Romantic Hotels in Longsheng

If you get the chance to visit Longji/Longsheng to hike through the amazing rice paddies, then you absolutely must stay at Li'An Lodge. The rooms are lovely, clean and quaint, and a cultural alternative to the more modern options in the larger cities. The lodge is run by Aaron who goes above and beyond to help visitors, give local recs, and speaks perfect English. He will also help you avoid any tourist traps.  Li'An lodge is also built on the highest point so you have a fabulous view, and is situated right at the starting point of the main hike in local area. The rooms give you a great view of the rice paddies and the village.  The food is simple and great, or you can eat around the town, which is very atmospheric. We came in the low season end of March, which was misty but fab and we had most of the places to ourselves.  Really can't recommend enough. If you get to Guilinxi (station) they will send a driver to get you. You can also book directly with the hotel over email with Aaron which is easy and efficient. 

This guesthouse stay was truly fantastic, probably the most delightful part of my entire Guilin trip. The location and view are simply unbeatable. As soon as you open the window, you're greeted by the stunning, layered terraced fields. Sitting on the balcony with a cup of coffee, just relaxing, makes time slow down. The facilities are also excellent, making for a comfortable and worry-free stay. The restaurant is on the rooftop terrace. We ordered the bamboo tube chicken and beer duck, both authentic and delicious. The owner even treated us to some homemade rice wine, which was sweet and delightful – a complete surprise. What impressed me most was the owner and staff's warm and thoughtful hospitality. They proactively helped wash our clothes and returned them to our room, patiently explained fun routes and lesser-known attractions nearby, and even kindly arranged transportation to and from the Dazhai parking lot and halfway up the mountain. We didn't have to worry about transportation at all during our entire stay. From the scenery and food to the service, every detail was carefully considered. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Longji Terraces; it's absolutely worth the trip!

Super friendly and helpful boss. The room is clean and has air conditioning, although there is no need to turn it on at night. It is quite cold at night when I was here in mid September. They serve a sumptuous breakfast and provide free laundry service. Beautiful view of the rice terraces especially at night when the lights are turned on. The price is not the cheapest in the village but definitely value for money. The hotel is up on the hill and can be a quite tiring climbing to it.

The hotel features a stunning terrace with breathtaking views of the valley. The rain and heavy fog actually enhanced the scenery, making the landscape feel wild, thrilling, and completely immersed in nature. Huge compliments to the reception team—the staff is super kind and incredibly helpful. This is the perfect place to stay for a true, local experience in the real China.h

An absolute gem in the Longji Rice Terraces – don’t miss it! We absolutely loved our stay at Moro. The hotel itself is beautiful, with breathtaking views over the rice terraces and a perfect location for exploring the area on foot. The rooms are very spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean, and waking up surrounded by this incredible landscape is truly special. But what really made our stay unforgettable was the amazing staff. Everyone was exceptionally kind, welcoming and genuinely caring. Whatever we needed, they were always there to help, finding a solution to every little problem and making sure everything was easy for us throughout our stay. Their warmth, attention and willingness to help went far beyond what we expected and made us feel incredibly well looked after. Another huge highlight was the food. We had both lunch and dinner at the hotel and everything was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh and local, the dishes were beautifully prepared, and honestly every single thing we tried was excellent. Some of the best food we had during our entire trip to China! We genuinely cannot recommend Moro enough. If you are planning to visit the Longji Rice Terraces, this is the place to stay. Beautiful hotel, spectacular scenery, fantastic food and, above all, an exceptional team of people who make the whole experience truly memorable. We would come back without hesitation. Don’t miss this place!

Had an incredible stay at this guesthouse! Nice, clean, and very spacious guesthouse run by a very sweet local family. I would highly recommend paying the upgrade to the terrace room, as the view from the terrace (and swinging chair) were so worth it! The room and bathroom were large, and contained full amenities (water bottles, disposable slippers, toothbrushes, and soap and shampoo.) The food at the guesthouse was delicious, with large portion sizes. I appreciated that the prices were normal and on par with the rest of China, and not extortionate like some other guesthouses. The family was also extremely helpful, and helped book my bus ticket, and get in contact with my next hotel when I couldn’t figure out how to reach them. Overall, I highly, highly recommend and would’ve stayed longer if I could!

The listing is located at the highest point of the terraces. It belongs to Jinkeng Dazhai. The landscape is invincible. We drove by ourselves. The steepest mountain road in the past reached more than 60 degrees. I still feel thrilling. But the landlord took the initiative to propose that the room can be driven on behalf of the car. The wooden structure is not very soundproof, so the prompt action is gently to avoid affecting others. The hot water is Very good, close to the observation deck No. 1, walk to the observation deck No. 2 ~ It takes more than 20 minutes. These two observation decks can see the most spectacular terraced scenery. No need to go to other observation decks. Bring your own meals and fresh food. The listing is very cost-effective.

What truly stood out was the balcony and the breathtaking views from it; you can see vast rice terraces right from your room. The guesthouse is tucked away deep inside the village, making it a wonderfully peaceful and quiet spot. The owner is very accommodating; if they're available, they'll drive down to pick you up from the foot of the mountain, and for the return journey, an uncle will give you a ride back down on his motorbike. Do be prepared for mosquitoes and insects, as they are common in the mountains and might even get into your room. The guesthouse is conveniently located between two main viewpoints: it's a 15-minute walk to 'Thousand-Layer Terraces' and 20 minutes to 'Xishan Shaole'. I went to 'Thousand-Layer Terraces' every day to enjoy the scenery. Getting to 'Jinfoding Peak', however, requires careful navigation. I believe I missed an unmarked shortcut, which resulted in a much longer trek. It took me about an hour and a half of combined uphill and downhill hiking to reach 'Jinfoding Peak'. Even if I had found the shortcut, I estimate it would still take over an hour. The locals at the guesthouse claimed it only takes 40 minutes, but I suspect that's because they're familiar with the shortcuts and are in excellent physical condition. For anyone who isn't very fit, my strong advice is to take the cable car directly from the Dazhai car park to 'Jinfoding Peak' on your first day, explore it thoroughly, and then head down to the guesthouse.

We brought our baby here for some 'distance vision training', so we chose Longji. We didn't expect to run into the local Sunning Clothes Festival – the owner told us it's the biggest festival in Longji, with every household hanging out their clothes, creating a beautiful sight all over the mountains! Our hotel is conveniently located at the top of the mountain, offering a view of the entire terraced fields, which was absolutely spectacular!!! Huge thanks to the owner for specially driving us down to join the activities, we had a wonderful time! Their whole family was incredibly polite and friendly, and the food was delicious! We'll definitely be back next time.

All these photos were taken from the balcony of the B&B! ! The owner of the B&B is very hospitable and the food is super delicious. I had to eat another bowl of my favorite noodle soup before leaving! With such a beautiful view and the friendly local Red Yao proprietress, we stayed one more night. Come on everyone, the scenery is absolutely beautiful, beyond words! ! !
