Tiger Leaping Gorge Tea-Horse Guesthouse

Perfect location directy on path of tiger leaping gorge. We were upgraded to a room with private bathroom and were surprised how luxurious chinese "mountain huts" are. Hot water shower, heating blanket, ac, wifi in room. They have this beautiful terrasse with delicious coffee and beer and cook good dinner/breakfast that is reasonably priced.

Wonderful stay. The view frm cafe is amazing. The cafe serve yummy coffee n tea. Staff very friendly & helpfull. There is microwave for reheat halal (muslim) food. One of the staff can speak English

A perfect stay along the upper trail of the three gorges hike. The view from the coffee shop and viewing platform was the best on the whole track! It was Chinese new year when we stayed and they cooked an amazing dinner.

Great stay, really nice room and kitchen / food. We had a great view and the view from the deck is amazing. Only not 5 stars for cleanliness because the toilet is really not great, it’s a half door that looks right out to where people walk and the toilet is just a drain you stand either side of. Just be prepared it’s not the greatest!

I was skeptical about TeaHorse at first due to the lack of reviews but this turned out to be a wonderful stay! We stayed here overnight on our 2 day hike through the Tiger Leaping Gorge. We upgraded to the Deluxe Standard Room (for extra 50 CNY) since the room is newer and slightly bigger. The ensuite toilet was basic but very clean. The beds were also heated and the aircon could be used for heating and cooling. The guesthouse also runs a restaurant cooking homecooked meals and a cafe/bar boasting a beautiful view. We felt that the view from TeaHorse was better than the one at Halfway House, which seems to be the more popular resting spot amongst hikers. The view of stars from the cafe viewpoint at night is also amazing. The staff helped us book a return bus to Lijiang, which left from Tina’s guesthouse the next day. Tina’s was a 4h hike from TeaHorse and we boarded the bus back to Lijiang Old Town with no problem. Overall a lovely stay and would highly recommend this room as an overnight rest point for hikers.

Basic accommodation (warning to westerners, the bed is quite hard!) but it is a warm safe place to sleep and you will be very happy to arrive here after walking a long first day of the amazing Tiger Leaping Gorge trail!! The staff are lovely, and the guesthouse has a great restaurant (western and Chinese food) and bar.
