Zhufeng Zonghe Fuwu Zhongxin (Qomolangma Service Center)

Description:

• Set off the road on your right, just after the turnoff, the service center, where you get your permit for the nature reserve, offers the best-priced rooms in town. Get a suite here, which is a bargain, and you'll be relaxing in a room with a lounge, two beds, and a mahjong table. The standard rooms are much smaller and only a tiny bit less in price. Bathrooms (private ones!) are clean and have flush toilets, something you won't take for granted after spending time in Tibet.
