  • Minority groups

    In some of the more rural parts of the country ethnic minority groups can be found in large numbers. Many of the same tribes that are found in Laos, Cambodia and Thailand have also settled in Yunnan province and also in Guizhou and Guangxi. Many still wear there traditional dress and so a visit to these regions is often a colourful one!

The Starwish Guesthouse

Longji

Despite its name, this small guesthouse is not a resort, but a simple, traditional style guesthouse. It is a wooden construction over four floors, and nearly all of the rooms face out over the village and surrounding rice terraces, with balconies and terraces to make the most of the views.

The rooms are simple but attractive, some with western-style beds and some with Japanese-style platforms with mattresses on them. All the rooms are ensuite, and although the bathrooms are small, they are in good working order. Breakfast is something the Starwish have made some effort over, in order to mark themselves out from other guesthouses in the village where breakfast can be a very hit-and-miss affair.

The Starwish offers clean, comfortable and simple accommodation in Ping An at a very reasonable price.
