about accomodation nearby bingling thousand buddha caves

Question

It says that a one way trip is 4-5 hours from Lanzhou; is there accommodation available nearby the caves? Obviously it's not possible to travel there and back,as well as see the caves all in one day. What do travelers normally do?

Mr.Peter · Answer

No hotels near Bingling caves, you have to take a ship back to Liujiaxia or Yongjing County to Stay over night.

I have done the trip in a day from Lanzhou, however we did hire a taxi to take us there and back from Lanzhou (make sure you get a price first and don't forget to haggle). Take the taxi driver with you on the (we took a speed boat once the bloody things got started) boat to the caves and don't forget to go further back beyond the caves as there is also a buddist retreat further up the valley. Well worth spending the day but it is advisable to take an English speaking guide.I worked in Lanzhou for a year as an English teacher so knew my way around.
