Longji Terraces Far and Near B&B (Ping'anzhai)

The views from the guesthouse are incredible, and you can enjoy the sunrise from their private rooftop without any crowds. We also had our meals right there. The owner will pick you up at the village entrance once you arrive by shuttle bus. I highly recommend staying in Ping'an Village; you get both stunning night views and beautiful sunrises, and the hike up isn't too strenuous. The homes in this village are quite concentrated, unlike Dazhai where they are more spread out. The local Zhuang people are incredibly warm and welcoming. One evening, while I was wandering around the village, villagers were so concerned I might get lost finding my way back to the guesthouse that I literally had someone offering directions on almost every street! I've also included the shuttle bus schedule for Ping'an Village. You'll need to take this bus first if you're heading to Dazhai or Guilin. Just ask the driver when you board, and they'll help arrange your transfers.

My stay at Longji Rice Terraces was absolutely wonderful! Upon arrival, the owner immediately offered to help us with our luggage, carrying it all the way up the hill despite the climb. He was incredibly welcoming and enthusiastic. When it rained, the proprietress herself came down with umbrellas to pick us up – a truly heartwarming gesture. The room was spotless, and the view from the window was absolutely stunning. We not only enjoyed a comfortable stay here but also felt the warmth of a home away from home. Next time I visit Longji Rice Terraces, I'll definitely choose this place again!

The owner was incredibly welcoming and hospitable, and the service was truly exceptional. I was traveling with large suitcases, and the owner personally helped me carry them all the way to my room, and did the same upon my departure. They even offered complimentary pick-up and drop-off service, which was incredibly thoughtful. It truly felt like a home away from home. My only regret is that this trip was a bit rushed; I will definitely stay here again when I have more time to explore!
