ParadiseXingyuan Hotel by Du Fu Thatched Cottage near Huanhuaxi
Adjacent to Du Fu Thatched Cottage and Huanhuaxi Park, just a 5-minute walk to Qingyang Palace. The rooms feature exquisite Chinese courtyard style. Wake up to birdsong and floral scents in the morning, enjoy tea in the bamboo courtyard at night—it's like living in a poem. PS: Must try their Sichuan cuisine restaurant—their Mapo Tofu is incredible!

Step downstairs directly into Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li for seamless shopping and dining. Don't miss the dan dan noodles buffet at the executive lounge—spicy, savory, and utterly addictive~
CharmHuazhu Hotel in Kuanzhai Alley
A hidden gem in Kuanzhai Alley, transformed from a traditional Sichuan courtyard. Sip tea in the courtyard while listening to street vendors' calls—this is old Chengdu at its best. The hotel concierge will recommend the most authentic local skewer spots nearby!
ThemeShangri-La Hotel Chengdu
