Nanluoguxiang is brilliant for backpackers as it has the advantage of being near cafés and restaurants with English menus
and western food, without being horrendously touristy, overpriced or full of touts. The hostel is quiet and homely, nicely

Originally built in the Qing Dynasty for General Zeng Ge Ling Qin, his pad now attracts tourists who want to stay somewhere
with character. Some guests gripe about the slightly shabby rooms, but relaxing in the Qing-style courtyard, complete with
caged birds, more than makes up for it. Rooms come with their own bathrooms, but the quality and size of the rooms varies
enormously, so ask to take a look before opening your wallet.

What this hostel (a member of Hostelling International) lacks in charm it makes up for in convenience. Located on the
doorway of the metro opposite the railway station, the noisy traffic, hordes of people and touts who try to pack you off to
Tianjin might get annoying if you have to stay here for a while. If you're just passing through and need a bed for a night
then this is probably your best option.

one of the friendliest in town. Its impressive main room boasts a throne and a ceiling is covered in Tibetan-inspired patterns;
similar attention has been giving to the designs of the guest rooms. A word of warning, the ground floor rooms lack natural
light: make sure you set an alarm clock, especially if you are jetlagged, or you might find yourself starting the day out mid-

everyone will appreciate this, especially in the early hours when guests are still nattering and DVDs still blaring. Leo's

Tree Bar. The downside to being at the heart of the action is that in summer this busy backstreet is riddled with beggars
and drug dealers. Rooms are either twin-bed or dorms consisting of four bunk beds. The private rooms are of a perfectly
decent quality for the price, but dorms are old and haggard, with flimsy mattresses and frosted windows. Daily breakfast and

Tucked behind the Zhaolong Hotel proper down a nondescript alley is this two-story grey-brick youth hostel. It has standard
facilities, with the added bonus that guests are able to use the main hotel’s gym. The place has been around for a while and
it shows as its utilitarian dorms, rooms and reception areas demonstrate, but the sunny restaurant and bar (which serves up
a RMB 15 breakfast) with trellises and plants tumbling down give the place some charm. Staff will also arrange Chinese
classes if you are that way inclined. Really though, it’s all about location: despite being in a very quiet back-street, the
hostel is stumbling distance from party central, aka Sanlitun, with its cheap and cheerful bars and restaurants, but beware:
doors close at 1am to prevent unruly revellers.

This homely place around a converted courtyard is a challenge to find, but persevere if you want the hutong experience at
a cut-price rate. The owners, keen to give visitors a good impression of Beijing, go that extra mile in helping you arrange
tours or onward tickets. The traditional Chinese décor doesn’t extend to the bedrooms, but they are acceptable and well-
heated, something that’s important during the winter months.

The somewhat ironically named Beijing Saga International Youth Hostel is a hostelling International hostel offering clean
budget accommodation in central Beijing (hostelling International members get a discount). Facilities are quite adequate,
service is good and the staff speak reasonable English. The building is functional more than charming, but the surrounding
area is a very typical Beijing hutong. A free breakfast is included in the price. The hostel is twenty minutes walk from Beijing
Railway Station; the Forbidden City, Wangfujing and Tiananmen Square are all a short car journey away. The entrance to
the hostel itself is not particularly well signed, but you can recognize it from the blue Hostelling International sign on the roof.

Map of Beijing Far East International Youth Hostel
Beijing Far East International Youth Hostel is very popular with guests and one of our favourites. It was once described as
‘one of Beijing’s best kept secrets’ but the secret’s not really been kept for years, so get here before everyone else does.
The hostel combines a charming old-style Beijing courtyard with a larger modern dormitory block. The courtyard part is
beautiful, the dormitory building functional. The location is excellent, just a few blocks Southwest of Qianmen, Tiananmen
Square and the Forbidden City (15-20 mins walk), a short car journey from Wangfujing shopping district, and close to the
Hepingmen subway station. Service is good and staff speak English.

Beijing Eastern Morning Sun Youth Hostel Location Map
The hostel is four floors underground and there's a slight institutional feel in place, but wow, what a central location and
what a price. There are no dorms, just small tiled-floor rooms that share bath and haven't a frill to speak of. For the super-
budget traveller who needs privacy, it's ideal.
The clientele here seems largely Chinese, so it's a great spot if you want to mix with the locals. The staff speak some
English, but will probably appreciate it if you can communicate in Mandarin. Like most other hostels in Beijing this place has
laundry, Internet access and a travel centre. Rooms are bare bones, but come with bedding and towels. The tiny singles
have no TVs, but pricier doubles do. Despite an address in the upscale Oriental Plaza just east of the shopping street,
Wangfujing Dajie, cheap eats are easy to find in the nearby markets and on Donganmen Dajie. You're pretty much in the
centre of town here, and in one of the most popular tourist areas, so expect the neighbourhood to be crowded in the peak
season.

The Temple of Heaven Youth Hostel Location Map
As a branch of East Morning Sun Youth Hostel, the Temple of Heaven International Youth Hostel has the convenient
location with enjoyable surroundings and good facilities with budget price, as well as great services with wonderful tours'
arrangement. Surrounded by three parks, the Temple of Heaven, the Longtan Lake Park and the Beijing Amusement Park,
the hostel is located by the side of the Second Ring Road in the south of Beijing with Bianyifang Roast Duck Restaurant,
Hongqiao Pearl Market, New World Department Store and Panjiayuan Antique Market nearby. It is only 5 minutes walking
distance to the Temple of Heaven where Emperors worshiped their ancestors in the ancient time. Today many people
practice Taiji (Shadowing boxing) there in the early morning, and you will probably get a chance to learn a bit. Not far away
from the hostel, Longtan Park is free to get in and a fantastic place to have a picnic by the side of the lake, you can share
your traveling experiences with friends...
