Hot Spring Hotels in Xiaojin

What a pleasant surprise for our first stop on our western Sichuan road trip! The room was incredibly clean and tidy, and the owner is very detail-oriented. There's even an oxygen supply in the room, and the service was amazing and super attentive! The hotel also has fantastic views, which was very therapeutic! The yak hotpot was the best we had on this entire western Sichuan trip! Highly recommend!!!

The snow-capped mountains at 9 AM were absolutely stunning! No need to get up early to chase the sunrise; it truly lives up to its nickname, ”Little Switzerland of Western Sichuan.” After searching for ages, I finally found a courtyard hot spring bath with a view. And it's a private courtyard bath for each guesthouse, so you won't be disturbed. The guesthouse has its own restaurant where you can enjoy local cuisine. As a Cantonese person coming from a city in the twenties (Celsius) to the sub-zero Western Sichuan plateau for the first time, I absolutely had to have some braised yak meat and matsutake chicken soup to warm me up. Soaking in my private courtyard hot spring bath in -8°C weather, gazing at the unbeatable snow-capped mountain scenery—this is what it means to have your eyes in paradise! Even at an altitude of over 3,000 meters, there's no need to worry. The guesthouse has oxygen cylinders and oxygen bags. Although it was my first time at such a high altitude, I felt mild altitude sickness, which was manageable. Especially when I felt unwell, taking a walk in the courtyard and breathing in the negative ions of nature made me feel much better! What's best about the guesthouse is the scenery; it's truly my ideal utopia. Every view from the room is a perfect shot. You don't need to spend money to go to tourist attractions to see snow-capped mountains, meadows, yaks, horses, and donkeys. Coming here to relax is incredibly therapeutic.

Highly recommended! The hotel is in a fantastic location near Changping Valley, with plenty of restaurants, cafés, and the food street within walking distance. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated in a Japanese style, and very comfortable. We especially loved the private hot spring, which was a wonderful way to unwind after exploring the area. The hotel also provides complimentary transportation to Shuangqiaogou and other nearby attractions, making travel very convenient. The free breakfast was delicious as well. Although there is no air conditioning and it felt a little warm for us as Malaysians, everything else was excellent. The price is slightly higher than average, but the overall experience made it absolutely worth it.

Li Bai Homestay in Siguniang Mountain is the most healing stopover at the foot of the snow-capped mountains! The staff meticulously marked the best times to photograph Haizigou and Changpinggou, and thoughtfully reminded us to avoid the morning tour group crowds so we could enjoy the morning reflections of Siguniang Mountain all to ourselves. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the room offer stunning views of the snow-capped mountains, and the freshly prepared daily noodles are both warming and comforting. Highly recommended to all mountain lovers – Siguniang Mountain is incomplete without Li Bai!
