Hotels in Qingcheng Piedmont Scenic Area, Dujiangyan

The room was very tidy; it's a shame I didn't get any photos because my little one immediately ran to the tent ⛺️. There's a buffet breakfast every morning, which I think ends before 10 AM – not very friendly for late risers like me! 🥳 There's also afternoon tea 🫖 every day. (Just a side note: since our child is quite young, we had both lunch and dinner at the hotel restaurant every day), and the food was really delicious. There's also a play area for children on the first floor, and you can even get game tokens from the front desk! (Our child was too young, so mom and dad played for him). On the day we checked in, the lady at the front desk gave our baby a mosquito repellent bracelet, which we absolutely loved. All I can say is: we'll meet again soon! (literally: 'Mountains and rivers will meet, we'll see each other again.')

Every summer, I come to Mount Qingcheng, and I've pretty much stayed at all the famous hotels and guesthouses here, with Six Senses being the only one left. So I decided to stay for a night. The reason I waited so long to try Six Senses is because of the mixed reviews online – some praise it to the heavens, others tear it down, making me hesitant to spend money unnecessarily. However, since I've practically stayed everywhere else, I finally gave in to the urge to check out Six Senses! Let me start with the conclusion: the experience was truly disappointing, even a huge letdown! Why? First, its location right next to the Qingcheng Mountain High-Speed Rail Station means there's no sense of secluded retreat at all, which completely undermines the Six Senses brand's reputation for seclusion. Upon entering, it felt hot and stuffy everywhere, not cool at all. This is because the vegetation around the hotel is too sparse, and the trees aren't lush, causing the ground to be scorched. It felt like I had entered a farmhouse guesthouse in Qingcheng Mountain town, completely lacking the ethereal charm of Mount Qingcheng. Moreover, the hotel doesn't have large water features, further diminishing any sense of vibrancy! To put it bluntly, it's not even as good as the adjacent Howard Johnson Qingcheng, which has an earthy charm that makes you feel refreshed and peaceful as soon as you enter. Furthermore, the overall design of the hotel is terribly poor; it's a maze with no clear hierarchy or aesthetic appeal. The room design is even worse, truly embodying the 'upscale farmhouse' aesthetic – neither ancient nor modern, neither rustic nor sophisticated. The interior space of the room is partitioned into small compartments, the lighting is dim, and the balcony is incredibly tiny and mosquito-ridden, making it impossible to relax and enjoy a vacation! The flow within the room is chaotic; the minibar and fridge are placed next to the bed, and when you want to turn off the lights for sleep, you can't find the switch, having to get up and go to the sofa to turn it off. The fan is impossible to turn off easily, and there are hardly any power outlets for phones and laptops! I don't know which designer came up with this anti-human design; it's as if they deliberately made guests uncomfortable! What's even more ridiculous is that the king room and garden room are designed with one above the other, making it easy to see people downstairs from upstairs! Is this to make it convenient for neighbors to visit? It's so 'down-to-earth' that it feels like living in a residential complex! Where's the vacation feeling in that? In short, the stay was very unpleasant. The room wasn't spacious enough, nor was it cozy! You couldn't comfortably lie down or sit up! The room design of Six Senses lacks the grandeur of Qingcheng Songpin, the style of Zuowang Senlin, the ethereal quality of Qingxia Shanju, and the层次感 (sense of layering) of Qingcheng Mountain Resort! However, Six Senses does have its merits, primarily its excellent service. Before check-in, they call to confirm, and after check-in, a butler contacts you, sending various reminders throughout your stay and assisting with booking complimentary services within the hotel. If anything is needed in the room, just ask, and it's delivered immediately. This aspect was quite satisfactory; the service can be said to be the best among all hotels in Qingcheng Mountain, and this alone lives up to the Six Senses brand. Also, the breakfast variety is quite rich and of good quality; the yogurt is homemade by the hotel, and the cherry tomatoes are homegrown. The only inconvenience is having to run up and down between floors in the restaurant to get food! To summarize, Six Senses is worth at most 1,000 yuan per night. Such a high room rate is simply overpriced and a rip-off. Staying there a second time would be a complete waste of money!

This was my first time visiting Mount Qingcheng, and I stumbled upon this hidden gem of a guesthouse. It's really close to Mount Qingcheng, right at the foot of the mountain. We drove ourselves, and parking right outside was very convenient. The place was spotless, not a speck of dust in the room. The large floor-to-ceiling windows offered a beautiful view outside. We're a bit older and usually have trouble sleeping, but the guesthouse was super clean and the soundproofing was excellent. The elevator was a big plus for convenience, and it was easy to hail a taxi right outside. The guesthouse's breakfast was nutritious and well-balanced, perfectly suited to our taste. The owner was also very kind and recommended many great places to eat. We also visited Western Sichuan, which I'd highly recommend.

Very warm, friendly, and helpful reception. Room is extremely spacious. Thanks to a complimentary upgrade, we’ve enjoyed the private hot spring (tub). The host also helped us with booking of tickets to Panda Valley. We left our luggage to visit Qingcheng Shan, and when we returned to pick them up before heading to Chengdu, we were gifted oranges and water for the ride. Breakfast is very food - the widest spread of selection amongst the many hotels and guesthouses we have stayed in Sichuan. A good base to explore Qingcheng. Highly recommended.

I took my mother for a weekend trip and chose the Xinyue Hotel, which provided an excellent experience throughout – perfect for a relaxing getaway in Mount Qingcheng. The hotel's location is superb. It's just a few minutes' drive to Mount Qingcheng, and there are many restaurants nearby, making it very convenient for finding food. We checked out Zhang Ciba and Bieyou Dongtian, both within a few minutes' walk. A stroll back to the hotel after dinner was incredibly pleasant. The high-speed train station shuttle service deserves special praise. The driver contacted us proactively in advance to inform us of the pick-up point. We were chauffeured in a comfortable Buick minivan, and the driver kindly helped with our luggage, making the whole journey effortless. There was a slight wait for check-in, but the lobby has a mini cafe. We ordered two sparkling waters to cool down, which made the wait quite enjoyable and relaxing. The potato chips in the room's mini-bar were absolutely delicious! In the evening, the hotel thoughtfully prepared a special pumpkin *laozao* soup, which was warm and comforting, and my mother loved it. We enjoyed a relaxing hot spring bath in the evening, and the hallway consistently offered warm lemon water – the attention to detail is truly impressive. The breakfast on the second day was also very tasty; I had the *zajiangmian*, which was incredibly delicious and highly recommended. Our dedicated butler was responsive and patiently answered all our questions. All the staff were friendly, gentle, and provided meticulous service. Upon check-out, we even received buckwheat tea as a parting gift, adding a lovely touch of ceremony. Overall, the stay was comfortable and relaxing, making it an excellent choice for a short leisure trip. You won't be disappointed staying here when visiting Mount Qingcheng. I've already recommended it to my friends.

Didn't expect this hotel to be so conveniently located for our trip to Qingcheng Mountain! It's right outside the scenic area. The hotel has a Chinese garden style, feels very new and clean overall, and the furniture looks quite luxurious. I especially loved the cozy design of the restaurant. There's also a small park by the lawn, perfect for a stroll. After hiking during the day, we came back to enjoy the hot springs, which was super relaxing and comfortable! On a side note, the cafe at the entrance is also highly recommended; the imported coffee beans really make a difference, and so does the ice cream! All in all, it's great value for money, and I'd definitely come back again.

We drove from Chengdu to the hotel... The journey was smooth, and the hotel was easy to find (just follow the navigation). I booked two king-size rooms with breakfast on Trip.com for around 560 RMB (checking in on Friday, checking out on Saturday). At check-in, the staff upgraded our room to an executive room! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ The hotel is huge and beautifully decorated inside. There's a bookstore, tea house, KTV, and gym (I saw it advertised but didn't go). There are also plenty of dining options: a buffet and Chinese restaurants (Deyuan and another one). You really don't need to leave the hotel to have a good time. 😉 Of course, our main reason for choosing this hotel was the outdoor hot springs. (It's a bit crazy to go to hot springs in this weather, to be honest 😅). Their hot springs don't open in the morning 😔, only from 2 PM (I thought it would be like Huashuiwan, where you can soak in the morning) until 10 PM. There are many outdoor pools to choose from, such as tangerine peel, rose, ginger, and mineral water pools... quite a lot (the names might not be 100% accurate, but they're close enough). The water temperatures also vary, from 35-40℃. I really think soaking in the hot springs here would be incredibly comfortable in spring or autumn. 👍 Soaking in the summer is definitely quite an experience! 😅 Another great thing about the hotel's hot springs is that you can change in your room or near the pools. It's very convenient to shower, wash your hair, and blow dry after soaking. The hotel even thoughtfully provides spin-dryers (so your swimwear isn't dripping wet) and plenty of disposable bags for wet clothes. Overall, these small details were very well considered (there's even warm water or lemon water available near the hot spring pools). The hotel's breakfast is from 7 AM to 10 AM, and the variety is incredibly rich! Super delicious! 🤩👍 All of the above was positive... now for some suggestions! 😂 1. The hotel doesn't have an indoor heated swimming pool, or even a deeper outdoor pool for swimming. Most of the pools are more like splash pads for children. 2. The 'robot delivery for in-room amenities' service is basically just for show. It's a nice idea, providing convenience for guests to scan a QR code and order daily necessities like water (4 complimentary bottles daily), slippers (2 complimentary pairs), etc. It seemed like a fantastic service, something I hadn't seen in a hotel before. But after you scan and place an order, it just says 'preparing' and stays that way until you check out. When you try to cancel, worrying the robot made a wasted trip, and call the customer service number provided, no one answers. 📞 I think the hotel's intention and creativity are good, but they should follow through. Or, as the front desk suggested, perhaps sometimes too many items are ordered for the robot to deliver. If that's the case, they could put a notice on their mini-program interface, so guests would be aware when placing additional orders. 😂 From initial excitement... to 24 hours later with no news. 😂

I finally found a place to stay on Mount Qingcheng that truly embodies the essence of Taoism: the Wuwei Homestay. This tea and coffee-themed homestay perfectly captures the tranquility of Mount Qingcheng and the core Taoist principles of 'wu wei' (non-action) and natural freedom. Nestled amidst the green mountains, opening the window reveals layers of picturesque peaks. The refreshing, earthy scent of the mountain breeze immediately transports you into a thousand-year-old Taoist realm, making all city noise dissipate. The public areas are exceptionally elegant. Enjoy a cup of Qingcheng Maofeng green tea or a rich Tai Chi latte coffee while quietly appreciating the view. The rooms are simple yet warm, with Taoist cultural touches evident in every detail. At night, I fell asleep to the mountain breeze and woke up to the birdsong of the forest. This is where fatigue melts away. The owner is humble and welcoming, integrating the Taoist charm of the mountains into daily hospitality. This isn't just accommodation; it's a fulfilling spiritual journey of 'seeking the Tao.' When visiting Mount Qingcheng, you absolutely must stay at Wuwei to immerse yourself in the harmonious beauty of mountain living – it's truly worth the trip.

We had a wonderful stay at Zunbo Forest Apartment Hotel. The place was incredibly clean and peaceful — surrounded by lush forest, it truly felt like a fairytale getaway. The air was fresh, the room was cozy, and the whole atmosphere was so serene and calming. It’s perfectly located if you would like to climb both the front and back side of the Qingcheng mountain. The staff were warm and helpful, and we especially loved the forest hot spring. We will be coming back with friends the next time we are in China — a perfect escape from the city. Highly recommended!
