The world's most inconvenient convenience store, hanging off a cliff

The Shiniuzhai Scenic Area in Hunan Province, China is home to the world's most inconvenient convenience store, a small wooden hut perched on the side of a vertical cliff, 120 meters above the ground.

Located right next to a terrifying cable-climbing route in Hunan, China, this unique convenience store used to be a climbing hut where climbers could rest mid-climb. However, a few years ago, it was converted into a special convenience store that provides free water to visitors and sells cakes, soft drinks, and juices at affordable prices. The store, which is precariously perched halfway up a cliff, has been open for years but only recently became famous after videos of it went viral online.

The world's most inconvenient convenience store, located in the Shiniuzhai National Geological Park in Hunan Province, China, serves tourists during the busy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, selling mooncakes and food and drinks to fuel mountaineers on their treks.

This is a small wooden shop located on a vertical cliff, 120 meters above the ground, and only one person can enter at a time. Climbers can access this shop by climbing iron steps fixed to the cliff. When it is time to restock, the staff contacts the department below and uses ropes to pull the items up.

Working at a height of 120m above the ground is an extremely interesting experience for the staff of the Geopark. The only inconvenience when working here is that the store does not have a toilet, so if the staff wants to go to the toilet, they have to climb down by rope. This is very inconvenient because sometimes there are tourists who want to buy things but there are no staff there, so the staff limit drinking water as much as possible.
