LLiziyuebaobeiI booked a great value package on Trip.com for May 4th-7th, with no extra charges! On our second day, a hotel staff member, Zhaxi, led us on a reconnaissance walk around the hotel (we were lucky to get one-on-one service as there weren't many guests). The next day, I took my parents to re-experience the 'hidden trail hike' at Banyan Tree Jiuzhaigou. We were fortunate it didn't rain, and the three of us walked for nearly two hours, taking breaks. Along the way, we not only breathed in fresh air from the vast forest but also enjoyed beautiful scenery.
Thanks to the F&B team for surprising my dad with a small birthday cake. At dinner, they also served longevity noodles and a special fruit platter (wild small cherries).
We had a very pleasant stay at Banyan Tree these past few days. Although its location isn't ideal compared to other Banyan Tree/Angsana properties, and there's a large area of unfinished buildings outside that are quite an eyesore, the hotel staff's service was truly impeccable and thoughtful. The chef would discreetly check in on us during meals and even recommended delicious wild vegetables. At breakfast, they would proactively pour our coffee. In short, Banyan Tree Jiuzhaigou might not have the best hardware I've ever experienced, but the staff's perfectly balanced service left a deep impression on me.
P.S. Since I was traveling with my elderly parents, after much consideration, I decided we would comfortably stay at the hotel for these few days, then check out and head to the Jiuzhaigou scenic area, stay there for one night, and explore the park for two days. This way, it wasn't too tiring.
Finally, I'd like to thank @Yan Zhaxi, @Rao Junqiang, @Pu Shuqiang, @Tao Xiaoqiang, and @Xiao Jiujiu (Xiao Zhou, Xiao Wu, Xiao Ye) once again for their warm service to our entire family during our stay.
