On the Internet you can find many articles about the “most uncomfortable store” working on a steep cliff at an altitude of 120 m. We decided to check if there is such a kiosk in reality.
The “most uncomfortable” (or “most dangerous”) store in the world is told by Russian (Techinsider, "Rules of life") And Ukrainian (TSN, "Channel 24","Focus") Media. Information about him can be found on Information Portals, entertainment sites and specialized resources About travel. Social networks (""VKontakte" Facebook*) and the Platform blog ("Zen","Picabu") They also discuss an unusual store and its possible assortment. Many of these articles and posts are accompanied by photographs of a tiny kiosk suspended to a steep rock.
Judging by Chinese reports Media, the store in question in the verified messages is located in the National Geological Park Sinyuchia. Extreme tourism lovers there are a variety of activity: complex routes for climbing and hiking, ziplasa and much more. On one of the routes called "VIA Ferrata"Tourists can really meet a small kiosk hanging on a rock - his photo is posted on site Department of Culture and Tourism of the Hunan province, where the park is located.
Chinese media writethat the store was built in 2017, and opened a year later. The unusual place was not chosen at all by chance: the kiosk is located on one of the climbers routes, it was for their convenience that it was open. Tourists They can get The store has one bottle of water for free, as well as buy additional drinks or SNECs, and, despite logistics inconvenience, at the same prices as in ordinary supermarkets. Kiosk is a room in size only 2 m2Where one employee works. To get to the workplace, the seller, like tourists, has to climb the rock. Sometimes, however, a store Circrats And at all without maintenance personnel, in this case, climbers can pay by scanning the QR code of the goods.
Since the kiosk was built for tourists, it works only in those hours when the national park is opened - from 8:00 to 17:00, and not at all around the clock, as they write in some sources. Probably confusion occurred due to the fact that in English-speaking articles this store is often called Convenence Storewhat can mean Both a small store of essential goods, and a round -the -clock minimarket.
Thus, in the National Park of Sinyuchia in China on a steep cliff, a kiosk really works, where climbers can buy water and snacks. It is not entirely true to call it the most inconvenient, since it was built exactly where the clients - climbers rising along this rock - are most convenient to replenish the reserves of water and food. In addition, this store is not at all round -the -clock, the clock of its operation coincides with the clock hours of the park.
