2-Star Hotels in Congjiang

Jiabang Rice Terraces are absolutely stunning! The guesthouse owners were incredibly welcoming; the owner even picked us up from the drop-off point and helped with our luggage! The food they cooked was delicious, especially the rice paddy fish—it was so fresh and tender! The room was very clean and tidy, and the view from the window was fantastic (the owner said you can see the sunrise in autumn, so I'll definitely go sometime then!). It was very quiet at night. This guesthouse is incredibly close to Viewpoint No. 6, just a short walk away. In the mornings, we'd go to Viewpoint No. 6 first thing, take some beautiful photos, and then go back to the hotel for breakfast—it was plentiful and delicious!

Viewpoint No. 6 is the best spot for watching the sunrise and has a high vantage point; it's not far from the guesthouse as you walk up the street. Locals prefer to build their houses with cedar wood because it needs proper moisture control, as brick walls are prone to mold. While it may not be soundproof, it offers a genuine wooden cabin experience. The most amazing thing was the food. The owner's motto is ”whatever's available, we'll eat,” with freshly caught and prepared fish with quick and skillful movements. In the morning, we told the owner we wanted rice paddy fish, and he went to catch them himself that morning. In the evening, we had a free-range chicken (one chicken and two portions), and when we asked what we wanted for the next day, he recommended loach. After dinner, he went to catch loach himself. The owner will also help you prepare various dishes and soups, so order with confidence and reasonable prices. The rice paddy fish had clean bellies without any black membrane. This is a natural ingredient you can't find in cities or towns. The air was fresh and clean; even after rain, my glasses dried without any residue. The owner's diligence and reliability inspired trust. After two days of enjoying beautiful scenery and delicious food, I experienced the wonderful mountains, clear water, fresh air, and friendly people. Parking is free for those driving. The scenic area has shuttle buses that run every 15 minutes to take people to six viewing platforms and the spiral terraces. I visited the mirror-like terraces (viewing platform No. 1) in April or May, and I want to come back in September to see the autumn harvest scenery. It's truly a heavenly place.

Transportation: Very convenient. The guesthouse is located at a higher point, near the sixth viewing platform of the terraced fields scenic area, easily accessible by sightseeing bus. As it's the final stop on the uphill route, you can directly catch the downhill shuttle bus, avoiding the situation where the bus is full at previous stops. Environment: The guesthouse is bright, spacious, clean, and hygienic. The owners are very attentive, even providing disposable towels and toilet seats in the rooms for guests with higher hygiene standards. Service: The owners are very welcoming. There's a dining area on the first floor. You can order some home-style dishes, all very delicious. The chicken used for the chicken soup is freshly killed, taking a little longer but resulting in exceptionally fresh flavor. You can leave your luggage at the guesthouse while sightseeing during the day, and if you get tired after walking to other viewing platforms, you can contact the owners to have your luggage brought back. Food: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are available. The owners cook their own food, with simple home-style seasonings, and the spiciness can be adjusted. The main appeal is the freshness of the ingredients. The chicken soup is a must-order; the cabbage is incredibly flavorful. The stir-fried beef with celery is a generous portion that will fill you up, and the celery is even tastier than the beef. Breakfast includes rice noodles, corn, and sweet potatoes. The prices are reasonable and fair; they don't overcharge just because it's in a tourist area. Other: The owners are a warm and welcoming family. You can even watch the young owner pet his tabby cat – a truly pleasant experience.

The place is perfectly located on the top of the rice terraces, the view is stunning and the owner and her son are really nice and trying to make your stay the best possible ! I was alone so the price was a bit expensive because they just have room for two, but for two people it is so cheap !! And anyway comparing to the l’éther in the area totally affordable and so worth it !! I could have stayed longer I would have with no hesitation !

The inn is on the same road on the 5th observation deck, and then located in the middle of the 5th observation deck and the 6th observation deck. It is very convenient to walk to the two observation decks. The first floor of the inn is the restaurant, which can solve everyone's breakfast, lunch and dinner. We just ordered an acid at the inn immediately after we checked in at noon. The soup powder is delicious. The shuttle bus in the scenic spot can be stopped immediately. Tell the driver that your inn name can be sent directly to the inn. It is very convenient. This holiday decisively abandoned Miao Village and chose the terraces here. It was really the right choice. There are very few people and the scenery is beautiful. The only thing is that it rained at night. The next day there was a cloud and I couldn’t see the sunrise, but there was a beautiful sea of clouds. There was no way. The sea of clouds and the sunrise could not coexist haha, and the observation deck at 7:30 pm on May 1st also set off fireworks for tourists. It’s so special. The terraces set off fireworks. We also heard the horn broadcast at the observation deck on the 6th, saying that the observation deck on the 1st had fireworks to see the luck is very good, tourists do not miss remember to go to watch on time!

Very good stay experience, the room window view is nice, the room is relatively clean, the bedding has no odor, the front desk lady is also very warm and lovely, suitable for bringing children, and families can also rest assured

The room was on the third floor with a beautiful view. Sitting by the window drinking tea was very pleasant. The guesthouse is right by the main road, very close to Viewpoint No. 1, just a 3-minute walk, which is very convenient. The only downside is that the stairs are too narrow, making going up and down a bit inconvenient. However, there's a terrace downstairs where you can sit and watch the clouds rise and see the sunrise in the morning. The cleanliness was acceptable, but the squat toilet wasn't quite what I was used to!

The host of this accomodation is what makes this place extra special! She was very attentive to any enquiry that we had and was super sweet! The house is in the traditional style so is a little noisy when moving around at night, the beds are hard but clean and the shower is hot with good pressure, plus the location is directly opposite from the entrance to Basha village so it is very convenient! She helped us to arrange a very good price for a driver to take our family to Congjiang railway station on departure and boiled us some eggs for breakfast as the driver came early and we didn’t have time eat.

The room is an old-style house, without a hair dryer (maybe there is one at the front desk), and slippers are not comfortable to wear. However, it is very close to the high-speed rail station, which makes travel convenient, so these minor problems are acceptable. As a temporary stop, it's good.

Hygienic: clean and tidy, Environment: The price is right, ......Not bad..............................................................................................................................
