Yangtze River Youth Hostel is located at the bank of the Yangtze River, ten minutes walk by the Yangtze River from Chaotianmen Port.
The business center of Chongqing, Liberation Monument(Jifngbi),and HongYaDong (a recreated group of traditional style houses) is ten minutes walk away from us.
Our hostel is a typical Chinese-style architecture with sloping roof, a courtyard and a corridor, it has 28 rooms and a LOFT bar (we think solo travellers need some friends) designed by Chinese style. Most of the rooms are facing the Yangtze River, equipped with cable TV and wireless. The dormitories are also designed with different themes, with reading lamps and lockers for convenience.
As a hostel for backpackers, the staff here need to be like a backpacker, need to be helpful, friendly, English-speaking, and need to be familiar with Chongqing and places around Chongqing and surely they are. They can even give you some tour routes that most people are not familiar with, but really worthy of exploration, such as:
Ancient towns along Yangtze River.
The beautiful valley of the Wujiang River;
The landscape of the South West and cave in Wulong
