From Xipu, Chengdu to the vast mountains and fields

Visiting Dujiangyan is a must when going to Chengdu in summer "Pay respects to the water at Dujiangyan, seek the Tao at Qingcheng Mountain" The millennium-old water conservancy project – Dujiangyan amazes people with the wisdom of the ancients Qingcheng Mountain is a great place to escape the heat; locals also enjoy creek tracing, playing mahjong, and soaking in hot springs here Panda Valley offers a close-up look at the adorable national treasure～ Chengdu–Dujiangyan has convenient transportation It takes about 20 minutes by intercity metro from Xipu Station🉑 Driving takes only about an hour This time, I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Tianhe near Xipu 【Location】 The location is very good, basically right above the metro. The hotel is a two-minute walk to Tianhe Station on Metro Line 2, just one stop from Xipu Station, close to the Western Sichuan hiking and mountain tourism distribution center, and it’s also very convenient to take the metro to Chengdu city center attractions~ 【Service】 The hotel service was pleasantly surprising; from the front desk to the restaurant, the staff were very enthusiastic and friendly, greeting guests in and out and responding to everything. Although the hotel’s rule that scissors must be used under staff supervision is hard to understand, it doesn’t overshadow the overall experience. 【Facilities】 Although the hotel is a bit older, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Compared to hotels in the city center, the cost performance is very high~ The restaurant has a small children’s play area, which is considerate for families traveling with kids. There is a terrace outside where I encountered a chubby little bird that wasn’t afraid of people, very cute. The laundry room management was lacking, but after feedback, the hotel staff handled it promptly. The gym is shared with the neighboring Atour Hotel. 【Breakfast】 The breakfast was average; personally, I found the soup noodles a bit salty. The fried eggs were mostly cooked fresh, which is a big plus since many high-end international brand hotels prepare them in advance and pile them up. The fruit was very fresh. Booking through Trip.com comes with DD taxi coupons, remember to ask the front desk to scan the code and claim them~
