The nearest residential area is the Tungpu Villa. Unfortunately, during winter and summer vacation, it is mostly booked solid for China Youth Corp sorganized camps. Thus many people pitch tents by the villa to pass the night; at least it's a little easier to get water. Otherwise you have to stay in the Alishan area twenty kilometers away.
最近的住宿地點是東埔山莊，可惜寒、暑假多被救國團舉辦的營隊訂走了；因此不少人在山莊旁搭起帳蓬過夜，至少取水方便些；否則就要住到廿公里外的阿里山區了。
