2-Star 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. 

國慶節的後兩天，看到價格實惠了，來了一個錯峯出行，帶一家人來龍勝温泉這裏度了兩天一晚的假，感覺真的很超值，家人個個都很滿意，除了温泉停車場🅿️車子需要稍微排一下隊就進去，一路上沒有堵過車，交通比較暢通，比我想象的要好很多，説一下這次出行的亮點分享一下吧！ 1.首先説一下入住的酒店吧，本來是打算中心温泉酒店的，算了下價格，最終還是選擇了這家民宿，主要是中心温泉的房間確實有些年限了，也是第二次住這家民宿了，這個民宿條件比較好，窗外就是遠山和寨樓，視野開闊，而且房價是含有瑤家的特色油茶早餐的，吃了確實挺好的，老闆一家人依舊很熱情，一樓有茶桌一起喝茶聊天，晚上他們帶自己孩子去門口水塘夾泥鰍，我們家的孩子也蹭着一起去了，別提多開心了，一個非常難得的體驗，當天下午老闆幫我們訂了中心温泉的🎫，第二天老闆幫我們訂了布尼梯田的纜車及門票，晚上和第二天中午在他們家吃了兩餐飯，第一餐是土雞湯、自己家的臘肉，自己種的菜花及糯米酒，簡簡單單的就非常美味，主要是食材好，特別是他們家的糯米酒，完全沒有度數的，我們的兩個孩子幹掉了一可樂瓶，第二餐專門和老闆訂了牛肉牛骨，農村的趕山🐄又不打水，牛骨湯隨隨便便燙牛肉和自己種的青菜就非常好吃了👍👍👍 2.中心温泉泡的人也不是很多，可能是池子比較多吧，我們在38℃的池子裏一直泡了很久，温泉♨️的水温很舒服，但是離開水後就非常冷，一定要裹好浴巾，不然容易感冒！孩子們特別喜歡親水，要不是要吃晚飯了，泡了3個小時還不想回去呢！ 3.第二天上午去了布尼梯田和梯田邊的神龜瀑布，布尼梯田規模沒有平安的大，但是好在有上下🚡，輕鬆了很多，而且人也不多，拍照的話不會拍着一堆的人，剛剛好稻穀金黃，我們都覺得也挺好看的，神龜瀑布需要步行，是一個小點的山間小瀑布，噴出水霧，因為有個石頭象龜背，故命名。 總結一下：住的乾淨衞生，安靜且空氣清新，吃的原生態有瑤家特色，泡了温泉♨️看了瀑布，體驗了農家樂，非常棒棒噠一次超性價比假期🤗🤗🤗

It's a bit far from the foot of the mountain, but the owner's family helped carry my luggage, which was a lifesaver because I definitely couldn't have managed it alone. The room was super spacious and incredibly comfortable; I had a fantastic one-night stay! The whole family was wonderful. When I ordered food, the grandma even poured me a cup of her homemade rice wine, which was delicious! The next day, the owner also helped arrange a shared ride for me. The only thing to be aware of is that there are a lot of bugs in the mountains! They'll fly in if you leave the balcony light on, so don't open the balcony door casually at night~

Beautiful. The hosts are very kind and came to pick us up in the small streets of the village. They also showed us the route for the panoramic view.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay here. I went out of season, so I was the one of the only guests for two days, this made if even more special. if you travel during rainy season make sure to have rainboots and rain proof coats etc. The nights and mornings can get very cold so prepare warm clothes. The family helped me from booking a local shuttle bus from Yangshuo to arrive and departing and also picked me up on my day of arrival from the park entrance. The Homestay is quite far up the hills, not very easy to find you need to carpool or ask owners to help with scooter ride, but the views and people make it all the worthwhile. It is close to many hiking trails and view points. The family welcomed me with so much love the room was exactly as it said. Their food and pricing is also very affordable. They family is of the local ethnicity and they gave me an up-close view in their lives and their traditional ways. I tasted their rice wine, chilli paste , traditional tea and bamboo rice and many other delicious foods. The owners and family are very helpful and if you have any questions, or want to know more of need to get to a certain part of the area they are happy to help. This family and their black dog filled my heart with so much love and gratitude. Note for for foreign travelers: They don't speak English, but do not let this scare you if you are a foreigner, translator apps are helpful if you can't understand the language. Overall, I highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful, tranquil and family-like feeling enjoy the outdoors and nature. I will definitely be going back!

We loved our stay here. Extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming host. Helped us organise shared transport to the hotel from Guilin West Railway Station for 80 yuan each. We hiked from Ping’an to Dazhai and she organised our collection in Dazhai and subsequent transport to Guilin, including luggage transfer. This also cost 80 yuan each but the price depends on the season. Clean, spacious rooms and the free fresh fruit was a nice touch. The host is also a great chef and made us both dinner and breakfast, the latter costing 18 yuan for two. Great location within Ping’an, halfway between the two famous Ping’an viewpoints - you can walk to one (about 20 minutes) then follow a mountain trail to the other (40 minutes between the two). Based on our hike to Dazhai, staying in Ping’an felt like the right decision as it seemed a little quieter and more authentic to us.

This is the second time I have come to Longji. I lived on the edge of the Five Tigers in Kowloon last time. I didn’t climb to the mountain much. However, that one is a mountain view, that is, the room does not have terraces. Therefore, this time I want to say that I will try it in Ping'an Village. This should be an old hotel, but the sanitary landscape is first-class. Although unlike the Kowloon Five Tigers, you can take the shuttle bus to the hotel entrance, but this one will only take two minutes to get off the bus. The hotel’s food is cooked by the proprietress. The hotel’s pick-up service is the boss’s own responsibility. The bed linen and bath towels are very clean and the water is very hot. The large balcony is even more direct to the terraces, the price is super high, it is recommended. Figure 1 and 2 are taken from the balcony, super beautiful. . By the way, there are many shops on the Kowloon Five Tigers that borrow folk costumes, a set of 20 yuan, really, come here, it is still very good to borrow a set of photos.

The owner's new shop deserves a five-star review! 1. Panoramic balcony: Opening the balcony door leads directly to the Nine Dragons and Five Tigers viewing platform, offering direct views of the sunrise and even at night when the lights are on. 2. Panoramic hotel: Two walls of glass, very beautiful. 3. The hotel is very new; our room felt like the first time we'd ever stayed there. The owner's location is also quite high, offering superb views. 4. During the October 1st holiday, we mainly visited Ping'an Village. There was no traffic congestion, and the crowds were manageable, except for the intense sun and the somewhat arduous climb up the rice terraces. 5. The passion fruit the owner gave us was also delicious.

The name of the hostel is One Family, and that is exactly what you will get here, since the second day I found myself sitting at the table with the whole family running the place feeling sort of part of this family. On top of that, the owner is part of the local minority living in Ping'ancun, so culturally it doesn't get more authentic than this! But what I truly want to stress is the kindness and helpfulness of the owner's son (whose name I unfortunately have forgotten). He gave me a lot of interesting insights about the history and culture of Ping'ancun, which was truly fascinating. In addition, he gave me advice about my travels, and, ultimately, I would follow his tips seeing some of the most outstanding places in China. So, if you need info and tips about a China travel itinerary, you are also at a good place here. Lastly, the room was like being in a hut on top of a mountain. Surely not as luxurious as other hotels in the area, yet again if you look for something authentic, go here.

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! ! !
