Jing Keng Guesthouse, Longsheng, China

Dragon\'s Backbone Terraces

Come to Longji, where endless layers of terraced gardens grace the dramatic slopes of this legendary Chinese land. From the shimmering ribbons of flooded terraces in spring to the golden hues of autumn, every season reveals a unique yet equally beautiful landscape.

Owned and operated by a local Red Yao family, Jing Keng Guesthouse is located in the hilltop village of TianTouZhai perched above Dazhai Village in the most scenic region of Longji. The No.1, No.2, and No.3 viewpoints are all conveniently accessible on foot from the hotel via ancient flagstone trails. When you\'re not out exploring the area, sit out on the patio and enjoy a cup of tea or a delicious home-cooked meal while admiring the magnificent view.

Our friendly and knowledgeable the boss hannah wuu speaks excellent English and will help you make the most of your stay. You can choose to explore the area independently or we can arrange for a local guide to help you navigate the trails.

The main-floor restaurant serves a range of delicious freshly prepared meals including local specialties and Western-style dishes to start and end your day of trekking. Most ingredients are locally grown and organic, with a fully organic option available upon request.
