[2025 Qionglai Hotels] Travel Guide for Cheerer Lake Hotel (Updated Jul)

"Healing moments hidden by the lake｜Sleep under the stars at Sheraton and wake up to morning dew and birdsong" I stumbled upon Sheraton Lakeside Hotel's recommendation page by chance and was instantly struck by the phrase "Not far from the city, yet close to nature." Escaping the concrete jungle over the weekend, I unexpectedly encountered a slow-living aesthetic here. 🌿 **Stay in a Picture-Frame Room** The floor-to-ceiling window room with a lake view was a delightful surprise! Drawing the curtains in the morning, the misty lake resembled spilled ink wash, while by evening, it transformed into a golden-speckled oil painting. The room's wood-toned design harmonized with nature—even the bathtub faced the lake. Watching wild ducks glide across the water while soaking, I almost felt like part of the scenery. 🚣‍♀️ **Lakeside-Only Experiences** · Must-try free kayaking! Drift to the lake's center and lie back—the clouds seem close enough to touch. · The butler-recommended lakeside cycling route is stunning, leading through reeds to a secret wildflower-covered slope. · Bonfire gatherings at night, sharing stories with fellow travelers, the sweetness of roasted marshmallows mingling with the crackle of firewood. 🍽️ **Little Joys on the Tongue** Who knew this hotel served Qionglai's signature breakfast delights? Unbelievable! [Awesome][Awesome][Awesome][Awesome] Creamy broth noodles, spicy chicken in chili oil, and freshly wrapped black pork wontons. If city life leaves you breathless, come here to be a "lakeside resident" for 48 hours. Sheraton's true treasure isn’t Instagrammable spots but its magic of slowing time to half-speed.

Highlights: AAA-level attractions, free admission, good quality and low price, you can spend with confidence! Reasons for recommendation: 🩷There is a boat trip, suitable for family and friends to play. The river is wide, and it is very comfortable to sit in the boat to drink tea, chat, enjoy the scenery and take pictures. The average price per person is 60 yuan if you don’t share the boat, and 10 yuan if you share the boat, but the waiting time is very long. ❤️The artistic conception of small bridges and flowing water, whether you are drinking tea under the quaint buildings or walking in the quaint town, has a unique charm [Chukle] The streets are lined with traditional western Sichuan houses, with wooden doors and windows, and carved beams and columns, all of which show the quaint beauty of the ancient town. 🧡The delicious food in the ancient town is also a highlight. There are various authentic Chengdu snacks here, such as the spicy and delicious Chuanchuanxiang, the soft and sweet Tangyouguozi, and the smooth and refreshing Sad Jelly. The price is affordable, but the taste is very delicious. There are also many special handicraft shops in the ancient town. 💛The ancient town at night has a unique style. The bright lights illuminate the entire ancient town. The colorful lights are reflected on the river surface, like a dream. 🩵Transportation strategy: You can choose 💖 high-speed rail. The high-speed rail from Chengdu to Qionglai is almost always available, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to book a high-speed rail ticket. After getting off the high-speed rail, you can choose to stay at the Xiruida Lakeside Hotel, which offers free pick-up and drop-off at the high-speed rail station. The service and environment are both good. We went there mainly for their breakfast. 💙Other tips: There are many teahouses and chess and card rooms in the ancient town, but you can go back to the Xiruida Lakeside Hotel for entertainment. They have a complete sky garden on the 4th floor. If you don’t spend money in the ancient town, you can take photos and check in. The ancient town is very large, especially suitable for taking photos in cheongsam and Hanfu! !

Have you ever been curious about the land beneath our feet? Want to know how it has gone through billions of years of changes to form its current magical appearance?

Each fossil contains a wonderful story about the origin and evolution of life, waiting for you to explore and interpret. The museum also displays the unique geological structure of Tiantai Mountain, the formation of the three-level terraces and the environmental characteristics. Chengdu Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area Due to the undulating terrain in Sichuan, the southeast monsoon from the Pacific Ocean and the southwest monsoon from the Indian Ocean, carrying warm and humid air, meet the cold air from the western Sichuan Plateau here. The huge difference in terrain has blocked the advance of warm and humid air currents, forcing water vapor to rise and forming abundant orographic rainfall, making the annual precipitation in Sichuan very abundant and forming a unique western China rain screen belt. Chengdu Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area is located in this Western China Rain Screen Belt, which creates a cloudy and foggy phenomenon and also creates the wonderful landscape of the sea of ​​clouds in the low mountains of Tiantai Mountain. 👉【Itinerary】: Day 1: First, go to the hotel to check in after you have processed your ticket at the visitor center; then go to Xiaojiawan, visit the Firefly Micro Museum, check in at the Tiantai Mountain Gate, and then walk to Changhong Waterfall, Xiangshuitan Waterfall and other attractions.

A paradise for photography lovers If you want to exclude old photos that are full of stories You can’t go wrong choosing here! I drove there with my friends in April this year.

Looking at the price list, the price is really good. You can bring your own tea for only 2 yuan, and other scented teas at Maofeng are also very cost-effective. Maybe it’s because most of the customers are the elderly, so the boss pattern is evident. There is a big river in front of the teahouse.

I always think about taking a walk around the nearby areas, away from the busyness and pressure of work, to feel that desirable atmosphere. This time, I planned a trip with friends and we went to the charming Qionglai. We stayed at the beautiful and serene Sheraton Lakeside Hotel, which added a touch of comfort to our journey. Our first stop was the famous Pingle Ancient Town. Unlike other commercialized ancient towns, Pingle Ancient Town has a rare and precious atmosphere , exuding a unique sense of life everywhere. In the ancient town, many Ming and Qing dynasty buildings are scattered in an orderly manner, the smooth bluestone roads bear the traces of time, and the mottled stone bridges seem to tell ancient stories. Walking through it, a feeling of tranquility quietly rises in the heart. This time in Pingle Ancient Town, we were very fortunate to encounter a lively dragon dance event. Many Hanfu performers paraded on the bridge, their clothes fluttering as if they had traveled from ancient times. There was also a passionate electronic music festival, where dynamic music collided with the ancient town's simplicity, creating a unique spark. The ancient town at night has a different charm, with soft lights casting on the old buildings, making it beautifully intoxicating. At this moment, the ancient town seems to transport people back in time, immersing them in a dreamlike atmosphere. 🍜 The food in Pingle Ancient Town is also not to be missed. The rich broth noodles, the fragrant Bobo chicken, and the tender river water tofu, every bite is unforgettable.

When I first saw the name of the city "Qionglai", I looked it up in the dictionary to figure out its pronunciation. Following its pronunciation, I slowly walked into its story. It turned out that this is the place where the love between Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru began. On the banks of the Baimo River a thousand years ago, the woman who dared to break free from the feudal shackles resolutely pursued her love along the rippling river. Upon deeper understanding, it turns out that this city has a history of 2,300 years, and it has left a strong mark at many important moments in history! Qionglai is the first place in the world to discover and use natural gas, which is more than 600 years earlier than European countries. In ancient times, Qionglai was called "Linqiong". The use of natural gas opened up an important era of salt and iron smelting in history. Today, Qionglai still occupies an unshakable position in China and even in the world! Qionglai is known as the hometown of raw liquor. 70%-80% of the raw liquor for my country's liquor brands comes from here, and it even affects the liquor industry in other countries in the world. This is also the largest firefly base in Asia. From April to October every year, the Qionglai Tiantai Mountain Firefly Base attracts countless domestic and foreign tourists. There is also the Western Sichuan Bamboo Sea, Pingle Ancient Town, and Jiaguan Ancient Town, which is known as the Little Jiangnan of Sichuan... Qionglai milk soup noodles, Bobo chicken and various other delicacies are also mouth-watering. Qionglai is about 70 kilometers away from Chengdu. It takes half an hour to get there by high-speed rail, or about an hour by car. The transportation is very convenient. As the best destination for short-distance travel, Qionglai provides another leisure lifestyle for tourists from Chengdu and all over the country! Enjoy your trip to Qionglai. If you want to deeply experience the charm of this city, you can eat and stay at the first bridgehead in southern Sichuan, on the banks of the Nanhe River. This is the only way for the Sichuan-Tibet Highway 318. It was once a fortress on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road and it still maintains its prosperity and diversity today. If you stay here when visiting Qionglai, you can appreciate the charm of water and the beauty of Nanhe River. When the weather is clear in spring, you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance; in summer, you can watch the sunset and meteors... The breakfast at Xirida Lakeside Hotel is very warm and exquisite. The healthy and green breakfast concept integrates the Qionglai food culture. There are milk soup noodles, Bobo chicken, black pork wonton, handmade pancakes... The black pork wonton has a unique taste. Once upon a time, tourists from Mingshan, Chengdu, and Meishan drove here specifically for breakfast. If you also like Qionglai's landscape, Qionglai's humanities, wine culture, tea culture... then you must take some time to bring your family and friends to Qionglai for a visit and give yourself a good vacation!
