中国の山小屋＆キャビン・トップ10

A good stop on the way through the Tiger Leaping Gorge. You can eat and drink well here.

Above a modern glass construction, below old Chinese roofs, great view of the valley

You can book a room to sleep there, get food and can replenish your water supply. They also have cola and beer :-) Payment with WeChat/Alipay, because the have WIFI. The rooms are simple but clean. The food is awesome.

This is a Kyrgyz run restaurant with a Yurt offering minsu (homestay in Chinese). Price includes breakfast as the old Kyrgyz couple also manage the restaurant next door. Have your earplugs or headphones ready as it just by the main road. This place is about 150m on the left as you head to the police checkpoint. Price RMB100 with breakfast (June 2024).

The Xihai was a lovely hotel at the top of Huangshan. It was the destination on the first day of arrival and the next morning the starting point for Xihai (Grand Canyon), the highlight of my Huangshan tour to the Jade Screen Hotel. The hotel was clean and the breakfast was still acceptable. The hotels are a bit expensive but no wonder given the location and high demand, so pre-orders are a must. What is particularly noteworthy is that all items (food, bed linen, etc.) have to be carried up approx. 5,000 steps by porters on foot, as the cable cars are not allowed to be used for this. Actually a no GO.

As of June 2023, the lodge is under renovation.

There are two cabins on the trail. The second, 369 Cabin / Sanliujiu Cabin, is at the 6.9 km mark at an altitude of 3,160 m. The cabin is rather basic containing bunker style beds. Hikers must bring their own sleeping and cooking gear. Tables and benches are outside. The toilet building is separate.

Cabin to sleep on the way to Jiaming Lake. Space needs to be booked ahead of time. Basic dormitory style, does the job. Good location for a sunrise hike up to the Jiaming Lake and Sanchashan.
