Longsheng Hotels with Kitchens

"The owner kindly upgraded our room, and the view was absolutely stunning! We'll definitely be back for another stay. The complimentary private round-trip transfer service from the hotel to Dazhai car park was excellent. They also provided great assistance with booking tickets, offering convenient pick-up and drop-off right at the entrance of Jinkeng Dazhai. **Cleanliness:** Spotlessly clean. They even offer a delicious rice noodle breakfast in the morning. **Facilities:** Equipped with smart home features. The bathroom was sparkling clean, and the bathtub was a huge bonus! **Service:** The transfer service was incredibly thoughtful and caring."

"This is probably the best hotel in that area. I went during the off-season, so the infinity pool wasn't open. The parking lot next door was pretty easy to find a spot in. You open the window and you're right in front of the rice terraces. The owner was really welcoming, and the food was good. On the first floor, there's a massage chair, a pool table, and a foosball table."

"The room's location is great, and if you're traveling with elderly or children, you can enjoy the beautiful view from the balcony. The walk from the hotel entrance to Jinfoding (Golden Buddha Peak) is about 1.5 kilometers round trip, a short climb up the mountain. During National Day, peak season, driving to the Dazhai parking lot is difficult. There's a shuttle bus to the bus stop midway, then a 20-minute walk along the pedestrian path to the Dazhai parking lot. The owner will then pick you up by car and take you into the village. For meals, simply order from the hotel's first floor. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. The complimentary pot of glutinous rice wine was very refreshing."

"My husband and I spent three wonderful days at Qing Shan No. 1 Longji Courtyard during our vacation back home. The best thing about this guesthouse is its incredible warmth, just like being at home! The owner and his mother make super delicious meals – healthy and tasty. We were here for hiking, and even after trekking over 20 kilometers a day, we resisted eating out because we absolutely had to come back here for dinner. It was just too good! The rice wine they make is also very fragrant and sweet."

"Had such a pleasant and memorable experience at this inn. The boss, Mr Yu, is super down to earth and sincere. He cooked super well too - taste is just nice, not too oily or salty. And all his ingredients are fresh from his farm, even the chickens and fishes. What a farm-to-table experience. As it is the low peak season now, he could sit down and have good chats with us. The room is huge, with an unblock mountain view. It’s also near to viewing point 2. There’s this cute inn dog who is so loyal. The room is well kept, with a balcony for you to sit and sip wine or tea. Note that there are insects because we are by the mountains but you could bring your own repellent. We slept well here. The driver, Mr Yang, who drove us up Long Ji also stayed at this inn. We asked that he drives us around for the three days we are here and send us back to Guilin city. His driving skill is very stable and he’s very well-versed with the mountain roads (as he’s a local). What can I say, this experience is simply too memorable. Human relationships forged is the magical part of travel. Would highly recommend you to come experience this inn for yourself (of course during the peak season, the boss might not have time to sit down for a chat). 在这民宿住了三天两晚，也是我们会记很久的回忆。余老板人很善良，也烧了一手好菜。食材都是新鲜的。房间搭理地很干净，我们住的很舒服。床是大床，阳台也很大。我们两个在那儿早上做瑜伽，听鸟叫声，简直太舒服了。看看老板烧菜，和嘟嘟（狗狗）玩，再和它去观景台看看。看杨师傅煮竹筒饭，煮笋，山上生活好惬意呀。这个人情味，回味无穷。"

"We booked two rooms at this hotel, and both were absolutely beautiful. The direct view of the rice fields is stunning and indescribable. It was one of the most wonderful stays I have ever experienced. The tranquility and beautiful landscape offer everything you need to relax. The staff is incredibly nice and friendly, and they are also exceptionally good cooks. We ate at the hotel every evening—simply delicious. It's a wonderful place that I can wholeheartedly recommend to everyone."

"Visited last weekend, and our stay was truly excellent! Longji after the rain was simply beautiful. The views from our room were absolutely breathtaking! The host was incredibly welcoming and helpful, assisting us with our luggage and even providing shuttle service to the viewpoints – their driving skills were quite impressive! The guesthouse's location is unbeatable! It's directly opposite Jinfo Peak, so there's really no need to take the cable car. You might want to visit Viewpoint 2 at most (the host can give you a quick ride, it's very close). What's more, there's another viewpoint just a few dozen meters' walk from the guesthouse, offering stunning sunrise views! They served delicious homemade rice wine, and the mountain spring water was delightfully sweet. My mom particularly enjoyed the fish; the beer fish was incredibly flavorful and went perfectly with rice! I, on the other hand, was hooked on the stir-fried river snails – I ordered them with every meal! The guesthouse itself was impeccably clean. Even the stairs were spotless, and the wooden floors in our room didn't have a speck of dust. Full marks for cleanliness! The floor-to-ceiling windows provided magnificent vistas. The absence of a balcony meant no mosquitoes, and we could witness spectacular sunrises right from our room in the morning, followed by breathtaking 'blue hour' moments in the evening! My mom loved it so much she barely wanted to step out, haha!"

"The location is very good, right in the Zhuangjie parking lot. There is a large parking space at the door and it is free. I walked to observation decks No. 2 and No. 1 from the hotel, but you can also drive there. The scenery is good, the balcony is large, and you can see the No. 2 observation deck from the balcony. The rice noodles for breakfast are delicious, and the dishes I ordered for dinner are also good. They are not expensive and the portions are very substantial."

"I fell in love with the B&B at first sight, and I was not disappointed after checking in. The experience was perfect. The room was very clean and tidy, with a panoramic window, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while lying on the bed. The room was fully equipped, and disinfectant wipes were provided next to the toilet, which was perfect for details. The friends in the B&B were very warm and polite, and took the initiative to move the luggage and responded to everything. The breakfast was rich, the dinner tasted good, and the unlimited glutinous rice wine was praised. There were welcome fruits when checking in, and souvenirs when leaving the store. There were also ethnic costumes provided, which were guaranteed to be photoshopped. A highly recommended B&B, I will come again if I have the chance."

"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"
