THE MONK UNDER THE MOUNTAINS

The hotel staff was very kind, especially xiaotian. She fetched us to and from the hotel when we arrived and were leaving, as well as to shuangqiao valley. When we arrived, they also made us a delicious bowl of noodles with their homemade chilli sauce. Finally, the view from the hotel was also very beautiful and we could see the mountains. We are super grateful to Xiaotian and the team ❤️

It was such a pleasant stay at this homestay. It felt like home away from home. The staff Ms. Tien was very friendly and helpful and she speaks decent English. The facility was beyond my expectations, the bed was so comfy, the view from the room was great and decoration was very nice. I really enjoyed staying here and I definitely will stay here again when my next visit to Siguniangshan.

This Hotel is awesome. The room is beautiful, clean and has complete facilities. The service is very good and the breakfast is so delicious. The view behind the hotel is so amazing. If I have the chance to visit there again, I will definitely come back to stay there again.

I’ve been here for two nights, and it was a very pleasant stay. The service was exceptional—the best I’ve experienced. The owner took such great care of me and was incredibly mindful and attentive. Highly recommended!!!!

The name on Trip.com is Siguniang Mountain Qingfeng Xiaozhu Homestay, but the actual name on the hotel sign is The Snow Journey Hotel or The Monk Under The Mountain. The room we stayed in had a bathtub right by the window, and when you looked outside, you could see the mountains and the river—so beautiful! During our 4-day, 3-night stay, we experienced both snowy views and views of the melting snow, giving us a variety of atmospheres. Every corner was perfect for taking photos, and in the mornings, we could just lie in bed and enjoy the view. ---- Details ---- In the room, there’s a bed that you can adjust to make it warm, so the bed stays cozy. The bathroom also has a heating system, which was great because it was below freezing when we went. After coming back from the cold outdoors, taking a warm shower was absolutely wonderful! The bathtub is the highlight of the room! Soaking in warm water while enjoying the beautiful view was totally worth it. They provide all the basic amenities you might need, and if you’re missing anything, you can pick it up at the lobby. They have a table with various items (near the "wish tree") that you can take for free. Or you can message them on WeChat to request anything. Upon check-in, the staff will serve you tea and snacks and ask to add you on WeChat for easier communication since they speak very little English. Communicating via WeChat was very easy and convenient, and they were very quick to respond and always offered help. The lobby has a fireplace, cozy seating, a dining table, and sometimes in the evenings, they play music or karaoke. The rooftop on the 5th floor has a place to sit and enjoy the view, along with a washing machine and drying racks, which is great for those staying for an extended period. ---- Services ---- The hotel is a bit off the main road, but the service is excellent. There are three staff members: a woman, a man (probably the owner), and a housekeeper. The woman takes care of everything from check-ins to preparing breakfast (which you can request for an additional 28 RMB per person), and even dinner. During our stay, we wanted to go somewhere, and if she was free, she offered to pick us up and drop us off. The care and attention were top-notch! ---- A Lovely Experience ---- The woman who took care of us was really sweet. When we went to the Four Sisters Mountain, she helped us book a car for 15 RMB per person. On the way back, I didn’t book a ride because I wasn’t sure when we’d leave the park, and I thought I could easily grab a Didi taxi. But I was wrong! I couldn’t find a Didi near the park, and to make matters worse, my phone died (from taking too many pictures). I ended up walking around trying to find a taxi, showing the hotel card and gesturing to the drivers that I needed to go back to the hotel. I finally found a taxi that agreed to take me back for the same price (15 RMB per person). The taxi dropped us off close to the hotel but got stuck behind a snowplow, so we had to walk the rest of the way. On the way, we spotted the hotel car and the woman who had been worried and looking for us. She was about to drive to the park to pick us up because she hadn’t heard from us, and we hadn’t replied to her messages. It was such a touching moment when she found us! 🥹 ---- Conclusion ---- If you’re looking for a place with amazing views, great prices, spacious and clean rooms, and service that feels like family, I highly recommend this hotel. Even though the location is a bit off the main road (and there aren’t many shops nearby), it’s definitely worth it. I’m planning to return for sure!

I am a Thai who has traveled alone in China many times. I must say that this hotel is one of the few hotels where the smell of cigarettes does not disturb my rest in the hotel. The service is family-like. Breakfast is local, such as rice porridge and many side dishes, noodles, bread that the hotel bakes itself every morning, boiled eggs and soy milk. The hotel helps me with almost everything I need, such as checking the bus schedule, calling a taxi to take me to various places, and providing necessary information. The location of the hotel is a bit far, but if you travel by public transportation from Chengdu, you can give the driver the address to drop you off in front of the hotel. On the way back, you can ask the hotel to call a taxi to take you to the station or arrange to pick you up at the hotel. It depends on the time you want to return. Because the hotel is deep, there may not be many shops or restaurants to choose from. But the view around the hotel is very beautiful. There is a small stream surrounded by mountains where you can walk and take pictures.
