{{disclaimer}}
Contrary to what one think, the place is full of abandonned place where you can sleep. I found for example an bunch of abandonned house with a room with hay: perfect to sleep !
But the best place ever will be Yuanjiajie international Youth Hostel (it can be located on some map). It is an abandonned hostel where you will find mattress, pillow, bed sheet, comforter and everything you need to spend a good night. From all my trip, it's probably the best abandonned place I saw.
The hostel is in Yuanjiajie area, close to the Mihun bus station. If you are there, take the road to the west. You will see it from the road (you can see that on the picture). It is just near a bus station so you can really easily go there to sleep and after waking up.
Once there, go to the back, there is a back door which is open. Once inside, you can open the front door. You will find inside the keys of the rooms. PLEASE ''Please take care of this place. It is pretty unique, we want it to stay clean.''<gallery widths=250px heights=200px caption="Pictures from the abandoned hostel">[[ImageFile:Hostel ZJJ (68).jpg|thumbAbandoned Hostel in the center of the park.File:Hostel ZJJ (3).jpg|240px|middleHostel is in a really good state (as of 2017)File:Hostel ZJJ (6).jpg|The entrance is on the back.
