Fodor's Expert Review Li'an Lodge

Ping'an, Guangxi Zhuangzu Zizhiqu, China Fodor's Choice

Perched atop a mountain and peeking through the morning mist, a stay at Li'an Lodge is the ultimate way to immerse yourself in stylish Chinese style without sliding into kitsch. Its creator, Karen Su, is also a famed Chinese painter, and her eye for detail is evident in every nook and cranny of this unique boutique hotel. You can imagine yourself inside a Chinese painting with the dreamy views of the surrounding rice terraces; when the chill sets in, you can retreat to an exquisitely designed suite without missing out on the sights. It's a delight in every season. It's worth springing for a room with a terrace view.
