Zhongtian International Youth Hostel

Stayed at this hostel for 5 nights while travelling to the national park, glass bridge and tianmen mountain. It's a small hostel but it's a very good price for a private double room with a bathroom, TV (with tons of English films on) and plenty of luggage space. The sheets didn't get cleaned during our stay, nor did the room as such, this could've been due to the fact we couldn't speak Chinese and the staff couldn't speak English (perhaps if we could've asked then I'm sure they would've!) There are plenty of local restaurants/food stalls near by to get food and a few big supermarkets too. From the station to the hostel (either way) you can catch bus number 6, it's 2 YUAN per journey and stops right outside both, the station and the hostel. You'll be needing to catch this a few times to the train station as the buses to the attractions leave from the big bus station by the train station! There is possibly a few better restaurants located nearer the stations but it's similar kind of food anyway. Also, there is a free washing machine at the hostel and powder is provided. It's at the top floor of the hostel and you also get a great view of 'Heavens gate' at tianmen mountain from there too. Definitely recommend this hostel, even if you can't speak a word of Chinese they provide English maps for the park and are genuine and really nice people here.
