Ping'an Yijiaren Hostel

You get what you pay for. Just beware of thin walls and floors. WiFi was great! Hard to find so I pictured the entrances below.

Initially hard to find using apple maps. Contacted the owner who through wechat and translate sent the location but we had to have her father to collect us by foot on the main street, we were 2 minutes away but it's a windy collection of stone steps and alleyways. Stayed in a double room, clean and tidy. Good strong shower and hot water and effective WiFi and air con. Easy access to main viewing points situated between the 2 main look outs. Be prepared to climb steps and wear good footwear as slippery when wet. Hotel offers breakfast lunch and dinner. We opted for breakfast which we requested the night before. Large bowl of chicken Noodle soup for 15 yuan. Great to start the day.

Great stay close to the entrance (6 min walk) and close to the viewpoint seven star (15 min all the way up). Room very clean

The name of the hostel is One Family, and that is exactly what you will get here, since the second day I found myself sitting at the table with the whole family running the place feeling sort of part of this family. On top of that, the owner is part of the local minority living in Ping'ancun, so culturally it doesn't get more authentic than this! But what I truly want to stress is the kindness and helpfulness of the owner's son (whose name I unfortunately have forgotten). He gave me a lot of interesting insights about the history and culture of Ping'ancun, which was truly fascinating. In addition, he gave me advice about my travels, and, ultimately, I would follow his tips seeing some of the most outstanding places in China. So, if you need info and tips about a China travel itinerary, you are also at a good place here. Lastly, the room was like being in a hut on top of a mountain. Surely not as luxurious as other hotels in the area, yet again if you look for something authentic, go here.

房間還可以，帶有獨立衞生間，老闆的父母比較親切，令人感到非常舒服。老闆的老爸做的竹筒飯，味道很香，特別有香香的竹子味道，可能是新砍的竹子有關係。

Chambre très propre et fonctionnel, nous avons bien dormi malgré le bruit du court d’eau. Famille très gentille, c’est dommage que nous les ayons aperçu. Ils ne sont pas présent de 8h30 du matin à 18h. Pièce commune très sombre mais le mauvais temps n’a pas aidé.
