Chengdu Outskirts | Qingcheng Mountain Idyllic Life at Shanding

| Qingcheng Mountain Idyllic Life at Shanding. Chengdu Outskirts | Qingcheng Mountain Idyllic Life at Shanding I had asked in advance if it was pet-friendly and if I could bring my dog by paying an extra cleaning fee, so I booked a suite with a terrace. One of the reasons this place attracted me is the lush and beautiful lobby. It did not disappoint, with its rustic furniture and tree shadows creating a perfect space. There is a large platform in the outdoor public area, and you can go directly down to the river by following the steps. I took my little dog to wade in the water, and she was super happy. The interior furnishings and window views of the room are actually quite ordinary due to the type of room (the rooms on our side are all mountain view rooms, which are blocked by other houses and don't have much scenery). The soaking pool is small and indoors. If you're looking for a view, I recommend the river view rooms, which have a better view from the windows. However, having a terrace is more convenient when you have pets. Afternoon tea and meals can be had in the lobby. The coffee is average, the food is okay, with tasty home-cooked dishes at reasonable prices. There are other farm stays nearby, so you don't necessarily have to eat here. In the evening, we even ordered barbecue takeout (which had many good reviews but wasn't tasty, with a lot of fake meat). Breakfast is a mixed platter of Chinese and Western styles, and they also serve milk, black tea, and orange juice, which made for a great experience. It rained during our stay, and the scent of grass and dew in the mountains was strong, with cool air. Sinking into a soft sofa, listening to the rain, occasionally flipping through a book or chatting, it felt like I could stay there all day. It's about an hour and a half drive from Chengdu, and the road is not too difficult, with some winding mountain roads towards the end. For friends who don't want to travel too far on holidays, Qingcheng Mountain is really a great choice. Whether you want to hike or just find a homestay to lie down, it's very suitable for emptying your mind and relaxing. Whether it's sunny or rainy, it feels different.
