Close enough to watch the terraces change by the hour.

The manor sits beside Quanfuzhuang Zhongzhai village in the heart of Yuanyang's rice terrace country. Mornings begin at the window; days move between footpaths, village tables and slow weather.

Seasonal dishes, a warm hearth and a meal shaped by local ingredients turn dinner into one of the closest ways to meet the place.

Heritage & community

A living landscape, carefully told.

The Cultural Landscape of Honghe Hani Rice Terraces is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its forest, villages, terraces and water system are interdependent, shaped through generations of farming knowledge.

At the manor, cultural interpretation should begin with local voices. Stories are presented with attribution and review, not as decoration.

From a guest note after staying at the manor

Plan your stay

The useful details, before the journey.

Road conditions, seasonal views and transfer times can change. Confirm the latest route with the manor before departure.

01

Getting here

Quanfuzhuang Zhongzhai Village, BaDa Scenic Area, Yuanyang County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan.

Private transfer and local vehicle arrangements can be discussed when you send your itinerary.

02

When to visit

Winter and early spring bring reflective water. Summer is intensely green. Autumn moves toward harvest colour.

Cloud, mist and rain are part of the mountain landscape; no specific view can be guaranteed.

03

At the manor

Standard check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is by 12:00. Breakfast, Wi-Fi and floor heating are available.

Dinner can be added for RMB 80 per person per night. Please book ahead and share dietary requirements.

Tell us about children, mobility needs or dietary requirements before arrival.

What should I know before booking?

The manor is in a living Hani village within the UNESCO-listed rice-terrace landscape, not an urban resort. Nearby shops, restaurants and ride-hailing services are limited. There is no lift, so please tell us about mobility needs before booking. Rural farming, free-ranging animals and traditional indigo dyeing remain part of everyday village life.

How do guests travel around the terraces?

The scenic loop covers approximately 56 km, so viewpoints, villages and trailheads can be a significant drive apart. DiDi is unreliable here. The manor can arrange a local driver and will confirm the route and price before you accept.

Is there a minibar or refrigerator?

Rooms include a kettle, tea set, local Pu'er tea and complimentary bottled water, but no refrigerator. Chilled water is available from reception, and breakfast includes complimentary coffee and milk.

Can the manor help arrange a transfer?

Yes. Send your arrival city, date, group size and luggage details. The team will reply with the current options and cost before anything is confirmed.

Which room is best for families?

Family rooms and suites provide more sleeping space. The right layout depends on the number and ages of children, so include those details in your inquiry.

Are activities available every day?

No. Field activities, village visits and guided walks depend on season, weather, local schedules and guide availability.

What are the deposit and cancellation terms?

Direct bookings require a 30% deposit. Cancel more than 7 days before arrival for a full deposit refund. For cancellations 3-7 days before arrival, 50% of the deposit is retained. For cancellations less than 3 days before arrival, the deposit is non-refundable. A written offer will confirm the terms that apply to your stay.

Is an inquiry a confirmed reservation?

No. A reservation is confirmed only after the manor replies in writing with availability, rate and inclusions, and the required deposit has been received.
