In the park: To protect the park, staying overnight in the park is not allowed. In 2001, during my second visit, the owner of Shuzheng Hotel in Shuzheng Village maintained a good relationship with the park administrator and his hotel managed to stay open for individual travelers. A double room with hot shower: between Y80 to Y120. Don't be surprised if you find a mouse in the room. Most of the lodges in the park, which used to receive group tourists, have been abandoned. As the entrance ticket is valid for two days since 2006, it is not necessary to stay inside the park.

Outside the park: hundreds of hotels from budget to four stars. We managed to get a room for RMB280 at a “four stars” hotel when we arrived. Good hotels often offer up to 50% discount during the low season.
From the park entrance along the road to direction Nanping, you would find more easily modest hotels, around Y100. I don't have special recommendation, as the standard of such hotels may change and deteriorate quickly. During my first trip in Aug. 1999, I stayed one night for around Y120 at Jin So Hotel, “a good bingguan(hotel), modest, with friendly staff” according to <Lonely Planet> (South-West China, published in Nov. 1998). It turned out to be a nightmare for me. Just in ten minutes, after having taken the shower, without putting my long trousers, my two legs were bitten more than fifty times by invisible insects on the bed.

Always check the room first: hot water, WC, bed sheet, air conditioner, especially for rooms between Y80 to Y200. Otherwise, better to take a budget simple room and wrap yourself well.
