Xijiang Longtangshan house

During the Qingming Festival, I took my parents out for a trip and checked in at the Longtang Mountain House, which I had been interested in for a long time. The hotel is hidden in the mountains. Going up the rugged mountain road, passing by the traditional Chinese village Longtang Village, and then going up the mountain for a while, you can see a group of hotels built on the top of a mountain, which is very "secluded". Because it keeps a certain distance from the ancient village and is outside the style coordination area, the style of the hotel and the traditional village are not affected by each other. The hotel lobby and restaurant are also the best areas for bird's-eye view of the Miao village and terraced fields. The hotel itself is also a poverty alleviation project, and staying here is also very meaningful. The exterior design of the hotel echoes the architectural form of the stilt house. The roof is completely made of tile roofs and traditional masonry methods. The interior uses height differences to form two functional spaces, bedrooms and living rooms, forming a contrast between virtual and real. Each house has a natural landscape facing it, and they do not interfere with each other. The hotel's service is also thoughtful, with rich breakfasts and supper arrangements. I especially like the activities of visiting the Longtang Ancient Village and doing batik in the intangible cultural heritage experience hall transformed from a pigpen. I am very happy. The only drawback is that you have to walk up and down a flight of stone stairs to reach the hotel rooms, which is a good experience for young and middle-aged people, but is definitely not friendly enough for the elderly.

If you want to find a quiet place where you can "live in the human world without the noise of cars and horses" during the holidays, you can choose Longtang Mountain House, a homestay hidden on the hillside of Longtang Village, Leishan County, Kaili. Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the room, you can see the layers of terraces and the scattered Miao villages at the foot of the mountain. In the morning, you can see the misty ink paintings, and in the middle of the night, you can see the shadowy lights. The guest room bathroom will be prepared with all kinds of thoughtful goodies (see pictures), and freshly picked roses are also carefully prepared. A romantic petal bath will instantly wash away the fatigue of the journey. In addition, the fruit plate, the sweet soup that warms the stomach late at night, and the attentive service of the housekeeper on call 24 hours a day are all super good (especially the winding bluestone steps leading to the room, and our carry-on luggage was carried up by the housekeeper) There is a quiet hiking trail behind the homestay that leads to Longtang Village. Stroll along the stone road, get close to nature, walk into the simple life of the locals, enter the village, see children playing and fighting, adults farming in the terraced fields, and feel the most authentic atmosphere of fireworks. The enthusiasm of the store manager and the tour guide Xiaowen is even more unforgettable. They will chat with us like old friends, from the traditional festivals of the Miao people to the local specialties, and give us a plate of local beef for dinner.
