Stone Drum House - A Rock Climbing Hostel in Shigu, Yunnan, China
Since arriving in Shigu, Yunnan, China in 2015, we have been renovating this traditional courtyard as a base for rock climbing, and outdoor activities.

#YangtzeRiverStories: Lijiang Old Town in SW China's Yunnan
#YangtzeRiverStories: Lijiang Old Town in SW China's Yunnan is a well-preserved ancient town for Naxi ethnic group, and also a UNESCO World Heritage. Explore this amazing town with over a hundred years of history, and also experience the romantic, relaxing, and charming spirit of this ancient town without walls.
Shigu Panorama
The village of Shigu (stone drum) is located at the first bend of the Yangtze river as it flows down from the Himalayas and towards central China. This was the site of a famous battle between the ancient Tibetan kingdom and the Naxi kingdom. The Naxi defeated the Tibetans and held on to this territory. Their war ended when the two kingdoms signed a peace treaty and set a large stone drum in this village to commemorate the end of their war. Communist guerrillas camped here during their Long March in retreat from Chang Kai Shek's Nationalist army, and so it also boasts a cliff-top monument to the Communist Revolution.
