Liping Hotels with Parking

Location: Centrally located in the village, right next to the shuttle bus stop, which was very convenient. The beef noodles that came with the breakfast voucher were also delicious, and they even had freshly ground coffee made by one of the staff members. Service: The two gentlemen at the front desk provided excellent service. They offered pick-up and drop-off from Congjiang Station in a business van, and always greeted us warmly when we came and went. After checking out, they even gave us a thoughtful souvenir, which our child absolutely loved. Facilities: The room was quite spacious with a separate wet and dry area, a smart toilet, and an incredibly large, deep soaking tub that was big enough for both me and my baby. The Xiaomi hairdryer was a great touch – it worked really well and our whole family was impressed by it. Cleanliness: Clean and tidy, on par with a star-rated hotel. Very satisfied.

Hygiene: The place was impeccably clean, no worries about common issues you find in many B&Bs, and not a hint of mildew. Ambiance: The view from the window was absolutely stunning, like a living painting. I'm a complete couch potato, so besides stepping out for coffee and meals, I spent most of my time lounging by the coffee table. It felt like my soul was being cleansed. Service: You'll understand once you get here! Even before check-in, they sent a detailed map and guide. Although my arrival and departure weren't at mealtimes, the auntie was incredibly kind and made me the most delicious beef noodles. The afternoon tea was also super generous, and the shuttle service was on-call. All the staff at the B&B were very enthusiastic – you simply *must* come! There's a guestbook on the nightstand where many guests have shared their experiences, it's very heartwarming and shows how much care the owner puts into each guest. I was a bit sad to leave, but unfortunately, my vacation was too short. I'll definitely be back next time!

The location of this hotel was excellent with a truly wonderful view of a drum tower, covered bridge, bright green fields and the mountains beyond; at night all the ancient buildings were lit up and glowed gold. The owners were extremely helpful with all my travel arrangements and kept in contact, answering my questions I had and ensuring I travelled to the hotel from the train station without any problems

Lovely accommodation ideally located in the village of Zhaoxing. Everything is easily accessible on foot, and the shuttle buses to reach the other end of the village are close by (very convenient for visiting the Tang’an village). They picked us up from Congjiang station and also dropped us off when we left, a very kind gesture on their part. The room was also very nice. The only small downside was that the shower wasn’t very hot and took quite some time to warm up, but this is completely understandable considering the village is quite remote. We also would have loved to see the little animals from the photos, but they were probably staying warm! It should also be noted that the fishing experience is not available during certain times of the year.

The owner was very thoughtful; seeing we had a child, they proactively upgraded us to a family room. The room was nicely furnished, with disposable towel sets and cups instead of traditional hotel toiletries. It had a relatively private balcony with views of the top of the Drum Tower and parts of the scenic area – perfect for relaxing on a deck chair. The hotel's location also avoided the noise of the main tourist area, which was a great advantage for guests who value a comfortable sleeping environment.

Fantastic stay at Bula Lakeside Hotel! Clean room with amazing lake view at the beginning of Zhaoxing Dong village. Hot water and heating worked without any problems. WIFI also worked. I would like to thank the staff the most - the girl at the reception who we communicated with via WeChat and a translator. We are foreigners who don't speak Chinese and she didn't speak English, but we managed everything. Also the gentleman who came to the train station to pick us up to make our way to the hotel easier. We also appreciate his cooking skills as he prepared a perfect dinner for us. I absolutely recommend this hotel and if we ever come back, we will stay here again. Thank you again for the nice time.

Yuyetang is a fabulous guesthouse in the midle of the very traditional dong village. We booked the twin room with view and literally slept with views of the drum tower. The room is very clean and decorated lovely. The place is very well looked after and although the location is quite remote, the guesthouse provides a very good standard. The owners are a young couple that supported us in getting a taxi. When we arrived it was the last day of the national holiday and we were invited to join the family rice harvesting, fishing and doing a barbecue. To get there you can catch a public bus that leaves two times a day from Zhaoxing (25 yuan per person) or you get a taxi (one way 150yuan).

The hotel is in a quiet location close to the main street. The owner is warm and considerate. The wooden structure is very unique and the price is high. Recommended to stay

The B&B is clean, tidy, and exceptionally quiet. The room is comfortable and peaceful, with no noise at all. The natural wood interior feels warm and cozy, and the lush greenery creates a serene and elegant atmosphere. It's perfect for sitting back with a cup of tea, escaping the hustle and bustle. The B&B even has a tea area, which is great for chatting and relaxing. It's an ideal spot for a vacation or simply to unwind and relax for a short stay.

I found myself living in a prose poem within the Dong village. Here I am at the airport, waiting to board, and a small part of my heart is still lingering on that balcony. The guesthouse is located right at the entrance of the village, perfectly situated – not engulfed by the hustle and bustle, nor isolated from the daily life. I pushed open the door, walked into the room, set down my luggage, and stepped onto the balcony. The entire Dong village unfolded before my eyes, layer upon layer, with its dark tiled roofs stretching out like a painting crumpled by time and then smoothed open. I didn't go anywhere that evening; I just sat there, watching the twilight creep in inch by inch. The silhouette of the drum tower gradually turned into a cut-out, and the village lights flickered on one by one, like stars scattered across the mountains. That night, we simply listened to music and chatted in the mountain breeze, with the starry sky above and homes in the distance. We only stayed one night, but it felt as if we had been there for a long time. The room itself was beautiful too, with thoughtful touches hidden in every corner. The interplay of light and shadow on the window lattices, the grain of the wood – every casual shot captured a perfect scene. But these qualities, ultimately, are about the house. What truly captivates you here are the people. The landlady, a native Dong, was born and raised there, exuding a vibrant energy gifted by the land itself. She led us through small alleys not found on any map, where the stone paths were smoothed by time, and wooden houses on either side revealed cooking smoke and clothes drying. She told us which corners had the best light, and in front of which old window lattice we could capture a unique view of the Wind-Rain Bridge – those places without road signs are the true veins of the village. When she had free time, she chatted with us, telling us about working in other provinces when she was young, and how she returned when the road reached her doorstep – preferring to work in her own village, be close to her elders and children, living a steady life. She also talked about swimming in the river in winter, and her eyes sparkled when she spoke of it. It wasn't boasting, but the kind of radiance you see in someone who truly lives life to the fullest. We only spent a day together, but I still remember her way of speaking very clearly. She also helped us arrange for a driver to take us to see the sunrise the next day, meticulously instructing us on the time and location, as if she were organizing something for her own relatives. The next morning, as the first light broke, standing on the mountain and watching the golden light gradually paint the village, my heart swelled with much more than just the beauty of the scenery. Coincidentally, we had just visited the Long March exhibition the day before. The stories of crossing mountains and rivers, enduring snow and wind, still weighed heavily on my mind. Hearing the landlady laughingly say, “Now every village has concrete roads,” in that moment, history suddenly transformed from text in a glass case into the roads beneath my feet, the people before my eyes, and the ordinary life within reach. I have never so genuinely felt that some roads, traveled for nearly a century, have finally reached the doorsteps of ordinary homes. There was also a little sister, running back and forth, helping us with our luggage and making reservations. Her smile was shy and sweet, like a ray of light peeking through the morning mist. We only stayed one night. But in that one night, this guesthouse gave me a memory with warmth. As I left, I wondered how long a trip could be remembered, and perhaps it doesn't depend on how many days you stayed, but on who you met. If you come to Zhaoxing, I hope you stay here. Sit on the balcony and feel the mountain breeze, walk those nameless paths with the landlady, and you'll discover that the drum tower is beautiful, the flower bridge is beautiful, but the most beautiful things are the people and the moments you finally slow down and get close to. Thank you, big sister. We will definitely be back.
