    Story of Mix Hostel

    "Mix & Backpackers' Guesthouse", Hwang Said,"is not bad".

    It was a sunny day in spring, Hwang and I were sitting beside Fu river, there were couple of tea houses. Hwang is my Korean friend, we met in travel. After 8 months, I finally found an independent building which i can afford the rent in Chengdu, and it's time to discuss a name for this new hostel. Hwang gave a name as "Mix & Backpackers' Guesthouse", I have no disagreement.

    After being a backpacker for quite a while, I think it's time to start a place with all the ideas backpacker oriented. Therefore hostel began to convert. This building used to be like a garbage house, typical Chinese toliet style tiles decorated, but we determine to change it!

    What does a backpacker really need? We don't want to even pay a extra cent on which we don't need. The standard requirement is as following: a clean bed, 24 hrs hot shower, western toilet, book swap, internet access, friendly staff, chill out atmosphere and a cup of real coffee. But in Mix we actually offer more: bed comes with a small shelf for your shampoo, a hook and hanger for your towel and clothing; Air-conditioner equiped in most of rooms, for thosewho against air-con at all they may choose to stay in room with fan; internet access is not enough, 24 hours Wifi transmission really benefit laptop users; many lonelyplanet guidebooks free for our guests to read or have it photocopied; great music Mix collected from travels, no backstreet boy and brettney at all! The smell of western breakfast and Cappucino wake you up in morning; cheap tours take you to see Panda or experience the local cultural activities like Sichuan Opera; 24 Hours open DVD room with hundreds of DVD movies; cold beer with characteristic interior design in Chinese traditional style blended with minority style makes you feel living in an exotic place ever.

    A year quickly passed, and more and more people get to know Mix and Backpackers' Guesthouse. But we think it's too long to remember, thus we changed this name, and make it easier to remember: Mix Hostel
