Yuanyang Green Hostel & Sunny Guesthouse

Hoewel de locatie van de herberg zeer goed is, met uitzicht op de terrasvormige velden, bevindt deze zich ongeveer 100 meter in een rechte lijn onder het schilderachtige observatiedek. De weg van de parkeerplaats naar de herberg is een paar minuten lang. Hij is smal en moet door een kleine vijver vol algen. De weg is niet vlak. Voor backpackers is het geen groot probleem, maar het slepen van een koffer wel best moeilijk. Als u kinderen meeneemt, moet u speciale aandacht besteden aan de veiligheid. De faciliteiten van de hele herberg zijn ruw en brengen veiligheidsrisico's met zich mee. Het is een structuur van baksteen en hout, maar de kamer is slecht verlicht en overal zijn blootliggende draden te zien. De faciliteiten in de kamer zijn armoedig, het bed en het dekbed zijn dun en een beetje vochtig. In de winter heb je een elektrische deken nodig om de kou buiten te houden en er is geen airconditioning. Zelfs het uitkijkplatform is gevuld met gedemonteerde bouwmaterialen en gereedschappen. Als je geen eisen stelt aan de accommodatieomgeving, is de ligging van de herberg erg goed en het uitzicht gunstig, maar verder kan het alleen maar zeer gemiddeld worden genoemd.

Great location right overlooking the terraces. Perfect view in the morning. Owner is active in the local tourism industry and is very knowledgeable about the area. Helped us a lot!

I stayed here for two nights with a friend in the beginning of February and we both loved it. This is not a place for luxury, but for great service! The hosts are genuinely kindhearted, open and will help you with anything to make you comfortable. We stayed in a panoramic view room and the location is right above some rice fields, No need to go to the next door viewing platform that charges ¥70, the view from there and from the rooftop were ansolutely amazing!

What a great location for being amongst the terraces! We splurged and got the terrace view room, and it was very nice with a great view, comfortable bed, warm blankets, and hot shower. The room has an unblocked view of the terraces. But if you don't get that room, the upstairs balcony has the very best view. But we enjoyed watching the sunrise from our bed with hot tea. Lucian is really great! He explained to us different hiking options for seeing other views. His English is really good too so you can ask him any questions about the area. He has a sweet old dog and a cute young cat. He's also available to pick you up if you get lost or have trouble getting back after sunset. There are 2 good restaurants a 10 minute uphill walk away, or Lucian can cook you meals, which are also great. Thanks Lucian! -Travis and Elisha (Colorado, USA) PS. Downloading maps.me beforehand will definitely help with meditation

Can't recommend this place enough, the host speaks perfect English (very rare for Yunnan) and was very helpful in recomening hikes. Family style dinners were fun as well. and the sunrise view from the roof is out of this world! AND there is an adorable kitten and God that are best friends

The view from the room is really amazing, so it’s perfect if you want to see sunrise over the rice paddies without getting out of bed. However the hotel itself is in a very old traditional house and it’s very musty and smells of damp. Lucian, the owner, is very friendly and can help arrange cars.

Pretty much next to the terraces! The view from my room was amazing, especially sunrise, could clearly see it from my room or could go to the outside area to see. Therefore didn’t have to go to the overcrowded viewing platform at the crack of dawn. Room is comfy, heater and towels provided but not really much else, so paying really for the view. Shower powerful and warm but no toiletries provided. Says restaurant on description but in fact doesn’t have one, has a couple of tables where the owner can warm up dumplings or baozi, however the owner is very nice and took me to see his friend which is only a short walk away who had a kitchen and could cook different meals at good prices. The owner helped me carry my luggage down, and it was pretty heavy, and then helped me to arrange someone to bring it up at the end of my stay. I would recommend not bring too much with you as it’s about an 8-10 min walk from the nearest car park, with quite a few steps or uneven paths but like I said, can arrange someone to help with any heavy luggage. Also it is in a little village surrounded by nature so bear in mind, you are going to hear things like the chickens and the wind. Owner speaks great English, always there to answer questions and help.

Amazing time there !

位於元陽梯田多依樹景區的普高老寨裏面，從停車場走到客棧大約五六分鐘，提前給客棧打電話，讓人來接，第一次來很容易走錯。 入住的房間整齊乾淨，衞生間很大，可惜沒有門，但是不朝着房間，也沒什麼影響。拖鞋，毛巾都有，但要帶上自己的洗漱用具。 房間很棒，躺在床上從玻璃窗望出去就是梯田，可以躺在床上看日出，可惜我們住了兩晚都因為大霧，沒有看到日出，有機會再去還會住這裏，彌補我的遺憾。 客棧老闆很熱情，健談，有客人晚上到的很晚還出去接人。 後三張照片都是在房間裏照的。
