Duoyishu Jacky’s Guesthouse Overview
Jacky’s Guest House is a fairly simple, clean and unpretentious hostel, or rather guesthouse, but still one of the best choices in the area for exploring the fabulous rice terraces and colourful minority markets of the Yuanyang region in southern Yunnan.
We create tailor-made tours in Yunnan with, as minimum services, the reservation of all transportation (car + train/plane) and accommodation. If you only want to make a reservation for the Duoyishu Jacky’s Guest House hotel in Yuanyang, we suggest you do it on the website www.booking.com by clicking on this link: Reservation Duoyishu Jacky’s Guest House.
Warm welcome
The welcome from our friend Jacky, his staff and several members of his family are one of the major assets that make the recent success of this small inn. Jacky will be there to give you advice for your visit to the house, and his mother or aunt at the stove to prepare you good local dishes, again unpretentious but succulent. Note that the atmosphere of the dining room is very friendly with the other travelers present, and your hosts.
Location in Duoyishu
The location of Jacky’s Guest House is ideal, opposite the rice terraces and in the heart of the village of Duoyishu. Be careful though, access is via a small path, below the parking lot where your vehicle will remain. You will have to ask one of the hostel’s porters to come and collect your suitcases, for a small fee, especially if you arrive at night – the path can be dangerous – or if you have large suitcases.
Rooms at Jacky’s Guest House
The room has a total of 8 rooms, all with private bathrooms and toilets. The downside is the beds, which are hard, as is often the case for this type of hostel in Yunnan. When it gets colder, you can turn on the heated blankets/mattresses available. Some rooms have a view overlooking the rice fields, otherwise you can have a shared terrace offering a superb panorama of the rice fields. The hostel is the ideal starting point for walking in the rice fields.
