Jianglu Yalogu, the first hotel located in a cave in Southwest China's Guizhou province, recently opened in the city of Chishui.

The hotel, surrounded by bamboo forests, was transformed from a small village of 11 families, and has been adapted to the Danxia landform to accentuate the features of the local environment.

The name Yalogu comes from the language of the Tujia ethnic group, and means "I miss you."

It is only two kilometers away from Chishui's Bing'an Ancient Town, 12 km away from Chishui Waterfall, 20 km away from Foguangyan scenic spot, and 22 km away from Chishui Suoluo National Nature Reserve.

Tourists can get to the hotel by driving, high-speed train, or plane. The closest railway station to the hotel is Luzhou Railway Station, and the nearest airport is Maotai airport.
