Really friendly locals welcomed us into their houses and showed as how they lived. Definitely eye opening view of technologically simpler life but people seemed genuinely happy. More

We unfortunately did not plan enough time to stay there. There are many hikes available through the rice terraces. The views are breath taking and make sure you have your camera charged. Ping An Village at this point is still ok, even though there is lots of construction happening. I think on the long run that will probably back fire... More

Ping'an is a beautiful village built into the hills of the rice paddies. The locals minorities still work in the villages and farm the rice paddies, and so you get real insight into how the local culture and activities. Scenery is beautiful and it's a nice change from China's crowded cities! More

Our small tour group stayed at a little hotel up in Ping'an Village on March 31, 2012. Someone's review that it is a collection of guest houses/small hotels rather than a village does seem somewhat true when you see the accommodations being built, but still, local people live and work there and it was awesome. Very accessible to the rice... More

You have to go on foot or in a hammock but it's an amazing place. The village is a small conglomerate of wooden houses built on the sides of mountains surrounded by rice terraces. If you spend the night there, take little luggage!!! You'll have to carry it up there yourself!! More

This is worth a visit no matter the time of year. We stayed in Ping'an where there are lots of accommodation and eating options (many were closed in January). The guesthouse we stayed in probably had a great view until the guesthouse in front of it was built. There is a lot of development going on and the village will... More

This village has become highly touristed in the last few years, but I think it's probably still the best access point to the trails for great viewing of the rice terraces. More
