Longsheng Hotels with Bars

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. 

Before departure, I chose it for a long time. After I came, I really recommend this homestay. The location of the homestay is in a place on the top of the mountain. The boss is very good. I will pick up and drop off to the store as soon as I arrive. The homestay is in a higher place. The view is very good, whether it is a corridor or a room, it is very bright. The room is also very large, the living is very comfortable, the restaurant inside is eaten at night, the taste is very good, and the scenery is also very good to enjoy, the boss, the proprietress also sent their own rice wine, really delicious 👍 just happened to meet the local important (clothes drying festival) Fortunately, you can see fireworks in the room 🎆, the second is going home, the boss also sent 2 rice wine home to drink 🥰 If you have a chance, you will come again!

The experience exceeded expectations, the boss upgraded the duplex, the children especially like it, and always said that it was the best room I have ever stayed in. The room was very clean, especially the sanitary ware was the same as the brand new, there was no water stains and scale, and almost no sanitary corners were seen. The homestay itself is also very beautiful, very close to the Golden Buddhading Observation Deck, you can easily see the sunrise. The terraces in October are so beautiful, this experience is really great!

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly helpful with everything from guiding us on how to get there to assisting with booking our bus tickets. They were always friendly and very supportive. The food was also excellent. We tried several local dishes and everything we had was truly delicious. Our room had a beautiful view, and everything was thoughtfully arranged and very comfortable. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the Longji Rice Terraces. Thank you to the team for making our stay so smooth and enjoyable.

Nestled in the mountains, the hotel boasts excellent air quality and panoramic mountain views, perfect for relaxation. I tried out all the chairs in the common area, reading, drinking tea, and simply daydreaming. The surrounding area isn't a tourist destination, so an afternoon stroll along the mountain paths offered a charmingly rustic experience, with swaying reeds, wildflowers, wild berries, free-range chickens, and a watchdog... The rooms were tastefully furnished, clean, and tidy. The breakfast was clean and delicious; the fried rice with chili sauce was especially tasty. The chef's skills were excellent. The next morning, we visited the home of a local Yao ethnic minority family. The elderly couple were very welcoming, chatting around a fire and even experiencing spinning on a stone mill.

The location is great, just a seven or eight-minute walk from the Ping'anzhai observation deck. The scenery is absolutely stunning, surrounded by mountains. Opening the balcony door from your room feels like you're living in the clouds. We went during the off-season, so there weren't many people. The guesthouse has a traditional Chinese architectural style, all solid wood, and the materials used are very substantial. The only downside is that you have to park in a designated parking lot quite far from the hotel, pay a high parking fee, and then buy an electric cart ticket to get up there. You can clearly drive up yourself, which I found very confusing and inconvenient.

This was a truly satisfying trip. Longji is absolutely stunning, and the guesthouse was fantastic! The floor-to-ceiling windows offered breathtaking direct views of the terraced fields; just enjoying the scenery from the comfort of my room was a highlight in itself. The owner's family was incredibly warm and hospitable, and their local specialties were delicious. If I had more time, I would definitely stay for several more days.

The food here is a major highlight, consistently praised by guests. The owner personally prepares a variety of Yao ethnic dishes, including bamboo-cooked chicken, cured meats, and wild vegetables, all receiving rave reviews. The lotus fish, in particular, is an absolute must-try, repeatedly complimented for its 'fresh and sweet' flavor. Additionally, the owner's homemade glutinous rice wine and oil tea are incredibly fragrant, allowing guests to savor the most authentic mountain flavors during their trip.

The boss is so kind! Enthusiasm and kindness! , Because I took my wheelchair with my dad, I went to Longji facing the ramp and immediately went in a circle. After contacting the boss, he helped with luggage and the wheelchair. I am very grateful to the boss, Brother Liao, for his help. Another objective compliment is that Liqing’s location is better. The room has an invincible terraced field view, which allows people to get a glimpse of the terraced fields from the moment they enter the room, watching the clouds and mist, and the relative price is really super cost-effective! share! Thanks!

The guesthouse lobby offers a direct view of the rice terraces. In the evening, you can enjoy a meal in the ground-floor lobby, gazing at the illuminated terraces. It's truly a delightful experience. The owner is a fantastic cook, and his meals are incredibly delicious. I highly recommend the bamboo chicken, which is a favorite for both adults and children!
