Forget your average coffee run – Hangzhou’s newest caffeine hotspot is serving lattes and adrenaline rushes! A café perched on a sheer cliff in Zhejiang’s scenic hills is going viral for its 'climb-to-sip' policy, where visitors scale rock faces to earn their artisan brews. 🪨☕
Dubbed the ultimate 'grind before grind,' this spot lets adventurers swap hiking boots for chalk bags as they tackle routes (ranging from beginner-friendly to expert-level) before relaxing with matcha lattes overlooking misty valleys. \"It’s like a video game achievement – but with better graphics,\" one visitor posted on Weibo.
While safety harnesses keep things secure, the real challenge might be juggling your cappuccino while taking Instagram-worthy shots of the Thousand Islands Lake vista below. Pro tip: Try their signature 'Cloud Nine Cold Brew' – it pairs perfectly with post-climb triumph. 🌄✨
