Guest UserThis was the most satisfying guesthouse during my trip to Guizhou. Located in Tang'an Dong Village, it offers a healing view of sprawling terraced fields right outside your window. The guesthouse was just built in October 2025, so the facilities are incredibly new and smart – you wouldn't expect this in a village guesthouse! The owners are also very welcoming; if you contact them in advance, they can pick you up from the Dong Village entrance. The best part is how convenient it is to watch both sunrise and sunset from the guesthouse, without having to take a bus and then a sightseeing car from Zhaoxing Dong Village. Especially for sunrise, you can book with the owner beforehand, and they'll drive you to the observation deck above Tang'an Dong Village. If you're lucky, you might even see a sea of clouds, which is absolutely spectacular! Tang'an Dong Village is quieter and less crowded than Zhaoxing Dong Village, making it perfect for a peaceful stroll. If you want to see terraced fields and sunrise and prefer to avoid crowds, this is the ideal place to stay! Looking forward to my next visit~

Great hotel that offers value for money. It is located only 100 meters from the main street and you can do a really nice walk in two hours to Tang'an that offers nice views over the rice paddies (just follow the main road and then the signs that clearly mark a path). The room is small and simple but offers everything and the hotel lobby has an exquisite view of the village. It also has a small rooftop with a few seats to watch the sun set. Overall a nice experience!

Guest UserTraveling to Zhaoxing Dong Village during the off-season, I stumbled upon Zhaoxing No. 1 Boutique Homestay, and it was truly a delightful surprise! The overall quality and attentive service are absolutely on par with five-star standards – an amazing experience. Especially their breakfast rice noodles, they were so authentic and flavorful, I was hooked after one bite, absolutely delicious. My stay was comfortable and peaceful, I genuinely and highly recommend it. Next time I visit the Dong Village, this will definitely be my first choice again!

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 hotel room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The bathroom shower was also clean and tidy, with a separate shower and toilet area.
The receptionist provided free pick-up and drop-off service to and from the Dong village. He was always available, punctual, and very helpful!
Inquiries were answered quickly, and the information provided was useful.
I spent a day and a night here, visiting Zhaoxing Dong Village and Tang'an Rice Terraces. I had a wonderful time!

Yuyetang is a fabulous guesthouse in the midle of the very traditional dong village. We booked the twin room with view and literally slept with views of the drum tower. The room is very clean and decorated lovely. The place is very well looked after and although the location is quite remote, the guesthouse provides a very good standard. The owners are a young couple that supported us in getting a taxi. When we arrived it was the last day of the national holiday and we were invited to join the family rice harvesting, fishing and doing a barbecue.
To get there you can catch a public bus that leaves two times a day from Zhaoxing (25 yuan per person) or you get a taxi (one way 150yuan).

Anonymous UserThis stay exceeded my expectations, highly recommended! The room was clean and tidy, with excellent lighting and soundproofing. The bedding was soft and comfortable, making for a superb living experience. The overall environment was rich in ethnic charm, balancing comfort with cultural features. The service was attentive and it offered great value for money. You can't go wrong choosing this place when traveling to the area; I'll definitely choose it again next time. The front desk lady was gentle and thoughtful; she made check-in efficient and smooth, and even proactively recommended local attractions and patiently answered our travel questions. The attention to detail was really heartwarming. The most delightful surprise at the hotel was the intangible cultural heritage batik handcraft experience. A professional teacher provided hands-on instruction, guiding us from sketching patterns and indigo dyeing to drying the finished product. It was an immersive experience into the charm of traditional craftsmanship, and we could take home our unique handmade creations as a memorable souvenir.

I found myself living in a prose poem within the Dong village.
Here I am at the airport, waiting to board, and a small part of my heart is still lingering on that balcony.
The guesthouse is located right at the entrance of the village, perfectly situated – not engulfed by the hustle and bustle, nor isolated from the daily life. I pushed open the door, walked into the room, set down my luggage, and stepped onto the balcony. The entire Dong village unfolded before my eyes, layer upon layer, with its dark tiled roofs stretching out like a painting crumpled by time and then smoothed open. I didn't go anywhere that evening; I just sat there, watching the twilight creep in inch by inch. The silhouette of the drum tower gradually turned into a cut-out, and the village lights flickered on one by one, like stars scattered across the mountains.
That night, we simply listened to music and chatted in the mountain breeze, with the starry sky above and homes in the distance. We only stayed one night, but it felt as if we had been there for a long time.
The room itself was beautiful too, with thoughtful touches hidden in every corner. The interplay of light and shadow on the window lattices, the grain of the wood – every casual shot captured a perfect scene. But these qualities, ultimately, are about the house.
What truly captivates you here are the people.
The landlady, a native Dong, was born and raised there, exuding a vibrant energy gifted by the land itself. She led us through small alleys not found on any map, where the stone paths were smoothed by time, and wooden houses on either side revealed cooking smoke and clothes drying. She told us which corners had the best light, and in front of which old window lattice we could capture a unique view of the Wind-Rain Bridge – those places without road signs are the true veins of the village.
When she had free time, she chatted with us, telling us about working in other provinces when she was young, and how she returned when the road reached her doorstep – preferring to work in her own village, be close to her elders and children, living a steady life. She also talked about swimming in the river in winter, and her eyes sparkled when she spoke of it. It wasn't boasting, but the kind of radiance you see in someone who truly lives life to the fullest.
We only spent a day together, but I still remember her way of speaking very clearly.
She also helped us arrange for a driver to take us to see the sunrise the next day, meticulously instructing us on the time and location, as if she were organizing something for her own relatives. The next morning, as the first light broke, standing on the mountain and watching the golden light gradually paint the village, my heart swelled with much more than just the beauty of the scenery.
Coincidentally, we had just visited the Long March exhibition the day before. The stories of crossing mountains and rivers, enduring snow and wind, still weighed heavily on my mind. Hearing the landlady laughingly say, “Now every village has concrete roads,” in that moment, history suddenly transformed from text in a glass case into the roads beneath my feet, the people before my eyes, and the ordinary life within reach. I have never so genuinely felt that some roads, traveled for nearly a century, have finally reached the doorsteps of ordinary homes.
There was also a little sister, running back and forth, helping us with our luggage and making reservations. Her smile was shy and sweet, like a ray of light peeking through the morning mist.
We only stayed one night. But in that one night, this guesthouse gave me a memory with warmth. As I left, I wondered how long a trip could be remembered, and perhaps it doesn't depend on how many days you stayed, but on who you met.
If you come to Zhaoxing, I hope you stay here. Sit on the balcony and feel the mountain breeze, walk those nameless paths with the landlady, and you'll discover that the drum tower is beautiful, the flower bridge is beautiful, but the most beautiful things are the people and the moments you finally slow down and get close to.
Thank you, big sister. We will definitely be back.
