Private Courtyard | A Half-Day Escape in Chengdu

Tucked away in the bustling alleys of No. 5 Jiangjun Street, Qingyang District, Chengdu, the Yinxitang Aesthetic Life Courtyard Hotel (near Kuanzhai Alley and People's Park Metro Station) offers travelers a serene sanctuary amidst the lively old city. Its prime location places it within easy reach of Kuanzhai Alley's vibrant local life, the lush greenery of People's Park, the cultural ambiance of Sichuan Art Museum, and the urban pulse of Tianfu Square—yet it remains a hidden gem in the heart of the metropolis. Finding it feels like a delightful little adventure. Passing through an ordinary parking lot gate and rounding a corner, the noise of the city suddenly fades away. Before you unfolds a refreshing sight: a verdant courtyard that serves as the soul of this space. Every inch is thoughtfully designed—a small bridge rests quietly over a pond reflecting stone lanterns, while lush plants add vibrant touches of green. Stroll along the corridor, and at its end, you’ll discover an elegant tea room with wooden tables, bamboo chairs, a chessboard, and the subtle charm of books and ink. Without effort, a Zen-like tranquility naturally permeates the air. The complimentary afternoon tea that comes with your stay arrives at just the right moment. Invite a few old friends to sit under the eaves. A gentle breeze carries the fragrance of early summer flowers as you sip tea and chat idly—time slips away unnoticed over a cup. The courtyard’s peace seems almost magical, filtering out the clamor of the world and leaving only a refreshing calm in your heart. The guest rooms are simple yet practical, with long corridors bathed in natural light, creating an airy and bright atmosphere. At Yinxitang, what truly captivates isn’t grand architecture but this ingeniously crafted oasis in the city’s hustle. Though the urban noise ebbs and flows like tides, the courtyard remains as tranquil as poetry—this is the life aesthetic of Yinxitang.
