The Yellow River

Accommodation

    1 Feitian East side of the train-station square 0352/2815117 2813483 Convenient budget option in a fairly decent hotel; this is where the CITS will probably put you. Price: hostel ¥35Price: hotel ¥140

    2 Author Pick Huangcheng Huangcheng Jie, a small lane heading east off Da Bei Jie, just north of the centre 0352/2048444 or 2059788 Small but modern rooms, in an attractive, antique-style building with friendly staff and a good restaurant; a bargain given the central location. Price: ¥200-299

    3 Huayuan 59 Da Nan Jie 0352/5865825 5865824 Four-star joint with smart service, bang in the city centre; a favourite with Chinese officials. Price: ¥600-800

    4 Lüguan Immediately east of the train station building above a fast-food joint Clean if basic place with 24hr hot water and efficient, brusque staff. You're fairly unlikely to get into a dorm unless you're in a group and can take the whole room; otherwise, their doubles with bathrooms are fine. Price: hostel ¥30Price: hotel ¥150

    5 Yungang International 38 Da Xi Jie (entrance is around the back) 0352/5869999 5869666 Top-end option full of marble, chandeliers and businessmen, though nowhere near as expensive as it looks. Price: ¥300-449

    6 Yuzeyuan Xinjian Bei Lu, between the bus and train stations 0352/2807889 Ordinary, small urban Chinese hotel, fairly new and very welcoming, with low prices. Price: ¥80-139
