Located in Changsha and with Taiping Street reachable within 2 km, Changsha Desti Youth Park Hostel Wuyi Square provides express check-in and check-out, non-smoking rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The property is around 2.2 km from Juzizhou, 2.3 km from Kaifu Temple and 2.8 km from Pozi Street. Furong Square is 2.9 km away and Changsha Museum is 3.5 km from the hostel. The best Desti “背包十年” that I stayed at in China. More social than other Desti hostels. Staff was really friendly and actually joined me for a run. I had a really great experience here! 😁

Only a 5-minute walk from Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Destination Youth Hostel features private guest rooms and simple dormitory rooms with free Wi-Fi. It offers a tour desk, a library, a games room, a shared kitchen and convenient guest services. Very good value for money and in a great location. It was only a 10 minute walk to the entrance of the forest park. The owner was super helpful and booked tickets for us for both the forest park and Tianmen - saving us time when we got there, particularly with Tianmen. Our room was very comfortable and we were given fresh bottles of water each day, a nice touch and much appreciated after a hot day walking in the park.

Located in Zhangjiajie, 28 km from Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Tianmen Mountain Panorama & Cultural Art Exchange Hostel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The property is around 16 km from Tianmenshan National Forest Park, 22 km from Tianmen Mountain and 29 km from Huangshi Village. The property is non-smoking and is set 5 km from Tianmen Mountain Ticket Office. This hostel is amazing! I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hostel as a solo female traveler! The staffs were incredibly friendly and helpful, which immediately put me at ease. It's truly excellent value for money. My bed was very comfortable, and I slept soundly. Having lockers inside the room was a huge plus for security and peace of mind. A really nice touch upon arrival was receiving shower gel, toilet paper, slippers, and a toothbrush – perfect when you're trying to pack light! What really stood out was their understanding of female travelers' needs. During an unexpected situation, I found myself without essential feminine hygiene products. I hesitantly asked a female staff member if they had any available for purchase or if she knew where I could get some nearby. To my immense relief and appreciation, she discreetly provided me with what I needed free of charge. Overall, I felt very safe, respected, and well taken care of here. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. I recommend this hostel highly enough to other women traveling alone.

Border Town International Youth Hostel Fenghuang Ancient City Bar Street Branch features accommodation in Fenghuang. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. I arrived close to midnight and was given a private room instead of a bunk bed in a dorm, probably to not disturb others sleeping. The staff also provided an extension cable with the appropriate socket for my charger. The location was truly excellent, in the midst of the old town but on a side street, so not nousy as it can be with bars and singing thru late evening.
