Longba Manor

As previously reviewed, this place is accessible by car and is suitable for a leisurely trip. There's a tea plantation where you can experience tea making yourself, which is quite interesting. The air is fresh, and the starry sky is beautiful.

The scenery is absolutely stunning; you can see the sea of ​​clouds extending to the entire mountain range from your room… the air is incredibly fresh… even the shower water is mountain spring water… it's perfect for a short stay… a true cleansing experience for both body and soul.

The hotel environment is really nice, and the scenery is absolutely stunning! Located on a tea mountain, if you're not in a rush, you could stay a few more days to see the tea picking and processing. It's a great place, just be careful driving on the rugged mountain roads. The owner is also very welcoming.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sea of ​​clouds this season. We did see the sun. The sunrise here is quite late, around 7 AM. The room size was okay, but it gets very cold on the mountain at night. There's no air conditioning, but there are electric blankets and heaters. The facilities looked a bit old, but it was very quiet and peaceful, like village life. The owners had gone back to their village at the foot of the mountain, and a local family of three was staying at the manor. The man was very hospitable and kind. When we arrived, it was already late at night, and the mountain road was difficult to walk. He came down the mountain to pick us up because we hadn't eaten anything and were very hungry. The facilities around the mountaintop weren't very complete, so we had a quick meal and bought some things at the foot of the mountain. The man waited for us the whole time. We wanted to see the sunrise the next morning, but because we didn't know the sun rose so late here, we got up early and didn't know the way. We called the man around 6 AM to ask for directions, feeling bad for bothering him. He called us again later to say that he had checked the weather forecast and the sun wouldn't rise until after 7 AM, and it would be very cold outside. We went back to the manor, and he got up and made us tea, which was from the manor's own tea plantation. We were lucky enough to taste some delicious Pu'er tea. We chatted with the older brother for a while, and when we returned, he said we'd have rice noodles for breakfast. He cooked them first and would call us when they were ready. The rice noodles were delicious, but I forgot to take a picture. What a lovely family! The child was innocent and charming, the older brother was kind and simple, and his wife was quietly and virtuous, tending the vegetable garden and watering the flowers in the manor courtyard. Simple happiness~ We were going to visit the Tea Tree King. He carefully gave us directions and saw us off with his child in his arms. We felt like guests. May the older brother and his family be healthy and happy~ That's what travel is like, isn't it? There will be regrets, but also surprises and warmth~ Finally, the owners, the manor's facilities really need updating. Hotels and manors are so competitive these days. The manor is on a mountaintop, overlooking Nannuo Mountain. Although driving up is a bit roundabout, the road is still quite good to drive on now~

Located almost at the highest point of Nannuo Mountain, it offers a panoramic view and the chance to see a sea of ​​clouds (depending on luck). The owner has 500-year-old tea trees and will guide you around various areas (including a side path to see the "King of Tea Trees"), or you can explore on your own. Fruit and tea are all-you-can-eat, and the owner is very hospitable and runs the business with integrity. The only inconvenience is getting in and out; it's best to drive yourself.

Longba Manor is very unique, with beautiful scenery, especially the balconies of the rooms facing the mountains, often shrouded in mist, creating a truly picturesque atmosphere. The owner is incredibly kind, and the owner's wife makes excellent Pu'er tea!
