Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Convenience store offers relief for mountain climbers in Hunan
Shiniuzhai National Geological Park is located in Hunan, in Pingjiang
County. It is famous for Brave Men’s Bridge, a 300-meter-long glass suspension
bridge, and Ten Miles Cliff. Climbers of the cliff, mostly novices, ascend a
network of iron steps affixed to the steep cliff, using fixed cables for
support. There used to be a resting hut for climbers above 120 meters from the
ground. Several years ago, the hut was transformed into a convenience store
offering free water to climbers. In addition, it sells snacks and soft drinks
at compatible prices with stores on the ground. The 2-square-meter convenience
store is open from 8 am to 5 pm. The drinks and food at the store are carried
up by staff members each day. It is basically a self-checkout convenience store
except when there are many climbers. It is known as the most inconvenient
convenience store.
Enjoy seeing the photo and reading the article of this extraordinary
convenience store on the cliff.
