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.

Extremely satisfied with this guesthouse! I initially chose this location because the electric scooter parking at Yu Lin Ba (Fish Scale Dam) costs money, so I figured I'd stay here, see the dam, and then rent a scooter. That turned out to be a great decision – the location is incredibly advantageous, and currently, this guesthouse offers the best value and is the prettiest in the area.
The hotel rooms come with washing machines, there's a 'Sky Mirror' on the rooftop, and a kids' pool downstairs. What really stands out is how attentive they are to every detail. Every corner is spotless. When I went to the Sky Mirror at noon, an auntie even specially cleaned the glass. The swimming rings by the pool were all nice and new, not tattered at all. The room also had a Tmall Genie, and the cleaning was impeccable. I arrived early, and they opened one room for me, and I practically watched them prepare the adjacent one. When we checked in, the staff immediately took photos of our license plate to link it to the parking system. The service was incredibly thoughtful, and we even received brown sugar as a parting gift when we checked out. A truly delightful stay!

I booked this guesthouse last minute and it exceeded my expectations. It's a quiet little place tucked away in a bustling area. The location is right at the entrance of Shuolong Street. Across the river is Vietnam, and the border crossing is to the left. They have their own parking area, which is very convenient. Our triple room was on the fifth floor. There's an elevator, which is great for the elderly. The views are expansive. The room has wooden tables and chairs, which adds a nice touch. The food was also delicious. It's a charming little spot with a lot of character.

Shanyao Xiaozhu Guesthouse may sound unassuming, but stepping into the rooms is a pleasant surprise. First, the cleanliness is impeccable; the beds and rooms are spotless, comparable to a five-star hotel. Second, the service is excellent. The owner is very welcoming and responsive to any questions. When we couldn't find Yushui Dam while driving there, he kindly suggested we call him – a truly kind gesture. The guesthouse is conveniently located near the scenic area entrance, easy to find, and very quiet at night. It even has an elevator, which is rare for a guesthouse. The rooms are particularly noteworthy – each one is large and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning views of the scenic area. I couldn't resist taking several photos. The curtains are automatic, the toilet is a smart toilet, and the bedding is excellent. There's also a table, two chairs, and high-quality toiletries, a hairdryer, and slippers. Having traveled extensively and stayed in various hotels of all levels and star ratings, I feel that Shanyao Xiaozhu Guesthouse offers a five-star experience at an economy price. All 14 of us in our group were extremely satisfied.

I booked this hotel without hesitation solely for the bunk beds with a slide, despite seeing many negative or mixed reviews on Xiaohongshu. To be honest, this phenomenon of villages being densely packed with guesthouses is common in places like Zhoushan too, and as long as there's no noise, I'm perfectly fine with it. The hotel breakfast is very generous; usually, sharing just two portions is enough for an entire family. They also offer different snacks every evening. Renting an electric scooter from the entrance is convenient, and the bicycles provided by the hotel are free. I contacted the concierge in advance to mention my child's birthday, and they kindly provided a complimentary 4-inch cake on the day. So sweet! 🎂

The location is good. Just 300 metres to the official Mingshi scenic area and the Tourist Centre. There are shuttle buses at the Tourist Centre to Detian Waterfall every day at 8.30 am, 12 pm, and 4 pm at 15 Yuan per person. There are also return shuttle buses from Detian Waterfall to Mingshi.
Staying at Kongshan Xiaozhu, we can enter the official Mingshi scenic area for the 8pm night performance by showing the card given to us by the boss.
Travelling to Kongshan Xiaozhu is very convenient by coach from Nanning Xixiangtang Bus Station. The driver will drop you at the roadside just 1 min walk to Kongshan Xiaozhu. Return to Nanning is also the same. The driver will pick you up at the roadside.

The location of this hotel, which I chose for my self-drive trip, was absolutely perfect! It's ideally situated, very close to Detian Waterfall by car, so we could visit the transnational waterfall anytime we wanted. We were also just a short walk from Shuolong Food Street, where we could easily find all sorts of authentic local snacks. It was perfect for both eating and exploring. We happened to be celebrating my child's birthday here, and the owner thoughtfully helped us set up a special birthday scene, which really brought the celebratory atmosphere to life. The room also had a balcony. Looking out, the surrounding landscape was stunningly beautiful, and opening the window revealed a feast for the eyes. It was a trip that perfectly combined beautiful scenery, delicious food, and a sense of occasion – truly a happy and fulfilling experience!

Generally not evaluated, but I feel very good. In the newly opened homestay, we booked two rooms for two nights. The scenery outside the window was very good. The twin rooms on the second floor and the third floor were all floor-to-ceiling windows. The big bed room on the fourth floor had a balcony and I liked it very much. The price was right. The owner of the hotel is very good, and the situation is solved in time. They also opened a drink stall downstairs and sent us juice. I have introduced my friends, the door is the fish scale dam, and the night market stall is downstairs. convenient.

Wonderer in this world
Pros
- excellent views of the river and boats passing by
- convenient location next to the ticket office of the scenic area
- filling breakfast
- helpful owner who also let us charge our EV for free and was ready to help with our luggage
- homestay has its own restaurant
Cons
- the room cleanliness could be much better. There were dirty marks all over the bathroom floor, windows and TV
- poor sound insulation (you can hear your neighbours)
- the village is currently undergoing a lot of construction work - it's clear that the homestay can't change it, however, it would be great if guests could be warned about it in advance. The area is quite dusty
Overall, taking into consideration hygiene and the state of the area around (construction sites), the price was a bit too high for the stay. The views of the nature are unbeatable thought.

Maitland GroomStay here! You can stay at the park gate. Drive up to it at night. Sleep here. He’ll go get your tickets in the morning for you and then you can be in the park at 8:30. You’ll arrive right as the people who have to bus in arrive but if you’re not in a group you can get ahead of everyone and enjoy the park and be on your way around noon
