In the ancient city

Hotels, most inhabiting old buildings, are mainly located on West St and Mingqing St. There are also good accommodation options in the city, like local resident family hotels and cave houses.
Accommodation expenses range from 30 yuan/bed ($4.86) to 2,000 yuan/room. Visitors can bargain with hotel staff over the price.
