Romantic Hotels in Longsheng

The B&B's location is fantastic, offering breathtaking views directly overlooking the terraced fields – truly picturesque! You can tell the owner has put a lot of thought into it. You can drive quite close to the B&B, and they'll help you with your luggage up a short flight of steps. The B&B's car provides transfers to the cable car station (for viewing platform 3 and Jinfo Peak). Viewing platform 2 is just opposite; they'll drop you at the foot of the mountain, and it's a 15-25 minute climb to viewing platform 2 (the Thousand-Layer Heavenly Ladders). We had dinner on the first day and lunch on the second day at the B&B, and the food was delicious, especially the egg-fried rice, which had that wonderful 'wok hei' flavor. They served complimentary rice wine with every meal, which was sweet and had a very low alcohol content. The B&B also offers coffee and other beverages. They even gifted us two bottles of rice wine at the end! We booked two rooms; this particular room faced the terraced fields directly and had a balcony. You can also try catching fish in the rice paddies, which was a lot of fun.

The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the rice terraces. They even help with luggage transfer, which is a very thoughtful service. The room is very clean and comes with a super large balcony. You can see vast rice terraces as soon as you step out onto the balcony, and the view is absolutely stunning! My family loved it and felt very comfortable staying here! We'd definitely come back again if we have the chance.

A hotel in Longsheng – an unforgettable view of the rice terraces. 🌾 Dates of stay: March 2026 Room type: Double with panoramic view We stayed in the village of Dazhai, in a hotel right next to the rice terraces. And it was the best decision of the entire trip. Out the window, you can see endless steps of terraces that descend into the mountains. In the morning, you wake up, open the curtains, and before you is mist creeping down the slopes, and somewhere below, the village is already waking up. This isn't just a room; it's a view you'll want to take pictures of every five minutes. It's not yet the high season (we were there in March), so there were almost no tourists. It was quiet, just the birds and the sound of the wind. Some of the terraces above were already flooded, and when the sun came out, the water sparkled so brightly it was breathtaking. The hosts were very hospitable. They picked us up from the bus stop and helped us with our luggage. The room was clean, with hot water—everything you need after a long day with varying weather. In the evening, we sat in the hotel restaurant, ordering local dishes. In the morning, we were served breakfast with local noodles. Main life hack: get a room with a view of the terraces. The price difference is small, but the experience is much more powerful. Even if it's raining (and we had a downpour with thunderstorms), sitting under a blanket and watching the fog cover the mountains is a special pleasure. The observation decks are easily accessible from here. We hiked up the ”Thousand Steps” (about 20 minutes) and took the lift to the ”Buddha Gate”—the views from there are incredible, especially when the water begins to shimmer in the sun. If you want to see the terraces in their true, living beauty, rather than in the crowds, come in March or April. And be sure to stay here. Here you feel not like a tourist, but a guest in the mountains.

Excellent location , in the Dazhai village center, easy 7 minute walk to the Dazhai parking lot for the cable car and the local buses to Ping'an and long hair show village (forgot the name). You can also walk to three observation platforms from the foothill to hilltop. Room: spacious, clean, with all the amenities as described. Hosts: a young couple with kids and mother, nice, welcoming people. Although they do not speak English, you can easily communicate via WeChat. They helped me with booking a bus to Guilin. The hotel is recommended for nice views and local village experience. I would like to have a menu, as well as a sketch map of the area with observation platforms, villages, hiking routes in English. Information on local events and local but routes/ schedules would also be helpful for non-Chinese tourists.

What truly stood out was the balcony and the breathtaking views from it; you can see vast rice terraces right from your room. The guesthouse is tucked away deep inside the village, making it a wonderfully peaceful and quiet spot. The owner is very accommodating; if they're available, they'll drive down to pick you up from the foot of the mountain, and for the return journey, an uncle will give you a ride back down on his motorbike. Do be prepared for mosquitoes and insects, as they are common in the mountains and might even get into your room. The guesthouse is conveniently located between two main viewpoints: it's a 15-minute walk to 'Thousand-Layer Terraces' and 20 minutes to 'Xishan Shaole'. I went to 'Thousand-Layer Terraces' every day to enjoy the scenery. Getting to 'Jinfoding Peak', however, requires careful navigation. I believe I missed an unmarked shortcut, which resulted in a much longer trek. It took me about an hour and a half of combined uphill and downhill hiking to reach 'Jinfoding Peak'. Even if I had found the shortcut, I estimate it would still take over an hour. The locals at the guesthouse claimed it only takes 40 minutes, but I suspect that's because they're familiar with the shortcuts and are in excellent physical condition. For anyone who isn't very fit, my strong advice is to take the cable car directly from the Dazhai car park to 'Jinfoding Peak' on your first day, explore it thoroughly, and then head down to the guesthouse.

The guesthouse is located in Tiantouzhai, just a short walk from the viewing platform, which I personally feel is the best of the several viewing platforms, probably the second highest, but best for watching the sunrise and panoramic views. If you're lucky (good weather, and at the beginning or end of the ***** month), you can see a sky full of stars from the hotel's terrace at night, but you'll have to wait until later, after most of the surrounding lights have been turned off. The overall atmosphere is very soothing, perfect for relaxing after several days of travel. The service is excellent, and the owner's wife is a very good cook, quite rare, catering to a wide range of tastes. The guesthouse can book tickets back to Guilin, and the owner was very hospitable when we left, helping us get to the bus stop at the scenic area entrance.

The room was clean and tidy, the mattress and blankets were comfortable and warm, and the shower water was hot and plentiful. Standing on the balcony, you could see the entire rice terrace area, and they even provided a tripod for recording the sunrise – a rare find! The lovely landlady was warm and thoughtful, preparing ginger tea to warm everyone up, and serving local rice wine during the meal – fragrant and smooth. She also provided a basket of ethnic costumes, which we all enjoyed taking photos of. Furthermore, the hotel's public areas were exceptionally large; besides places to drink tea, read, or relax, there were even tables and ping-pong tables!

The inn is 100 meters next to the observation deck No. 1 of Jinkeng Dazhai Scenic Area. The room is large and well equipped. Standing on the balcony, you can see the terraces, which is very beautiful. The boss is very enthusiastic, free breakfast, delicious rice noodles. I really like this hotel and will choose to stay in the future.

Live near the No. 3 Observation Deck, with great views and convenient transportation. The owner and his family are very hospitable and gave us rice wine and royal bee wine, which were delicious.

This folk hotel is truly amazing! The scenery is pure countryside, and the food is all authentic farm fruits, vegetables, chicken, duck, beef, and mutton, all free-range and pollution-free, sourced from local farmers. The staff are friendly and attentive. The B&B is spacious and clean. It's probably the best B&B within a ten-mile radius. The rooms are even more comfortable than expected, with Haofa suites, family rooms, and standard rooms available to meet all needs.
