TTuan Ying GohHad such a pleasant and memorable experience at this inn. The boss, Mr Yu, is super down to earth and sincere. He cooked super well too - taste is just nice, not too oily or salty. And all his ingredients are fresh from his farm, even the chickens and fishes. What a farm-to-table experience. As it is the low peak season now, he could sit down and have good chats with us.
The room is huge, with an unblock mountain view. It’s also near to viewing point 2. There’s this cute inn dog who is so loyal.
The room is well kept, with a balcony for you to sit and sip wine or tea. Note that there are insects because we are by the mountains but you could bring your own repellent. We slept well here.
The driver, Mr Yang, who drove us up Long Ji also stayed at this inn. We asked that he drives us around for the three days we are here and send us back to Guilin city. His driving skill is very stable and he’s very well-versed with the mountain roads (as he’s a local).
What can I say, this experience is simply too memorable. Human relationships forged is the magical part of travel. Would highly recommend you to come experience this inn for yourself (of course during the peak season, the boss might not have time to sit down for a chat).
在这民宿住了三天两晚,也是我们会记很久的回忆。余老板人很善良,也烧了一手好菜。食材都是新鲜的。房间搭理地很干净,我们住的很舒服。床是大床,阳台也很大。我们两个在那儿早上做瑜伽,听鸟叫声,简直太舒服了。看看老板烧菜,和嘟嘟(狗狗)玩,再和它去观景台看看。看杨师傅煮竹筒饭,煮笋,山上生活好惬意呀。这个人情味,回味无穷。
ゲゲストAll in all an extremely pleasant stay! The location is absolutely stunning. Sure, it might be a little bit off the beaten track, but the views are all the more rewarding and the hiking path from Dazhai is also highly recommended.
The hotel lobby also functions as a big living room and a little restaurant run by the owners. The food is excellent and well priced (definitely try their rice wine!). Because we were there in winter and it was cold, the owners even put a small radiator under our table to make it comfortable.
Generally, the owners were super nice and friendly and adding their absolutely adorable puppy, we almost couldn't bring ourselves to leave.
The rooms were very clean, have a small separate bathroom and we had a small balcony with view over the rice terraces. For a more budget option there is also rooms without AC or view, in that case you can still enjoy quite a bit of the scenery from the living room downstairs or just by exploring the surroundings on foot. (The picture is shot from our balcony, but sadly some of the view was obscured by the winter mist.)
We will definitely try to come again sometime in summer and are already excited thinking about staying in this hotel again.
ゲゲスト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.
ゲゲストmy friend and i arrived at the hotel pretty late and we were greeted so nicely and got to order some warm soup (the portions are huge, so you’ll never be hungry!) before being kindly escorted to our room. we also got a free upgrade and got to have a better view to the mountains. i believe it is a family business and every woman working there made us feel at home and safe. the food is absolutely delicious and the prices are great. it is very comfortable to be staying at a hotel up in the hills and to just go downstairs and have the greatest meal ever. we recommend trying the salty fish with eggplants and the fried rice, as they were our favourites. the rooms themselves were very warmly decorated and they have air conditioning, as well as wifi. we also had some laundry to wash and everything got taken care of. we got to have barbecue with some of the other guests that stayed there and once our last day arrived they all helped us book a bus ticket to yangshuo and drove us to the bus station the next day. our experience there was so wholesome and we would recommend to everyone visiting this nice family and try their absolutely amazing food :D
