Look for a sign on the right side with the International Hosteling logo.),☏ +86 7928286327,yhalushan@hotmail.com.Check-out: 12:00.This is fairly new, bright, and clean hostel not far off the main street. Staff are very friendly and there's usually an English speaker to be found. They offer 30 minutes of free internet and have for ¥5 simple Chinese-style breakfast.¥35 dorm. Other hotels have vastly different rates on offer other than the published rate at reception. As ever, it is handy to have a Chinese person negotiate the rate while the foreigner stays out of sight, however if this can't be arranged a guide is that a twin room in a hotel should be not much more than ¥150, and maybe a bit less. Good luck.
