Yuelai Courtyard Hotel (Longsheng Longji Terrace Observation Deck)  

Perched in Longji among the terraced rice fields. Less than a 15‑minute walk from the Thousand Layer Sky Ladder and the Red Rock Terrace observation decks. East‑facing balconies frame sunrise over 400 layered paddies for postcard views right from your room.

Rooms offer east‑facing balconies and simple comforts like slippers. The vibe is relaxed courtyard charm with local hiking info at the front desk. The hotel is pet‑friendly and greeted by two resident cats, SanHua and Suka.

On‑site restaurant, picnic area, guest laundry and a parking zone. Pet‑friendly property — bring your companion or meet the resident cats. Wake up to terrace sunrises and step straight onto hiking routes with maps from reception.

A restaurant led by a star chef from the former Northern Hotel serves hearty, well‑executed meals you’ll want to lick the plate over. Fuel up before a hike or unwind with a satisfying dinner after exploring the terraces.
