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!

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!

The hotel is in a quiet location close to the main street. The owner is warm and considerate. The wooden structure is very unique and the price is high. Recommended to stay

Monika - SlovenskoFantastic stay at Bula Lakeside Hotel! Clean room with amazing lake view at the beginning of Zhaoxing Dong village. Hot water and heating worked without any problems. WIFI also worked. I would like to thank the staff the most - the girl at the reception who we communicated with via WeChat and a translator. We are foreigners who don't speak Chinese and she didn't speak English, but we managed everything. Also the gentleman who came to the train station to pick us up to make our way to the hotel easier. We also appreciate his cooking skills as he prepared a perfect dinner for us. I absolutely recommend this hotel and if we ever come back, we will stay here again. Thank you again for the nice 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).

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.
