We had a fantastic 4 night stay at Rice Field Ideal Homestay. The room was very comfortable, with a great bed, and every time we looked out the window, we had to pinch ourselves because the view was absolutely stunning. The guesthouse is located just above the Blue Terrace, not far from Azheke Village (mushroom houses) and a few minutes drive from the Duoyishu Terrace. Xiao Gao, the owner, is a local. He took amazing care of us, upgraded us and made sure we had the best stay. When he realized we had no means of transportation, he drove us himself to various terraces and viewing points in his car.
Reaching Yuanyang can be a little tricky, so here is how we got there: we took a train from Kunming to Jianshui, and contacted Rice Field Ideal Homestay on WeChat to ask for a transfer by car. It cost 120 yuan/person, and the drive from Jianshui to the Blue Terrace took about 2.5 hours. Easy peasy.
We highly recommend staying there and hope to be back one day. Xiao Gao and all his family are amazing people.

The Yuanyang Rice Terraces are in the water filling period, and there are many tourists visiting recently. The major homestays in the scenic area are doing well.
We chose this Xindu Hotel because it was recommended by a friend. My friend had stayed here before and had a good experience so he recommended it to me.
This hotel is located near the highway in Duoyishu Scenic Area. It is suitable for self-driving tourists and parking is very convenient.
Building 2 of the hotel is newly renovated, with complete facilities and clean rooms. The bedding and towels were new. The hotel has its own restaurant and breakfast included, so it is very convenient to dine in the hotel at an affordable price.
The service of the hotel is also very heartwarming. The boss is very polite and doesn't talk much. He considers the guests in all aspects. On the day we left the hotel, the boss called us early in the morning to reserve seats on the shuttle bus going down the mountain. I was very touched.
We forgot our charger in the room due to our own negligence, so the hotel contacted us and sent it back to us by express delivery. I am touched by the hotel's service awareness.
This trip to Yuanyang was a complete success!
This stay experience was beyond imagination! As soon as I stepped into the room, it was clean and tidy, warm and comfortable.
The boss is even more hospitable. From the beginning of check-in, he felt full of care and helped arrange everything in detail, which made people feel warm.
The convenience of parking also makes travel without pressure, and the spacious parking area can easily find parking spaces at any time, saving worry and effort.
The point is here, the boss's cooking skills are absolutely amazing! Every dish is full of color, fragrance, and every mouthful is full of the warmth and sincerity of home. People can't help but eat it. After a meal, their body and mind are greatly satisfied.
This stay, whether it is hardware facilities or humanistic services, is impeccable. Next time you travel, this place will still be my first choice!

The inn is located in a quiet village in Duoyishu. Location was good - about 15 to 20 mins walk from Duoiyishu terrace viewing platform, and there was a small restaurant near the inn. The Hani caretaker was hospitable and showed me the way to get to the terrace fields in the village. It was so wonderful being able to get so close to the rice terraces! Here, you could view the sunrise without having to pay the 70yuan charged at the viewing platforms. Do note that the 70 yuan ticket allows access to the other viewing platforms as well, and is good for 72 hours. I had a free upgrade to a bigger room with large windows and a view. The room was clean and the bed was so comfortable with an electric blanket. Owner is fluent in both Chinese and English, and was helpful in arranging my transport and giving advice on the sunrise viewing spots. I have beautiful memories of my stay in Duoyishu, would like to come back again!

This time I came to Yuanyang with my parents to take pictures of the rice terraces. I started looking at many B&Bs and finally chose Yunshuiyuan, which had just opened.
The living environment and rooms are consistent with the pictures, the facilities are new, and the sanitary environment is very clean. I like the decoration style very much, and the various facilities are beautifully arranged. There are also out-of-print hardcover books introduced by the Hani people in the room.
Compared with the parking situation on the roadside in the surrounding small inns and B&Bs, in terms of safety, Yunshuiyuan has an independent courtyard parking space monitoring system, which is very safe.
The surrounding transportation is convenient, and you can reach Duoyishu Scenic Area in five minutes' drive in the morning. We went there for two days in a row. Unlike what Xiao said in the book, we could go there at 4 o’clock to take pictures. Instead, we could find a very good location by 6 o’clock. It is also very close to other tourist attractions.
In terms of catering, the B&B will have its own restaurant in the future. Currently, there is Yunnan cuisine outside the B&B that ranks first in the Dianping area. It is a two-minute walk away, which is very convenient.
Unexpected gain: Later I learned that the owner’s positioning of the B&B is also to promote national culture. I was very surprised. The boss enthusiastically also gave us cultural and creative weekly films made from old ethnic embroidery films, which was super awesome 👍

EEnnaVery clean room, conveniently located right in front of the terrace. Great photos. For foreign guests looking for coffee and the usual morning fare, there is a coffee shop within 4 minutes of walking. This was a very nice place to retreat to for a few days of crisp, mountain air, solitude and great hiking.....and beautiful photography, especially if you have a drone
After returning from Yunnan, I finally took the time to comment. This B&B is really good and worth recommending. Young couples born in the 1990s returned to their hometown to start a business. It is especially good. The B&B is located in Pugao Old Village, very close to Duoyishu Viewpoint. If you don’t go to the viewing platform, you can also watch the sunrise and the terraced fields on the rooftop of the B&B, and you can also go down to the terraced fields for a walk. They have their own restaurant where the couple can cook for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the taste is good; if you don’t drive there by yourself, Friends, you can ask the boss to help find a car, carpooling or chartering, which is reliable; they will help carry luggage to the parking lot when checking in and leaving the hotel. The interior of the room is also very clean. I stayed there alone for two days and had a good rest. It's also very good. In short, this is a B&B with good location, good price, good service and good taste. It is worth recommending.
GGuest UserIt was already half past three when we arrived. We were hungry. The landlady asked us if we had eaten. It happened to be the Dragon Sacrifice Festival of the local Hani people. I didn’t expect to have a sumptuous and delicious local banquet. It was such a surprise. .
The landlady was very talkative, haha, and she told us this and that with great enthusiasm, which made us feel at home😆😆.
We were going to watch the sunset in the evening of the day we went there. By coincidence, as soon as we arrived at the observation deck and took two photos, a heavy fog swept up within two minutes. We couldn't see anything. It was still foggy until we left the next day. It’s not gone, Wei Wei feels a little regretful. But this experience here is really great. I will definitely come back next time!
As for the other facilities of the B&B, I have no faults. The hygiene and bed comfort are both very good!
GGuest UserHighly recommend Jackie's guesthouse. It's a really beautiful location right by the rice paddies, nestled into his village. It was a big plus for us that he is fluent in English, so we could ask him lots of questions and he helped us alot. Thank you Jackie!
The area is a bit tricky to explore because they don't seem to do scooter rentals for foreigners. So you have to take these minivan taxi/bus things, which we experienced a lot of unpleasant haggling with. More of a taxi than a bus, at least for tourists. But it sure is beautiful and an interesting culture to get to know.
RReginatownOverall, I was very satisfied with my stay. I was alone in the off-season and it was a bit deserted. Not far from Duoyishu Rice Terraces. Taking a taxi next to the road is very convenient for going out. The landlord is a very quiet guy. The room is hygienic, the bedding is clean, and there seems to be an electric blanket. All in all, I was quite satisfied with my stay in this remote place.
AAnonymous UserThe boss is a lady from Henan Province. She is very welcoming. Before I left, she introduced a chartered car driver to me and reserved an electric blanket for my room. After arriving, we were introduced to the free viewing area and could order food and cook at any time. But to be honest, the room was still a bit cramped and there was barely enough space between the beds. I heard that the voltage on the mountain is unstable and there are always power outages. I also caught one this time🙈
The inn is not far from the Duoyishu Observation Deck, and it only takes ten minutes to walk there. There is a village below, where you can go down to the terraced fields and take a stroll.
After I went there, I realized that the price and quality of accommodation at Yuanyang Rice Terraces vary greatly, especially during holidays, so it depends on your personal preference.
TTravis and ElishaWhat a great location for being amongst the terraces! We splurged and got the terrace view room, and it was very nice with a great view, comfortable bed, warm blankets, and hot shower. The room has an unblocked view of the terraces. But if you don't get that room, the upstairs balcony has the very best view. But we enjoyed watching the sunrise from our bed with hot tea.
Lucian is really great! He explained to us different hiking options for seeing other views. His English is really good too so you can ask him any questions about the area. He has a sweet old dog and a cute young cat. He's also available to pick you up if you get lost or have trouble getting back after sunset.
There are 2 good restaurants a 10 minute uphill walk away, or Lucian can cook you meals, which are also great.
Thanks Lucian!
-Travis and Elisha (Colorado, USA)
PS. Downloading maps.me beforehand will definitely help with meditation
GGuest UserSanitation services are available. The boss introduced the scenic spots and helped carry luggage. It is only a 7-8 minute walk from the Duoyishu Observation Deck. There is plenty of hot water for bathing, and the electric blanket is quite powerful. The downside is that around 10 o'clock in the evening, there are many people who use electricity, the wires are constantly short-circuited, and the charger is flaming. One of my friends, the two chargers of the Apple mobile phone were scrapped, because I was in a hurry in the morning, and I didn't argue with the boss. In short, There must be a problem with the voltage, hope to improve. Nice stay.
LLezaiyuzhiMaybe because it was the off-season, there was no one at the counter when we arrived in the afternoon, so we had to go back to the car and wait because of the rain. It wasn't until a little brother came back that he went upstairs and asked someone to check in. The room is average, but it is still clean, the hot water is not hot, fortunately it is summer now. The restaurant downstairs is closed, so it is inconvenient to eat. You have to drive to a nearby restaurant to eat. I don't know how the breakfast is, because the restaurant is not open, but an old lady should be the mother of the boss! They said they could cook it for me, but it didn't work for me. Generally speaking, I feel that it is not in business and I do not recommend staying here unless it reopens, but there is no elevator, and it is inconvenient to have a lot of luggage. The parking space is at the door, so you can park 3~4 cars!
GGuest UserGood price to quality ratio. Location is convenient, parking is available nearby and staff is helpfull. Hotel had A/C, it works but not very strong. They have an elevator which is convenient for bringing luggage up. I would stay here again.
