Yuanyang Yunshang Homestay

Wonderful homestay in an excellent location. Food is fantastic (they have real coffee too!), the family who runs the place very nice. The location is at the end of the town overlooking some of the terraces. We had the room with the view over the terraces, which was great with the big window. Only drawback was that the sun hits really hard in the morning through the glass, so better to be up early before the sun comes up over the hills. Attached photos are taken a few steps from the homestay.

If you are looking for an unique stay and experience "Hani" culture, I would highly recommend staying with the family. When I arrived, the host invited me for a hike through the ricefields to see the sunset, and afterwards I joined the family for a traditional dinner with local dishes, straight from their own garden. Especially as a solo traveller, I felt at home instantly and they will do everything to make your stay comfortable. The food is delicious, the room was spotless, and the host can recommend great places for hiking. Don't forget their delicious coffee and tea! One minor thing, when you go back to Kunming by bus, just make sure that the host reserves the bus ticket. I unexpectely had to change buses in Yuangyang because it was full. I would definitely come back, and their homestay is one of my highlights in China. Thank you again for the memorable stay and for welcoming me with open arms. See you next time!

Great hostel and very lovely hospitality by the owners. The location was a little hard to find because the maps of the area aren't very up to date but it's true to almost every hostel in this town..

I spent 2 nights there. Very peaceful and quiet. Fantastic views of sunrise on the rice fields within a short walking distance. The view from my room was amazing. The facilities are more than adequate.The hospitality and generosity of the owner is outstanding. One of the highlights of the stay was going to the local market. Highly recommended to get away from crowds and experience local hospitality and culture.

Very good location for looking the sunrise on the rice terraces. And the owner was so kind and helpful in organizing our hike in the rice fields.

Incredibly kind and friendly hosts. The room was extremely clean and had everything you need. The hosts were so helpful in recommending hikes and places to go. One of the hosts speaks English and was super helpful for me as a foreign traveller. The hotel is in the perfect location for seeing everything in the area.
