Liping Hotels with Parking

This place was a dream. Jia & Tong are lovely people with good taste. Travelling on my own and having little idea of what to do in the area (due to lacking Chinese language skills), Jia was super helpful with recommendations and arrangements. I only had one day but he managed to make arrangements in such a way that I saw another beautiful old Dong village that wasn’t too touristy as well as the stunning rice-field sunset. I felt like I could even just spend the day watching the view from the balcony whilst drinking the amazing tea. But instead I had a great day and even rounded it off chatting in great company and trying some local drinks. The local people are creative, super friendly and some have a great sense of humour ;) I’ve hardly ever felt so taken care of, so safe, and with so much fun. All the amenities are high quality, the sheets felt like 100% cotton (which is very rare across China I found!) The designs are great using local materials. And yes, the bath is great too! I forgot to ask for local shopping recommendations, which I am sure they must have as they have some beautiful items in the rooms and in the social area. I very much hope to visit again soon. It feels like an area and a place full of people I would love to get to know better.

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!

We had a lovely time in Tang'an. Mrs Pan was a very attentive and thoughtful host, who communicated well through wechat, giving us excellent directions to take the beautiful walk through the rice fields. The accommodation is warm and comfortable, with amazing views down the valley, over the rice fields. Everything there feels new and clean, the bed was big and comfortable and the shower was great. Mrs Pan cooked is an excellent breakfast of noodles and local dong rice, and also arranged bus travel to the next village so we could explore, then picked us up afterwards. The day we left she also arranged our transport to the train station. We wished we could have stayed longer to experience more of the Dong village life, which Mrs pan was happy to share with us. I would this homestay to everyone

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

A Dong Village Stay Impressed by Details and Care - Yunman Shanju Choosing Yunman Shanju for my stay in Zhaoxing Dong Village truly exceeded my expectations! I heard the new Yunnan B&B owner team took over in May and it had only been open for a little over 20 days. I was prepared to give it a try, but the result has truly moved me to write this review, the first time I've ever been so attentive and so touching! The service was truly exceptional: After booking on Ctrip, I added the owner on WeChat and sent him my itinerary. The owner called to confirm my arrival time as soon as I arrived. The high-speed train chartered car was already waiting. The B&B is also very close to the village entrance, so I didn't have to walk far with my suitcases. The owner and his family immediately helped with my luggage, instantly relieving my travel fatigue. We were even given a free room upgrade upon check-in! This pleasant surprise truly made me like him. Most importantly, the owner was genuinely willing to chat and engage with guests, going beyond the usual politeness. You could sense that he genuinely listened to their feedback and suggestions, a truly comforting gesture. The attention to detail in the food and accommodations is evident: Breakfast is warm and authentic: Mornings on the fifth-floor terrace, offering the best views of the entire village, beneath the eaves of the unique drum tower, watch the entire Dong village awaken in the morning light. Enjoying handmade noodles brought in from Yunnan by the owner, paired with sweet and juicy corn and free-range eggs grown in the local Dong village, the satisfying and refreshing feeling is enough to motivate me to finish my meal even after a long night. Afternoon tea: Their homemade bayberry soup, with its sweet and sour taste, is a welcome relief on a hot summer afternoon, far superior to street vendors! ”Living water” is the soul of the homestay: The most surprising thing is that the homestay is located next to an ancient well used by local residents for generations! The homestay uses the clear, sweet well water for tea, drinking, and even cooking. I used it to brew the Yunnan Pu'er tea the owner shared with me. It was incredibly flavorful, with a distinct aftertaste that even plain water had a natural sweetness. This experience of deeply connecting with local life was so unique and precious that I, someone who never drinks raw Pu'er, drank it for two days straight! A comfortable and stylish stay: Excellent soundproofing and good sleep: The rooms are well-insulated, ensuring a quiet, quality night's sleep even in the Dong village. Quality details are meticulously considered: My room had floor-to-ceiling windows and a small balcony, offering a wide view of the Drum Tower in the distance, perfect for daydreaming and relaxing. Even the toiletries, such as shower gel and shampoo, are the owner's own brand, not cheap, generic goods, making them incredibly reliable. The B&B's public areas are a treasure: The rooms and public areas are uniquely designed and decorated, both stylish and full of local cultural charm. The public area on the first floor, spanning over 200 square meters, offers a quiet space for reading, daydreaming, or making a cup of tea. When the owner is free, he'll sit down and personally brew tea with sweet well water. His Yunnan Pu'er, in particular, has a sweet, refreshing aftertaste that I still savor. An unexpected staycation: Guizhou's summers are hot. I had originally planned to explore extensively, but, aside from a visit to the Tang'an Rice Terraces, I ended up staying mostly at the B&B! Amazingly, I didn't feel bored at all. I admired the scenery from the terrace, sat in the stylishly designed first floor, brewed tea with sweet well water, read, and chatted. The guests who frequented the B&B were mostly Cantonese, which made it feel so welcoming, haha! This B&B itself offers a rich, comfortable, and stylish space that invites you to slow down. What impressed me about Yunman Shanju wasn't its luxury, but the genuine care and warmth, as well as its sincere respect and integration into local culture. It gave me a taste of what a B&B should be. Since I booked two rooms, my friend felt the same way! I'm speaking for her... Since there are two posts, I'll share more photos too.

The hotel is in the middle of Zhaoxing, so the position is perfect. The owner is so kind,she gave us a lift to CongJiang railway station. Everyday she gave us bottles of water. The room is clean and has everything you need. I definitely would like to come back!

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.

The landlady is very pretty, and the room was kept quite clean. The quilts and sheets had no strange smells. However, the village itself is quite damp, so there were a few small insects in the room. For this price, it's perfectly fine! The people in the village are all very kind, and the food is clean and very cheap. It's a very peaceful little village, but it won't become popular because there are no wide rivers, making it unsuitable for development.

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.

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
