Inns in Sichuan, China

Discovering this Zen-inspired hotel nestled in the vibrant heart of Wenshu Monastery area was truly the most delightful surprise of my Chengdu trip! Stepping into the courtyard, I was immediately soothed by the grey tiles, white walls, dry landscape garden, and rustic wooden decor. The 'Buddhist Affinity' screen in the lobby and the Four-Faced Buddha statues exuded a tranquil Zen charm, and even the staff's 'Namaste' greetings were incredibly gentle. The room featured a Chinese Zen design with solid wood furniture and a tea set by the window. The bedding was so soft that I slept soundly all night, and from the balcony, I could catch glimpses of the traditional Western Sichuan folk houses in the alleyways. The location is absolutely perfect; it's a 5-minute walk to Wenshu Monastery subway station, surrounded by hot pot restaurants and snack stalls, and just a 10-minute taxi ride to Chunxi Road. Although the breakfast was simple, it was exquisite, offering vegetarian dishes alongside Western pastries, and even the freshly ground coffee was rich and fragrant. The staff also proactively recommended authentic local eateries and hidden gems. To find such a tranquil and conveniently located retreat in the midst of the bustling city, offering both serene Zen ambiance and easy access to urban life, is incredible value for money. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Chengdu!

I stayed here for three days, and every staff member and the owner remembered all my preferences and tastes, showing incredible attention to detail. All the rooms were clean, tidy, and cozy, feeling just like home. I felt so comfortable and welcome, and they even provided a lot of support and insights for outdoor activities. My three-day stay here was truly wonderful. I'll definitely be back and will recommend it to my friends. The place has a lively, authentic atmosphere, with plenty of people around in the evenings. I highly recommend it! If you're visiting Siguniang Mountain, this is a great spot to stay and dine – definitely worth checking out and saving. As a casual visitor, I can tell the owner has been running this place for many years with great dedication, making all the establishments feel so warm and comfortable.

This B&B is right at the entrance to the scenic area, and the hygiene is excellent. You can look up at the entire ******* village from your window. The hostess is so kind, enthusiastic, and incredibly efficient. What's even better is that she's also an experienced traveler herself, and she gave us so many great itinerary suggestions. She really gave us the courage to overcome altitude sickness and embrace the stunning beauty of the Great Northwest! After checking out, we adjusted our route based on her insider tips, and our trip was incredibly fulfilling. It truly showed us why Western Sichuan is called a 'must-drive destination in this lifetime' and opened up a whole new world for us. Hope we meet again someday, but even if we don't, I wish her a life full of joy and adventure! 🥰🥰🥰

✨ Ideal escape from the world, full of atmosphere As soon as I entered the door, I was amazed. The decoration style was very tasteful. Every corner was arranged very carefully, which was very suitable for taking pictures and punching in. The light is particularly good, and it is very pleasant to sit by the window in a daze. The landlord considered everything very thoughtfully, and it was very worry-free from check-in to check-out. This is not only a place to live, but also a haven that can slow down. After staying here for a few days, my mood has become very good, highly recommended! The landlord sister is very enthusiastic, and the reply before check-in is very timely, the details are full, and people feel very warm. The room is more exquisite and clean than the photo, the bedding is particularly comfortable, and the children at home don't want to come down as soon as they go up. The location is also very good, it is convenient to go anywhere, not only live comfortably, but also feel the kindness of going home. Next time I come here, I will definitely choose this one! “Thanks to the host for his hospitality.”

A truly satisfying stay, highly recommended! The hotel isn't very large, but it's a charming Tibetan-style courtyard, tucked away from the main street, making it incredibly quiet. The room was spacious, equipped with both underfloor heating and air conditioning, and was spotlessly clean and tidy. They even thoughtfully provided a foot-soaking tub. The owner was wonderful, so enthusiastic about picking us up, dropping us off, recommending restaurants, booking show tickets, and arranging transportation. We even spent an evening chatting over tea in the tea room, which was so cozy. I absolutely adored the two hotel cats; petting them was incredibly relaxing. This was definitely a wise choice for our two-day trip to Jiuzhaigou!

The entire courtyard is quiet and tastefully decorated. The room is a family-friendly one, located in the inner courtyard. The ambiance is excellent. The sofa area is separated from the bedroom. While not very spacious, it's comfortable and clean, with good air conditioning. The service was very friendly, including welcome fruit. They answered all questions, also known as ”Bi Lai.” The room also has its own cafe, and the Bingmei 15 is quite good. The downsides are that the water pressure from the electric water heater isn't very strong, and the mattress on the 1.5-meter king-size bed is a bit firm, but the 1.2-meter bed is fine.

During the National Day holiday, I looked at the itinerary and found that everywhere was crowded, so I took my children to travel during off-peak hours. The reviews for Shanglaoshe on the platform were very high, and when I saw that it was very close to my destination, Guanyin Temple, I decided to book a room there without hesitation. It was afternoon when we arrived at Guanyin Town. The map showed that the traffic on the mountain was extremely congested. We drove up slowly and found that it was difficult to pass other cars because the road was narrow. When we arrived at the hotel, the boss's big boy came down immediately to help us with all the luggage and upgraded the room. The boss is very warm and friendly. The location of the hotel is unique. You can see Guanyin Temple when you look up. Surrounded by mountains and overlooking Guanyin Town, the hotel has a delicate layout and a sanitary environment. Had a good quiet sleep at night. The next morning, we had a rich breakfast and went to Guanyin Temple. When we went down the mountain, there were already many tourists. I was glad that I chose to stay in Leshe for one night to avoid the crowds.

The hotel is in the great location and you feel like you moved in time. Room is clean and shower works well. Beautiful courtyard downstairs. Breakfast let us down. There was no fresh orange juice or average food. The room can get hot even with air conditioner on. I did not find it as an issue but if you plan to arrive in August or June it could be a problem. There is a cosy wibe in this place and we would come back. Price is excellent.

A summer trip to Emei Mountain was made even better by this hot spring resort's ”Summer Adventure” experience – a perfect choice for families with kids! The moment you step into the hotel, you're captivated by its forest-like environment – ​​the windows offer panoramic views of rolling green hills, and every breath is filled with the fresh scent of nature. Just a 10-minute walk from the scenic area entrance, you can easily return to the hotel for a relaxing soak in the cool spring pools after exploring the area with your kids, offering privacy and convenience. The biggest surprise was coinciding with the ”Summer Adventure” event! Saturday's hot spring fun was a paradise for the kids: water battles with splashing water, kayaking races for the whole family, and a ”South-to-North Water Diversion” game testing teamwork – the children were soaking wet from head to toe, yet still clamoring for ”one more round!” The butler service was impeccable: they proactively contacted us during booking, sending scenic area guides via WeChat; upon check-in, they provided children's slippers and mosquito repellent patches; and upon check-out, simply leave your room key in the room – completely freeing up your hands. The room has its own private hot spring bath. My skin felt so smooth after soaking in it. The butler told me that the hot spring water is radon from 3,000 meters underground, rich in 24 kinds of minerals. Even my fatigue was washed away.

The tearoom's decor is incredibly tasteful, with vibrant plants, exquisite tea sets, and soft lighting. It's such a relaxing and stress-relieving place to be! As soon as you walk in, you feel at ease. The greenery, decorations, and tea sets are all carefully chosen, and the tearoom has excellent natural light. You could easily spend an entire afternoon here without getting bored.
