Longsheng Hotels with Breakfast

If you get the chance to visit Longji/Longsheng to hike through the amazing rice paddies, then you absolutely must stay at Li'An Lodge. The rooms are lovely, clean and quaint, and a cultural alternative to the more modern options in the larger cities. The lodge is run by Aaron who goes above and beyond to help visitors, give local recs, and speaks perfect English. He will also help you avoid any tourist traps.  Li'An lodge is also built on the highest point so you have a fabulous view, and is situated right at the starting point of the main hike in local area. The rooms give you a great view of the rice paddies and the village.  The food is simple and great, or you can eat around the town, which is very atmospheric. We came in the low season end of March, which was misty but fab and we had most of the places to ourselves.  Really can't recommend enough. If you get to Guilinxi (station) they will send a driver to get you. You can also book directly with the hotel over email with Aaron which is easy and efficient. 

Longji One Art Hotel was one of the highlights of our Guangxi trip. Beautiful mountain views, peaceful atmosphere, and exceptionally kind staff. The hotel blends modern comfort, captivating art decor and photos with the charm of the rice terraces perfectly. Dinner In hotel was deliciously prepared and included cultural singing and dancing. Grandma’s distilled rice wine was exceptional. Waking up to the mist over the valley was unforgettable. Hiking paths through rice terraces, hilltops, and wooded areas start just outside the hotel door. Highly recommended hotel for anyone visiting Longji Rice Terraces.

It was a perfect living experience. Not only was it comfortable to live here, but the owner and his family were also very welcoming and even invited me to have tea with them. Moreover, their food is super delicious, and the beer fish is also good. When you get up in the morning, you can watch the sunrise on the observation deck, watch the sunset in the evening, and you can see the terraced fields from the room. It can only be said to be perfect. However, the transportation in Longji Terraces is not very convenient, so you need to plan in advance before visiting.

We stayed at the Longsheng Huanlongge Panorama Inn for one night while visiting the rice terraces. We arrived at the hotel after taking a bus and then taxi from Guilin. The hotel is up a hill from where the taxi can drop you, but your luggage is carried up to the top using a special winch system! On arrival we were offered tea and local berries which were lovely. We had our room upgraded to a suite at the very top of the hotel building which offered amazing views over the rice terraces from its private wraparound balcony! The room itself was clean and comfortable with a huge amount of space. We ate dinner in the hotels restaurant which was tasty and reasonably priced when taking the location into account. One of our highlights was the included breakfast, there were lots of different parts of it, which were all delicious. After checking out we hiked through the rice terraces to Ping’an where we caught a bus back to Guilin. The hotel were also very helpful advising us about the hike, buses, luggage storage etc. They also had a very cute dog who was very well behaved! A big advantage of staying here was experiencing the rice terraces before the bus loads of tourists arrived. We would recommend staying here.

Staying at Guanhe Wilderness in May was absolutely wonderful! The hotel is surrounded by rice paddies, and opening the window reveals tender green rice seedlings swaying in the breeze. The air is fresh and moist, carrying the natural fragrance of grass and trees. The rooms are simply designed yet rustic, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in the lush green scenery, making you feel completely relaxed. I especially loved dining on the terrace. The staff were very welcoming and recommended great walking routes in the fields and nearby farm experiences for May. The owner even drove us to the viewpoint himself. Staying here completely escaped the hustle and bustle of the city, allowing me to truly experience a slower pace of life. I'd definitely come back! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves nature and tranquility. This stay deserves a rave review!

LOCATION: Trip.com showed this stay as very close to the cable-car (Jinkeng terrace). That was the main reason for us to choose this place. But, on arrival, we found that this accommodation is about ~19 km far from the cable car station. So, it was an accidental choice for us. Nevertheless, this gave us an opportunity to enjoy this stay – free from hustle-bustle, no regrets. We realized the serenity of this place after visiting Dazhai! 😊 TRAVEL: Foreigners with family and kids. We traveled to the Longji Terraces from Yangshuo by 13:30 bus. It took us about 4 hours. Although we booked the ticket to Dazhai (last stop), we got off the bus at the Jinzhu intersection. The driver knows the hotel and its staff. I did reach out to Ms. Liao Yanzhen (aka Jane) through WeChat (same number as in Trip.com) before starting the journey. She informed the bus driver about us & it helped us a lot. ACCOMMODATION: It is located uphill from the Jinzhu intersection – about 15-minute walk. Since we had luggage, Ms. Jane arranged for a car to carry all our luggage to/from the stay. ROOM: Spacious, clean, and well-maintained. Depending on the room type, a balcony view helps. I had the valley view, which was very nice early in the morning. The room is built on a treehouse concept with modern bath and restroom facilities. It had a kettle, WiFi, etc., all that comes with a standard reservation. FOOD: Received the menu available and the price per item through WeChat. The common dining area is spacious. Food portions were large and tasty! For the hotel location, the cost is reasonable. STAFF: All are very friendly and do their best to make your stay comfortable. We managed all our interactions through the translator app. They surprised the kids with popcorn! During our stay, we played cards after dinner for a few hours in the common area, and the staff were kind enough to help us with table and chairs. Also, on the last day, they showed us their traditional way of preparing food and the ingredients. ONLY SUGGESTION to the hotel: please address the door noise. It is too loud and annoying for occupants as well as neighbors.

An absolute gem in the Longji Rice Terraces – don’t miss it! We absolutely loved our stay at Moro. The hotel itself is beautiful, with breathtaking views over the rice terraces and a perfect location for exploring the area on foot. The rooms are very spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean, and waking up surrounded by this incredible landscape is truly special. But what really made our stay unforgettable was the amazing staff. Everyone was exceptionally kind, welcoming and genuinely caring. Whatever we needed, they were always there to help, finding a solution to every little problem and making sure everything was easy for us throughout our stay. Their warmth, attention and willingness to help went far beyond what we expected and made us feel incredibly well looked after. Another huge highlight was the food. We had both lunch and dinner at the hotel and everything was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh and local, the dishes were beautifully prepared, and honestly every single thing we tried was excellent. Some of the best food we had during our entire trip to China! We genuinely cannot recommend Moro enough. If you are planning to visit the Longji Rice Terraces, this is the place to stay. Beautiful hotel, spectacular scenery, fantastic food and, above all, an exceptional team of people who make the whole experience truly memorable. We would come back without hesitation. Don’t miss this place!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay here. I went out of season, so I was the one of the only guests for two days, this made if even more special. if you travel during rainy season make sure to have rainboots and rain proof coats etc. The nights and mornings can get very cold so prepare warm clothes. The family helped me from booking a local shuttle bus from Yangshuo to arrive and departing and also picked me up on my day of arrival from the park entrance. The Homestay is quite far up the hills, not very easy to find you need to carpool or ask owners to help with scooter ride, but the views and people make it all the worthwhile. It is close to many hiking trails and view points. The family welcomed me with so much love the room was exactly as it said. Their food and pricing is also very affordable. They family is of the local ethnicity and they gave me an up-close view in their lives and their traditional ways. I tasted their rice wine, chilli paste , traditional tea and bamboo rice and many other delicious foods. The owners and family are very helpful and if you have any questions, or want to know more of need to get to a certain part of the area they are happy to help. This family and their black dog filled my heart with so much love and gratitude. Note for for foreign travelers: They don't speak English, but do not let this scare you if you are a foreigner, translator apps are helpful if you can't understand the language. Overall, I highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful, tranquil and family-like feeling enjoy the outdoors and nature. I will definitely be going back!

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel; it’s in a great location, and the view from my room is pretty impressive! The hotel is very clean and well-maintained, though it’s not very well soundproofed—but that’s fine as long as your neighbors aren’t too noisy. The food was very good; the included dinner and breakfast portions are more than enough—no need to worry about that. As for my rating of the service (3/5), it has nothing to do with the hotel staff, who are very friendly, and it was easy to communicate with them even though I don’t speak Chinese. The problem stemmed from communication before I arrived at the hotel. I tried to arrange my arrival through the hotel’s taxi service several days in advance, but received no response from the hotel—neither on Trip nor on WeChat (they didn’t accept my request). The hotel replied one hour before my 6:00 p.m. arrival (luckily, I hadn’t planned to arrive any earlier), but unfortunately, I had already made other arrangements. Better communication in advance regarding this shuttle service would have been preferable. Aside from this minor issue, I highly recommend this very pleasant hotel!

The room condition was excellent, and the view was absolutely stunning. We could take amazing photos right from our room. The owner was very thoughtful and paid great attention to detail. He's also a fantastic photographer; the pictures he took of our family of four were beautiful. All our meals were at the hotel. The breakfast rice noodle set was very flavorful, and the lunch and dinner dishes were delicious, offering both home-style and local flavors. Longji Terraces, we'll be back!
