Hotel dengan Sarapan Pagi di Dujiangyan

I liked the (Chinese-style) breakfast. The staff was helpful and they even took me down to the front of the mountain ticket office. The food at night (beef and bamboo shoots) was not bad. I stayed in the garden view room, with two single beds. The bed was comfortable. The tea in the room was really nice Maofeng tea. The style of the room didn’t scream luxury to me (not the quiet kind either). As for the location, I thought it would be nice to be in mountainous surroundings but it didn’t prove to be very convenient for my needs. I arrived on Friday and went to the front mountain on Saturday. Someone from the hotel very kindly dropped me off near the ticket office. A little aside: After visiting the mountain I decided on a spontaneous trip to Nanqiao (the south bridge) in Dujiangyan (I had not seen it at night on an earlier trip there). It was not that hard to find a taxi back, but keep in mind a small surcharge of 3.9% for taking you up the mountain). On Sunday I left the hotel too late as it was already very busy on the road to the back mountain ticket the taxi driver did not want to take me there (cause it would mean being stuck in traffic for hours either no compensation for all this waste of time) but offered to take me to The high speed railway station from which I could take a bus (passing hotel again!). Obviously the bus also ended up in a traffic jam, but in any case I did make it there in the end. Luckily I took my luggage and left it at a shop next to the foot passenger ticket office for 5 yuan. Unfortunately the hot water spring is only open in winter. They have a nice pool though. I enjoyed my stay but didn’t find it very luxurious although it is rare to have a hotel with a pool in China, so that was cool. At around 50 euros per night it was okay value for money.

A delightful experience! From the moment we stepped out of the wagon arriving at Six Senses, we were instantly delighted by the freshnesss of air and the vibe here. Simple yet so classy! Absolutely blown away by how it’s done and the seamless integration with nature elevated the whole experience of staying at SS to another level. e.g. the breakfast place was so enjoyable not only because of the food but also of the space design and program arrangement (there was a tai chi demonstration while we were having breakfast which I never would have thought to be so pleasing and peace-inducing!). I had to try the tai chi class afterwards and it was so refreshing, energizing and tranquil! A wonderful start to the day! The room was extremely comfortable and everything was immaculately designed and arranged. Didn’t have enough time to explore everything available for enjoyment at SS this time so I’m hoping to go again with my family as this place definitely can cater to all needs from toddlers to elderlies and with indulgence. The staff were attentive and showed great hospitality as you’d expect from the best. Special thanks to Hickey who looked after us during our stay and attended to all our needs promptly and made sure we had a brilliant time throughout. Also thank you to the staff at the front desk who packed us a box full of cookies to take onwards knowing that we were tired and peckish and leaving after a long hike at the mountain.
