Leaning against the small courtyard on the hill

Definitely an actual guesthouse experience. Not sure if I would recommend for other solo travelers who don’t speak much Chinese. Was a bit awkward, especially since there were no other guests when I was there. I asked to eat what they were having since I’m only one person and it was confusingly kind of expensive (¥78). Local and fresh though. It is a bit of a walk from the main trail but it’s doable - just be prepared. They offered to drive me down in the morning but I wanted to walk. The view from the balcony and courtyard is absolutely stunning.

Absolute fantastic homestay! I felt very welcome, the host and his family took great care of me and made sure I was fully loaded before I took off again. Made delicious food and also did my laundry and booked bustickets for the next day. Very friendly! The place itself gives a very real experience of the lifestyle over there. I slept well. Definitely recommend! 🙂 The place is on the upper side of the village, and therefore very peaceful and with a great(er) view. For those wanting to stay: After the village with the Tea Horse Restaurant it's about an hour hiking. When you leave the dirt road after ~an hour and reach the village of the homestay (at a hairpin curve), you have to turn left (and right again) soon to go to the homestay. Remember to note the name of the homestay in Chinese, as the owner wrote some signs for direction. Once up the road, keep walking. It's on your left hand.

We had a great stay here! The owners are very friendly and willing to help. She made us a great vegetarian dinner and breakfast. The portions were large and we highly enjoyed it. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean and the thick blanket kept us warm during the night. The bathroom was clean and the shower very hot! Would highly recommended staying here!
