About

Hiking through the mountains usually entails being far away from civilization, being exposed to the elements, and eating dry foods from zip-lock baggies.

That is, unless you're hiking in the vicinity of the Happy Valley of Xiling Gorge, where you can find a full-service restaurant perilously perched on the side of a cliff. If you don't look down, and swallow that feeling of vertigo, you can focus on the amazing views and local cuisine that the restaurant has to offer.

Discover your next hidden gem with the Gastro Obscura
