The name of the guesthouse we stayed in is called Tina's Guest House - it's got incredible views of the gorge, a nice back porch with tables and rocking chairs, and excellent food. The people who run the place (Tibetans) and very friendly too.

It's at the western end of the gorge in the town there, right at the entrance where the bus drops you off. Margo charge 5 kuai to keep your bag as long as you need. You can then hike the gorge at your leisure and get back to Margo's by either minivan or on foot. | As for Taishan, I haven't been there yet but I imagine you can do a similar thing.
