coffee on the rock

The institution offers guests an unusual format of rest: to drink a cup of coffee with a view of the sea, visitors need to descend the rock in climbing gear and sit on a narrow wooden platform at a height of about 60 meters.

Photos and videos of the extreme coffee break are actively spreading in the Chinese segment of the Internet, writes RIA Novosti. For 398 yuan (about $58) guests receive not only a drink, but also a full set of equipment, insurance, as well as the accompaniment of an instructor. He helps during the descent, monitors safety and simultaneously acts as a guide and photographer.

According to the organizers, there are no strict time limits for visitors – you can enjoy the panorama as long as the weather and your own desire allow.

The reverse side of popularity

Experts attribute the popularity of the unusual coffee house to the high competition in the sphere of domestic tourism in China. Owners of restaurants, hotels and tourist facilities are striving to offer customers a unique experience that can set them apart from others.

However, travelers note: the more actively a place is discussed on social networks, the faster it turns into a point of attraction for mass tourists, which means that queues grow and the feeling of privacy decreases.

The holiday season traditionally boosts tourist traffic. In 2026, Chunjie (Spring Festival) occurred on the night of February 17. According to the Eastern calendar, the Year of the Fire Horse began, which will last until February 5, 2027.

The New Year travel period, known as “chunyun,” is considered the largest annual migration in the world. It starts two weeks before the holiday and lasts for 40 days. In 2026, the season began on Feb. 2 and will end on March 13 – a time when millions of residents head to their hometowns and tourist destinations record peak traffic.
