Xiaojin Hot Springs Hotels

What a pleasant surprise for our first stop on our western Sichuan road trip! The room was incredibly clean and tidy, and the owner is very detail-oriented. There's even an oxygen supply in the room, and the service was amazing and super attentive! The hotel also has fantastic views, which was very therapeutic! The yak hotpot was the best we had on this entire western Sichuan trip! Highly recommend!!!

At present, Xiaojin County has the best hardware facilities. The boss and the proprietress are very enthusiastic. Although there is an elevator, they still help carry the luggage and send it to the room. This hotel is surrounded by its own orchard. Different fruits can be enjoyed for free in different seasons. We stayed in just plums and ripe bamboo shoots, and we were full for free. Afternoon tea and two cups of milk before going to bed were also given. When I left, I also sent a pack of drinks and snacks to eat on the road. The parking lot of my own is very large and there are charging piles, which is very friendly for self-driving tours.

This hotel exceeded my expectations! Even at an altitude of around 3300 meters, the diffused and nasal oxygen supply made breathing completely effortless. The hotel's setting is absolutely stunning, like a 'sky city' on the edge of a cliff with endless scenic views. There are so many great photo opportunities, often with rain, fog, and snow appearing together! 👍 After a shower in the evening, I was lucky enough to witness a double rainbow 🌈🌈 rising from the clouds in the mountains – what a thrilling and auspicious experience! The hotel service was excellent; the butler group was always responsive and communicative, making us feel very well taken care of. The in-room Bluetooth speaker was also fantastic, allowing us to enjoy pleasant music while admiring the beautiful sunrise and sea of clouds from the window. Both the hot pot and Chinese dishes were delicious, and returning from the scenic area felt just like coming home. The sunrise views were breathtaking for two consecutive days. Fantastic! 👍🌙

The snow-capped mountains at 9 AM were absolutely stunning! No need to get up early to chase the sunrise; it truly lives up to its nickname, ”Little Switzerland of Western Sichuan.” After searching for ages, I finally found a courtyard hot spring bath with a view. And it's a private courtyard bath for each guesthouse, so you won't be disturbed. The guesthouse has its own restaurant where you can enjoy local cuisine. As a Cantonese person coming from a city in the twenties (Celsius) to the sub-zero Western Sichuan plateau for the first time, I absolutely had to have some braised yak meat and matsutake chicken soup to warm me up. Soaking in my private courtyard hot spring bath in -8°C weather, gazing at the unbeatable snow-capped mountain scenery—this is what it means to have your eyes in paradise! Even at an altitude of over 3,000 meters, there's no need to worry. The guesthouse has oxygen cylinders and oxygen bags. Although it was my first time at such a high altitude, I felt mild altitude sickness, which was manageable. Especially when I felt unwell, taking a walk in the courtyard and breathing in the negative ions of nature made me feel much better! What's best about the guesthouse is the scenery; it's truly my ideal utopia. Every view from the room is a perfect shot. You don't need to spend money to go to tourist attractions to see snow-capped mountains, meadows, yaks, horses, and donkeys. Coming here to relax is incredibly therapeutic.

Li Bai Homestay in Siguniang Mountain is the most healing stopover at the foot of the snow-capped mountains! The staff meticulously marked the best times to photograph Haizigou and Changpinggou, and thoughtfully reminded us to avoid the morning tour group crowds so we could enjoy the morning reflections of Siguniang Mountain all to ourselves. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the room offer stunning views of the snow-capped mountains, and the freshly prepared daily noodles are both warming and comforting. Highly recommended to all mountain lovers – Siguniang Mountain is incomplete without Li Bai!
