Jinzhu Hostel

The hotel's location is quite catchy, but it requires a 20-minute climb to reach, and there aren't any nearby restaurants. The receptionists are very nice, but the rooms have too many bugs and spiders, which is expected given the remote location. If you want to explore the scenic spots, be prepared to move around as they're far from the hotel, and there are limited buses with specific timings. The staff prepares good breakfast and takes good care of guests. For dinner, it's best to order ahead, though the food quality is good, the options are a bit limited.

LOCATION: Trip.com showed this stay as very close to the cable-car (Jinkeng terrace). That was the main reason for us to choose this place. But, on arrival, we found that this accommodation is about ~19 km far from the cable car station. So, it was an accidental choice for us. Nevertheless, this gave us an opportunity to enjoy this stay – free from hustle-bustle, no regrets. We realized the serenity of this place after visiting Dazhai! 😊 TRAVEL: Foreigners with family and kids. We traveled to the Longji Terraces from Yangshuo by 13:30 bus. It took us about 4 hours. Although we booked the ticket to Dazhai (last stop), we got off the bus at the Jinzhu intersection. The driver knows the hotel and its staff. I did reach out to Ms. Liao Yanzhen (aka Jane) through WeChat (same number as in Trip.com) before starting the journey. She informed the bus driver about us & it helped us a lot. ACCOMMODATION: It is located uphill from the Jinzhu intersection – about 15-minute walk. Since we had luggage, Ms. Jane arranged for a car to carry all our luggage to/from the stay. ROOM: Spacious, clean, and well-maintained. Depending on the room type, a balcony view helps. I had the valley view, which was very nice early in the morning. The room is built on a treehouse concept with modern bath and restroom facilities. It had a kettle, WiFi, etc., all that comes with a standard reservation. FOOD: Received the menu available and the price per item through WeChat. The common dining area is spacious. Food portions were large and tasty! For the hotel location, the cost is reasonable. STAFF: All are very friendly and do their best to make your stay comfortable. We managed all our interactions through the translator app. They surprised the kids with popcorn! During our stay, we played cards after dinner for a few hours in the common area, and the staff were kind enough to help us with table and chairs. Also, on the last day, they showed us their traditional way of preparing food and the ingredients. ONLY SUGGESTION to the hotel: please address the door noise. It is too loud and annoying for occupants as well as neighbors.

The hotel's hospitality was exceptional. We ate delicious dinner and breakfast cooked by them. The staff members were friendly and helpful. They held a programme for children where they taught them how to make rice cakes. The hotel is situated in a calm and pleasant environment. The amenities provided in the rooms were excellent.

The staff, location, restaurant, and accommodation facilities were all wonderful. The butler and the housekeeper both reached out to me before I arrived and each added me on WeChat. I do not speak Chinese, and I was traveling alone, and they were very solicitous and helpful. The view from my room was beautiful, and I loved the design of my house. I do not have a car, so to go to the Ping’an terraces required walking about 10-minutes down to the main road, hopping on a local bus (¥15) and then riding about 20 minutes. It’s fun to spend a day at the rice terraces village, but for a lovely, peaceful, and unique accommodation I absolutely recommend this homestay.

Wow is all I can say. Less of a hotel stay and more of a unique cultural experience. Virtually everything you eat or drink here was raised / grown / prepared on site. All the rooms are unique, all furniture built and buildings designed by local laborers. Everything produced by the

第三次來這裏了，大山深處一個宛若瑞士小鎮的寨子：屋舍林立，層層疊疊，鮮花初放，嬌嬌俏俏。無論是清晨雲海環繞山頭隱隱約約還是傍晚霞光夕照粉粉嫩嫩亦或是夜晚繁星滿天旖旖旎旎，這裏都帶給人一種寧靜祥和的感覺：兩耳不聞塵世事，衹緣身在此寨中；早上可以沿着石板路上上下下，一邊欣賞四周的美景一邊悠哉悠哉散散步，還可以去山間茶室喝上一杯好茶；下午繼續登高，到頂處的涼亭坐上一坐，俯瞰整個村寨，然後向著羣山喊出內心的詩與遠方；晚上向著漫天繁星許下一個心願（心火向星辰，所願皆成真）。在這裏，你可以完全放空，隨心隨性隨意地過幾天田園生活，感歎一下世外桃源是真實存在的。

位於龍脊梯田金竹寨，整棟純木質結構吊腳樓，迴歸大自然。停車場至酒店要步行約幾十米，對於帶大件重行李的遊客來説稍顯不便，好在老闆會幫助拿行李。説是民宿，其實配置很好，智能馬桶，品牌洗漱用品，老闆和服務人員服務熱情周到。早晨起來，站在二層露台上遠眺寨子，濛濛細雨中薄霧繚繞，宛如仙境。沿着鄉間小路信步所之，令人沈醉。吃罷鄉土氣息的早餐，欣賞瑤族人家的打籽粑，再親手試上一試，吃起來格外香甜。

房間乾淨整潔，環境優美，景色很好，服務熱情周到，停車很方便，距離民宿也不遠。去梯田景區也不遠，開車上去也方便，推薦。

包了一幢，推開窗就是秀美的風景，貴的值。管家負責扛行李🧳，貼心服務，還熱心介紹遊玩景點，真的很棒。
