Jacky's Guesthouse has a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Yuanyang. The accommodation features room service, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests.

With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and slippers, rooms at the hostel also boast free WiFi, while some rooms include a mountain view. Staying at Jacky's guesthouse was an excellent choice. Jacky made our stay unforgettably beautiful. He suggested hiking trails running up and down the terraces so that we could observe nature and people very closely. On his trails were no tourists and in this really overcrowded touristic area was of great value for us. Thank you Jacky for sharing this experience with us and also for organising the transportation. Take care.

In the middle of the night he even brought us to the bus stop. The food is also really good, the yak burger and curry were delicious. The room was very nice, great beds and hot shower.
