Where to stay in Sanjiang, Sanjiang hotels guide

167 km northwest of Guilin city, the small charming town – Sanjiang borders with the neighboring Guizhou Province, which can be regarded as the major gateway to enter southeast Guizhou – a world of colorful ethnic cultures. It usually takes 3.5 hours on the way from Guilin to Sanjiang. If the project of a highway from Guilin to Sanjiang will be completed in 2016, the drive time can hopefully be shortened to 1.5-2 hours.

Being a small town nestled in remote areas, the accommodations in Sanjiang can't be compared with those in big cities. As travelers, you can't expect much here. Some modern hotels were open in the past years, but after 2-3 years of running, the hotel rooms soon got worn out with dirty carpet and smoke smell.

Guilin Holiday travel specialists often do the inspection trip to the remote areas like Sanjiang to locate the possible best choices for our clients. Currently, the most luxury hotel in town is Dongxiang Guest House, which is claimed to be a 5 star class hotel, with spacious guest room and adequate amenities. Like most of other hotels in Chinese small towns, the staff has a limited knowledge of English.

We recommend the Riverview Hotel as the middle range accommodation. The hotel owner Mr. Yang speaks quite fluent English and has the experience of how to service the international tourists. Beside, the hotel offer good options for western tourists.

For most of the travelers, we would like to recommend an overnight stay at Dong Village Hotel near Chengyang Wind and Rain Bridge. It is a lovely Dong-style wooden building with basic and clean facilities. The hotel owner Michael speaks good English. Right here, you will have more chances to see the rural China and get close to the Dong people's life nearby.
