Romantic Hotels in Longsheng

The experience at Qing Shan Yi Hao Longji Courtyard exceeded our expectations! The 270° panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning, direct views of the entire Jinkeng Rice Terraces. The room was clean and comfortable, equipped with a smart toilet and a refrigerator. There's also a gentle and friendly dog named 'Ah Huang' at the hotel who even thoughtfully leads the way. The owner is incredibly genuine and enthusiastic, and even gave us rice wine as a souvenir when we left, which was a really thoughtful gesture. The location is excellent for sightseeing. I highly recommend this guesthouse for anyone visiting the Longji Rice Terraces!

Absolutely brilliant! The hostess is super kind and responsive. Upon check-in she upgraded us to 180°-view room. The view from the balcony is amazing - the entire panorama just for us. Booking the room itself is worth it. The room and the bathroom are spacious and spotless. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The bamboo rice, the braised tofu and bamboo shoots were very tasty. We can share only our superlatives.

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.

I came here with the expectation of revisiting the old place, and now I left with satisfaction. The weather was good, and we had both sunrise and mirror. Located at the highest observation deck, it is estimated that only the No. 1 observation deck can best appreciate the beauty of the mirror, because only here has sufficient water in the past few days, and there is no water release on the No. 2 side. The panoramic building is worthy of the panoramic view. The facilities are not bad, the bedding is very comfortable, the food is also good, and the luggage is sent up and down the mountain by a special person. Although the altitude is about 1,200 meters, it is easy to get up, and the boss is easy to get along with. Finally, a small suggestion, the shampoo is relatively dry, it is recommended to add conditioner as an option.

The room is OK, the scenery on the balcony is really beautiful, the terraces that are illuminated by the sun in the morning are stunned; the proprietress cooks also delicious, the hotel does not include breakfast, but the proprietress arranges exquisite breakfast for us, it feels very warm! Highly recommended!

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.
