Complete Guide to Staying at Ruijing Hotel in Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area! Tested Pitfall Avoidance Tips

After enjoying the benefits of staying inside the Huangguoshu Scenic Area, Xiaoqikong decisively locked in accommodation within the scenic area! Originally planned to stay one night, but arrived after 9 PM exhausted from Huangguoshu, so extended the stay to two nights~ This move turned out to be amazing, here’s a super detailed experience guide to help you avoid 90% of detours! ✅ Hidden Benefits of Staying at Ruijing Hotel 1. Ridiculously Convenient Transportation Hotel staff pick you up directly at the East Gate, and you can catch the exclusive shuttle bus within a 1-minute walk (it stops right next to Building 9 of the hotel), no need to queue at the main entrance! If you start before 7 AM, you can have the Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge all to yourself (early opening is only during peak season in July-August, so now is freer for early visits~) 2. The Best Route is to Walk Backwards Almost got misled by online advice saying "West to East is easier"! Tested personally, going East to West uphill is half as easy as Huangguoshu Tianxing Bridge, with flat trails and unbeatable scenery all the way, even lazy travelers can handle it easily~ Correct route: 🔸 Take the hotel shuttle to Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge → walk uphill visiting spots → take the shuttle from the transfer station to Wolong Pool → finally return from Wolong Pool transfer station to East Gate (staff will announce the route, no chance to get lost!) 3. No Need to Climb Long Slopes When Leaving Visitors staying outside have to climb a long slope with a conveyor belt and then take a detour to exit. Ruijing guests just call the hotel, and the hotel car will pick you up at the East Gate. After 3 hours of play, you can go back to your room and relax—this is how a vacation should be! 🚫 Pitfall Warnings Inside the Scenic Area ⚠️ Ridiculously High Prices Mizone/Hi-Tiger drinks sell for 12 RMB/bottle (8 RMB in regular scenic areas), so it’s recommended to bring your own drinks and snacks! Hotel restaurant prices are 30%+ higher than other scenic areas, and the taste is just average. If you want a better deal, ask the driver to take you out of the park to eat and then pick you up again (advance notice required). ⚠️ Dryer Shortage The scenic area is very humid, so clothes often get soaked, but the hotel only has 2 dryers, and one drying cycle takes 2 hours. It’s recommended to use them during off-peak times or bring quick-dry clothes! 🌟 Travel Tips • Popular Photo Spots: Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge and Wolong Pool Waterfall are crowded with people taking photos, so arrive before 8 AM to avoid tour group peaks. • Mandarin Duck Lake Boating: If you want to try it, remember to bring tissues to wipe the life jacket. It sticks to your body on rainy days, and paddling on sunny days makes for better photos. • Outfit Suggestions: Light-colored dresses and straw hats make great photos, but be sure to bring an extra set of clothes because you will definitely get wet playing in the water! 📝 Summary Highlights Staying inside Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area is truly wonderful! Ruijing Hotel’s location is perfect, making your trip 10 times easier than staying outside~ Remember to walk the route backwards + bring your own snacks + use the dryer off-peak to unlock a heavenly experience! Don’t believe the online rumors that "the path is hard to walk"—it’s actually 100 times easier than you imagine. Just go for it!
