-style cuisine, and you can enjoy drinks under the stars while watching the sunset. Our butler, Pelina, was attentive and professional, providing excellent service without being intrusive.
The hotel is also not far from Detian Waterfall.
This is perfect for those looking for a slow-paced vacation. I recommend staying at least 2 nights to truly unwind.

Jenna M CWe had a lovely stay at Mingshi Yaju Hotel. The hotel staff were kind and accommodating. The buffet breakfast was tasty and there was enough variety to choose from. The room was clean, spacious and nicely decorated. The amenities inside were great too. We made use of the gym and the pool. During our second day, the hotel let us use their bicycles to explore around Mingshi.
Overall the experience was relaxed and enjoyable. Unfortunately there was a little bit of construction happening nearby, but it didn’t generate too much noise and in the evening everything was quiet and peaceful.
For dinner was chose not to eat at the hotel, but rather to explore the restaurants around just outside of the park area. I had a great time and would recommend to friends.

DilidadidaI highly recommend everyone to stay at this homestay in Mingxuan Pastoral. 1. The service is very warm: provide a connection from the homestay to the Mingxuan Pastoral Visitor Center (we participated in the torch festival at 10 pm, and still provide pick-up and drop-off); The child needs to use the computer for homework, and temporarily asks for help from the front desk. I have the help of the younger sister and brother; if there is a problem with the accommodation, please help me solve it at any time! 2. The scenery has nothing to say. Outside the homestay is the lotus pond and rice fields. When we arrived, local residents were planting the grasshopper and could observe the farmland. There are fish, frogs and crayfish in the rice fields. I heard that our previous residents caught three pounds of crayfish. Sleeping in the sound of frogs at night, very pastoral, (not noisy, but also helpful for sleep) 3. It is very close to the tourist service center of Mingxuan Pastoral, and the shuttle bus is about 5 minutes. 4. If you don't want to go out to eat, the restaurant of the famous hotel can order food, the amount is large, the vegetables are very fresh! This time it was beyond expectations!

I did a lot of research online before coming to Chongzuo, and it turns out choosing Mingshi Courtyard was an incredibly smart decision!
First, the facilities are excellent. The room is huge, with a split-level design. Downstairs is the living room and bathroom, and a balcony with views of the garden and pool. Upstairs is the bedroom, a very reasonable separation of living and sleeping areas. Crucially, there's almost no light pollution or noise, which is truly rare and wonderful.
Secondly, the service is outstanding. Many hotels offer butler service groups, but the Mingshi Courtyard's butler was the most responsive I've encountered. From golf cart transfers and addressing requests to providing directions and more – during my four-day stay, every single staff member I met was smiling, warm, attentive, and patient. It felt like they all owned the place themselves. The management is truly impressive!
Finally, and the biggest perk, is how convenient it is to stay at Mingshi Courtyard for exploring Chongzuo, given its proximity to Mingshi Scenic Area. It's actually located *inside* the Mingshi Scenic Area, allowing for an immersive experience of the pastoral scenery. It's also super convenient for visiting Dao Na Li Cafe, Detian Waterfall, and Dongna Yuwan. You can even borrow bicycles from the hotel and cycle through the fields, which is incredibly relaxing!
They even gave us organic rice and other souvenirs when we left.
I really wanted to write them a good review, hoping more people will discover this high-quality hotel!

The hotel also has a laundry room that is very convenient, the front desk is warm, and the surrounding special dining is introduced. The room is covered with floors, the bathroom is separated from wet and dry, the voice assistant service, and the window is beautiful! ! Will choose to continue to stay next time!

ShangqiusimajiongGenerally, we rarely live in a homestay, but there are no hotels near Detian Waterfall and I chose this homestay. The homestay is in the town next to it, and it is very convenient to eat and drink around. The room in the homestay is very new, the staff are very very enthusiastic, we have been very patient to check in for us in the middle of the night and guide the parking. Then the homestay also provides self-service laundry and drying, which is very convenient. The breakfast on the second day was simple but full. It is perfect that the shower room hygiene has a little flaw and can be improved. If you are traveling to Detian Waterfall, you can choose this one.

ZanjiuduileThis hotel is located in a small town next to Mingshi Garden, offering a peaceful and comfortable stay despite being in a lively area. The room was spacious and well-equipped, with beautiful views both from the window and within the courtyard. The bedding and pillows were very comfortable; I slept soundly for three nights, not even waking up during a thunderstorm and rain! We happened to be there during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the hotel arranged a Zhuang minority choir, glutinous rice cake making, and bamboo pole dancing, which was a wonderful cultural experience. They even put turmeric in the glutinous rice cakes, which was a nice touch. The pool was a bit shallow, and the water was very clear underground water, which was a shame I didn't dare go in. The projector in the room was great for watching movies when it rained and we couldn't go out. However, finding an ashtray in the room was a negative point; allowing smoking indoors is quite outdated. The chef's bone fish and dragon's whiskers dishes were both good, but a bit too salty. Breakfast was a little monotonous.
