Longji Terraces Far and Near B&B (Ping'anzhai)

The owners, both the husband and wife, are incredibly kind. I originally booked a small room, but the landlady proactively upgraded me to a bigger room for free, saying she wanted us to be more comfortable. 👍 They invited us to warm up by the fire and even washed fruit for us to share with their child. We also had dinner at their place, and it was super delicious; the owner even gave us some rice wine. The next morning, when we were heading out, the owner gave us some sweet potatoes and taro from their own farm, which were incredibly sweet. Overall, everything was wonderful, and it truly felt like coming home. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Longji.

The views from the guesthouse are incredible, and you can enjoy the sunrise from their private rooftop without any crowds. We also had our meals right there. The owner will pick you up at the village entrance once you arrive by shuttle bus. I highly recommend staying in Ping'an Village; you get both stunning night views and beautiful sunrises, and the hike up isn't too strenuous. The homes in this village are quite concentrated, unlike Dazhai where they are more spread out. The local Zhuang people are incredibly warm and welcoming. One evening, while I was wandering around the village, villagers were so concerned I might get lost finding my way back to the guesthouse that I literally had someone offering directions on almost every street! I've also included the shuttle bus schedule for Ping'an Village. You'll need to take this bus first if you're heading to Dazhai or Guilin. Just ask the driver when you board, and they'll help arrange your transfers.

This B&B is conveniently located near the Qixing Banyue Observation Deck, making it very easy to get there. Although it's situated quite high up, the owner provides a thoughtful pick-up/drop-off service and even helps with luggage. The rooms offer fantastic views, are generously sized, and spotlessly clean. The B&B also serves delicious meals and breakfast; the food is made with fresh ingredients and is reasonably priced. A special highlight is the proprietress's homemade rice wine – it's absolutely delightful! It's incredibly convenient to stay here as all your dining and accommodation needs are met. I will definitely choose this place again on my next trip.

The B&B is located at the very top. The owner came to pick us up from the parking lot, but there's still a short climb involved. The view is absolutely stunning, though it's a shame the weather wasn't great – it was really foggy the next day, and we couldn't see anything! 😂
