Hidden Gem! A Personal Experience at Yashe Hotel in Chongqing's Western Suburbs

This time, I specifically chose the Yashe Hotel located in the western suburbs of Chongqing. As soon as I stepped into the lobby, I was enveloped by a rich atmosphere of literary elegance—wooden furniture, ink paintings, and even the faint scent of pinewood from the aromatherapy. The rooms are themed around 'Zen,' with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of lush green mountains. The bedding is so soft it feels like sinking into clouds, and at night, the only sounds are the chirping of insects and the distant, faint glow of city lights, providing a complete escape from the hustle and bustle. The most stunning feature is the hotel's rooftop open-air tea room. Here, you can order a pot of Chongqing Lao Ya tea and watch the sunset paint the mountains red. The staff thoughtfully prepared handmade osmanthus cakes to accompany the tea. Breakfast is freshly made Sichuan-style noodles, perfectly spicy, paired with vegetables freshly picked from the hotel's garden—unbelievably fresh. Upon checkout, the front desk handed me a handwritten card that read, 'The journey is long, Yashe awaits you,' and I was instantly touched by this warm gesture. If you're tired of the crowds at Hongya Cave, this place might just be the most unexpected delight of your Chongqing trip!
