Romantic Hotels in Liping

Me and my girlfriend got picked up at Congjiang train station which was very convenient. Right from the start the owners of the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. The accomodation is located at the back of the village next to a field where they grow rapeseed flowers and rice during the year. For us the location was perfect as it is very peaceful and quiet but simultaneously litterally a few steps away from the beautiful vibrant little village. The room was very spacious and clean with a gorgeous view on the field. The interior is very well matched and has great facilities. There was even a small laundry machine so we could do some laundry ourselves. So far during our travels in China, this stay was the best we had! There is a very stylish and cute coffee/restaurant located on the first floor of the building. This is also where you will have a delicious breakfast and where Ni Li and her sister will greet you with a smile every time you walk by. Ni Li, her husband Tao Mingqing, her sister and brother played a crucial part during our stay as after the first night my wife got very sick due to an infection and barely left the room during our stay. The second night I got foodpoisoning which made the situation even worse. (Not from the hotel!). We ended up extending our stay due to her condition. Luckily Li's English is very good so that helped us a lot in navigating the medical difficulties. We were extremely lucky to be staying with Li and her family as they took care of us like we were their own family. Preparing custom meals and dinner tailored to our needs every single day, preparing us tea, calling the local doctors and translating and taking us to the local hospital back and forth multiple times. We were there during the Qingming festival so no cars were allowed in the village which made it more difficult to reach the hospital. This didn't stop Tao Mingqing as he took us to the local hospital several times on the motorbike, one by one! The last time I even forgot a bag and he even went back to get it for me! He truly is a legend. Fortunately, my recovery was fairly quickly so I had the chance to explore the village a little by myself and spend time with Li and Ming while staying close to the room for my girlfriend. On day 4 my girlfriend's fever was coming down and she improved a little. Li and Ming invited us to have tea with them. Ming showed me his vast collection of tea and made sure to prepare the best tea suitable for our condition. The tea was truly amazing and he ended up filling a big bag with different kinds of teas as a gift for us! And that was not it, to make sure we would never forget them and drink tea mindfully the Chinese way when we're back home, they gave us the tea cups we used traditionally decorated with the blue dragon and phoenix. It was a very stressful situation and when we felt at our most fragile, they were there to take care of us, strangers they just met. This says everything about these wonderful people. Even though the illness of my girlfriend and the rough situation, we think back to our stay with a very warm hearth as our special experience forged a bond we'll never forget. We are incredibly lucky to have met Li and her family. We have said thank you to them 100s of times already, but I can't express enough how grateful I am for this people. Thank you for taking care of us like your family!!! ＜3 If you are unsure about staying here, there is truly no reason why you shouldn't! Whatever the situation, Li and her family will do everything they can to improve your stay. I'm sure you'll have a blast!

The village has five drum towers representing virtue, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, arranged in order. The shops are located next to the Zhi Tuan tower, in the central area. Choosing this spot offers two advantages: a close-up view of the drum towers and the opportunity to watch the Dong ethnic group's grand song performance. Even after the evening performance, it's very quiet, and the bathing water is hot – I was very satisfied. To enter and exit the village, you need to take a sightseeing bus or hire a car. The sightseeing bus costs 10 yuan per person, and a car hire costs 40 yuan per vehicle.

Staying at Sugong Wujing with my family exceeded our expectations! The guesthouse is in a great location, so convenient for the elderly and kids to explore the village without getting tired. The free shuttle service saved us a lot of hassle getting to and from the station. The room was clean and odor-free, and the mattress was so comfortable that my parents slept like babies. The owner even offered to help us with our luggage, which was incredibly thoughtful and warm! We loved looking out the window at the stream, and watching the Dong village night view from the entrance in the evening was a treat for the whole family. It was truly a wonderful stay in the Dong village, highly recommended!

This is a typical ethnic minority village, with a mix of stone and bamboo-style buildings. The environment is quite nice. I booked in a hurry and didn't check carefully, so there's a slight 'photo vs. reality' discrepancy. I was hoping for a place with an elevator and a swimming pool, as I brought my swimsuit. It wasn't until just before check-in that I discovered the 'scenic pool' was only 10cm deep! To be fair, the host made up for everything with their service. They offered a free room upgrade, complimentary sour plum soup upon arrival, a free selection of drinks and beer, daily afternoon tea, help with transfers and luggage. When there was no hot water in the early morning, one phone call got the issue resolved promptly, without any pretense or impatience. It might be slightly more expensive than other places, but I travel for happiness, and the emotional value I got was absolutely worth it.

To be honest, during the off-season, I didn't rush to book a room on Ctrip when visiting Zhaoxing Dong Village. Instead, I ate at a Dong-style restaurant first. During the meal, I overheard guests at the next table talking about ”Chenfeng Inn,” how dedicated the owner was to the guesthouse, how much he loved travel photography, and how he only stayed briefly in the US, dedicating the rest of his time to his business in Zhaoxing… I also enjoy travel photography, so I found Chenfeng Inn. Stepping inside, I fell in love with it, and without hesitation, I placed a order… Of course, the design, environment, ethnic characteristics, comfort, and value for money were all excellent…

The rooms are clean and hygienic, and the location is central, so it's convenient to go anywhere. There is a snack street nearby, and the hot water is great. The most important thing is that the staircase corridor is spacious, the safety passage is relatively intuitive, the decoration of the corridor has the characteristics of the Dong ethnic group, and the staircase staff cleans it brightly. The wall painting of the guest room is a small scene of the Dong village. I heard from the hotel staff that it was painted by a local. You can imagine the versatility of the Dong people. I like the a**osphere of the Dong village very much. It's great to have such a hotel in the Dong village. I will recommend it to people around me.

This hotel is superb! It's very close to the observation deck and the health center (the main station for the sightseeing bus), right near the entrance of the village. It's only a few minutes' walk from the main street, so the location is absolutely perfect (💯). The bedding is excellent – very clean and comfortable. The balcony offers a fantastic view, basically overlooking the entire village. It's incredibly relaxing just to sit on the balcony. The owner is amazing! They offered free luggage storage even after we checked out. Later in the afternoon, when I was out exploring, I mentioned wanting to find a place to hang my clothes, and they specially arranged a spot for me. So warm and friendly! The travel tips provided by the owner were also very practical.

This place is conveniently located in the heart of Zhaoxing, and it's perfect to explore the town. Furthermore, staff are really kind and available: they also helped us finding a driver to take us around several Miao/Dong villages in the area. Hotel is also really nice: the common area is perfect to relax and spend some time, and also the room is comfortable and fully equipped.

There was a little hiccup because I took the wrong bus on the way to the B&B, but the sister at the front desk listened to our requests patiently and helped us find a solution. I almost didn't stay in this B&B, but luckily I ended up staying here. The environment is particularly warm and harmonious, and the white noise of the small bridge and running water is very pleasant. Later we decided to extend our stay for one day. My sister was very nice and took us to listen to them singing Dong ethnic songs. We felt the atmosphere and learned about the Dong culture. It was very interesting and really good!

A few days before my arrival, I requested contact by wechat through Trip.com which was more convenient and the inn responded quite quickly which was reassuring and I arranged pick-up from the train station. They came back with a printed image of my name on paper and asked to look out for it upon my arrival. Pick-up was pretty smooth and got to the scenic site 15 minutes later. The driver led me to the scenic area's main entrance to buy a ticket to enter. I had to physically walk in through the public entrance for my ticket to be scanned and the driver drove in separately and we met inside the village. I hopped in the car and we drove up to where the ancient village was in a valley. A young man waited by the entrance of the village, took my luggage and I followed him down the path of cobble stones into the village. The inn was very close to the village entrance through a narrow alleyway and then up some stone steps. The inn was opened in 2021, so everything looked new and well kept. I checked in and was shown to my room immediately well ahead of the check-in time of 14:00 which I was so grateful for. The room and bathroom were adequate. Breakfast could be improved. However, the inn provides afternoon tea between 14:00 and 16:00 which is eaten on the terrace on the top floor with magnificent views of the village below. The staff at the inn are so lovely and helpful. They even recommended places to eat and also a local guide. I tried both and wasn't disappointed. The inn also arranged drop-off at the station. Both pick-up and drop-off at the station were free of charge which was an added bonus. I stayed here for one night and was quite happy. It was a perfect start to my high-speed rail odyssey across the southern part of China. I highly recommend this inn due to the location of it inside the ancient village, the views from the terrace and the very helpful staff.
