The hotel staff was very helpful and helped us organise the visit to Fanjingshan as well as buying the tickets, which is not particularly easy if you are not Chinese. They also helped us organise transport from fenghuang and to Tongren. The lady at the front desk was specially friendly and helpful and made our experience that more enjoyable.
SSoh Kien PengI like fast chain hotels in China like Hanting, 7-day Inn, Home Inn, etc. They are not the luxurious type of 5-star hotels, but they give travelers the assurance that their basic amenities and room facilities are modern and clean. I booked this Hanting hotel via Trip.com before arriving at Libo.
Initially, I booked one hotel near the East Gate of Xiaoqikong but decided to change to Hanting at the Ancient Town but I was worried that the hotel near the attraction may not meet my criteria of cleanliness and modernity. As expected, Hanting Hotel room was clean and the toilet facilities modern.
The hotel provided guest with free coffee and tea and upon arrival, the counter staff made a cup of coffee for my wife, and I had a cup of tea. Beside the counter, there are an automatic washing machine and a dryer and my wife came down at night to wash our clothing. There are many eateries within proximity from the hotel. We had bone broth noodles and minced meat noodles at one Do-Do shop near to the coach station and at dinner, we went to another nearby stall for some Hokkein wanton noodles and century egg porridge.
The public transportation is also very convenient and accessible. Bus no 10 and 11 ply in front of the hotel. We took Bus 11 to the famous 7-arch bridge (RM7) while bus no. 10 bring us to Libo high speed train station (RM5) in about 45 mins. At night, we visited the Libo Ancient Town which is a short distance walk away. The following morning, I took bus 11 to Xiaoqikong scenic attraction.
The staff are also very helpful and courteous and gave guidance on the place to eat and how to explore the Xiaoqikong scenic attractions.
We will come again.
ゲゲストI would highly recommend this homestay for anyone looking for an authentic and peaceful experience of Miao culture and village life. Particularly compared to nearby Langde village, this village (Nanhua village) is much less commercialised with friendly locals and relaxing scenery. The bedroom was very comfortable, although I will note that the toilet was a squat toilet (not an issue for me but maybe for others).
The boss was very enthusiastic and helped me organise transport around the area as I didn't have a car, and I was even able to share a homecooked meal with his family and some locals.
LLeng Sheng HongThe location is perfect right behind the tourist center. Few minutes walk will bring you to the ticket counter where you can have a nice tour around Wanfenglin. Rooms are clean, bedding is comfy, environment is serene. I love to wake up with the mountain and flower view in end of January. Will definitely comeback in another season of the year
