Jacky's Guesthouse

Jackys Guesthouse is in a very beautiful spot, the views from the rooms are stunning. The room was very clean and comfortable. Jacky has fluent English. was available to help us plan hikes in the area , book rides and was very helpful in everything. Food was great too!! Definitely would go back to his guesthouse.

Jacky is a great host. He took us on a wonderful hike trough the ricefields and gave good instructions for a hike to do on our own. I bought some of his postcards which are of his own photo’s, he is a great photographer too. We loved the meals which were prepared by him and his sister. She was very sweet, as was Jacky’s dog.

Jacky's is the place for me as someone who has very limited understanding of Chinese. Moreover, many of the older villagers can't speak Chinese anyway. Jacky is a native of this place. I chose a very basic room which was sufficient for my needs. He was most helpful with information on photography, himself being a photographer and Hani culture. He arranged arrival and departure for me and helped with luggage. Please be aware that you will be in a very rural and once remote part of the country, so don't expect luxurious surroundings. If you are squirmish about mud, dirt and animal droppings, well, get used to it and enjoy one of the wonders of human effort and creation. If you are a photographer, do yourself a favour and also get a drone. Incomparable and endless views of rice terraces. And yes, Duoduo their dog can take you for a walk down to the terraces.
