"I absolutely have to rave about the views from this hotel! We stayed in a pastoral view room, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were like a living landscape painting. The karst peaks and rice paddies stretched out directly before our eyes, and the morning mist and evening glow were breathtakingly beautiful 🖼️. The room was super smart; we could control the curtains and lights with the Xiao Du voice assistant. After a day out, it was so relaxing to lie down and enjoy the scenery. The hotel's location is superb, right in the heart of the Mingshi Pastoral Scenic Area, making it easy to go cycling or take a bamboo raft anytime. The staff provided thoughtful service, and there were even welcome fruits. This experience was almost perfect; it's an ideal vacation spot, and I'll definitely be back!"

When booking, many other guesthouses in core areas were fully booked. I was drawn to this one's triple room and 180-degree view room, and my stay was a pleasant surprise. The guesthouse has an elevator and convenient parking. The rooms are very clean with smart voice control. The triple room has one double bed and two single beds, which is perfect for families with two children. The 180-degree view room is very spacious, with mountains and rural scenery outside the window. You can even light a stove in the room, which was a fun experience. Breakfast is served individually, with coarse grain rice noodles, eggs, fried dough sticks, congee, and fruit – much more substantial than I expected. There are many restaurants and rental shops for electric bikes near the guesthouse. It's also very convenient to cycle to various scenic spots in Mingshi Countryside. I've already recommended it to friends who plan to visit.
The room is large, with a tea table and sofa, and a very artistic atmosphere. The hotel is on the roadside, with convenient parking. If you bring your own breakfast, you need to eat it in Mingshi Villa, which is delicious. The villa is very beautiful, and you can also watch performances and bonfire parties.
The room facilities, though a bit dated, were very well-maintained and clean, showing the hotel's dedication. The hotel is located near the Guichun River within the scenic area, offering views of the Vietnamese people across the river, though the barbed wire fence is a bit of a letdown. However, the hotel's garden restaurant is an absolute disaster—the food is unappetizing and truly awful. I'd recommend eating before you check in or returning to the hotel to rest after you've had a meal elsewhere.
