Gongtan's Riverside Inns, the Wujiang at the Window

Línjiāng kèzhàn yī yè, tuīchuāng jiàn Wūjiāng; yānwǔ Gōngtān, èrbǎi dào sìbǎi. — One night at a riverside inn, push the window open onto the Wujiang; the misty rain of Gongtan, two hundred to four hundred.

Gongtan’s riverside inns (龚滩临江客栈) are the old town’s homestay layer: the Yang family inn (杨家客栈) and the “Misty-Rain Gongtan” (烟雨龚滩) among them, at about 200–400 yuan a night. The product is the window — the river-facing room with the Wujiang (推窗见乌江) in full view, which is the whole reason the town’s old street is worth sleeping on rather than visiting.

The river-facing room is the premium and the slope-facing room is the discount — the inns sell the same street at two prices by which way the window looks. Book the sunset session of the boat and sleep on the street; the morning belongs to the residents again.

Gongtan Riverside Inns

flowcloud would say that two hundred to four hundred buys the river at your window — and that the old town’s best room is the one that keeps the Wujiang in it.

Where to find it: the Gongtan old-town riverfront, where the Yang family inn and the “Misty-Rain Gongtan” face the Wujiang. All checked October 2026.
