Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Super friendly staff, speaking good English, three large but so calm and friendly dogs in the yard. It had a homey vibe, and a great location.

    I really recommend this amazing hostel, situated in the beautiful ancient town of Shuhe. It's clean, spatious and there are a lot of very nice facilities (two bars, option to have breakfast and diner, fitness and a lot of places to relax). The staff is very friendly too!

    Our stay was amazing. The hotel is beautiful and in a great location to explore the old town. The breakfast is delicious, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Jimmy, in particular, made our stay even better. He answered every question we had, organised everything, was a tour guide for the day, and gave us great restaurant recommendations. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

    The first time I stayed in a Chinese youth hostel, I chose the more famous backpacking ten years. The accommodation experience is very good, the hostel is clean and hygienic accommodation conditions are very good, the hostel atmosphere is also very strong, the store will organize a variety of activities to meet new friends, and will come back to stay in the future.
