A unique café experience awaits thrill-seekers at Gushi Cliff Coffee, located in the picturesque Gushi village of southeastern China. This extraordinary café offers coffee lovers the chance to enjoy their drinks 70 meters above sea level, all while taking in breathtaking coastal views.
On a recent adventure, Ye Kunkun bravely descended 130 meters (426 feet) down a towering cliff with the guidance of an experienced coach to savor a special iced Americano priced at 398 yuan (approximately $56). “Initially, I felt scared when I saw the cliff ahead of me, but my fear quickly faded as my coach led the way,” Ye reflected after her exhilarating descent.
The journey to Gushi Cliff Coffee involves a thrilling climb, where visitors are guided safely down the cliff to enjoy their drink amidst stunning scenery. The café is part of a broader initiative by local government efforts to transform Gushi village into a vibrant tourist destination, now featuring bubble tea shops, homestays, and camping sites.
For those daring enough to partake in this adventure, the $56 package includes not only the iced Americano but also essential safety gear rental, insurance coverage, and a unique filming experience during the 80-minute adventure.
With a generous grant of 1.5 million yuan ($210,000) from local authorities, Gushi Cliff Coffee aims to boost tourism and contribute to China’s rural revitalization efforts. This innovative approach combines adrenaline with culinary delight, offering visitors an unforgettable experience that blends nature and culture.
