Leshan Craftsman’s Lodge · Washan Secret Realm Vila
Heping Village, Yongsheng Township, Jinkouhe District, Leshan
The hotel is located in Yongsheng Township, Jinkouhe District, Leshan City, backed by the majestic and magnificent Dawa Mountain National Wetland Park. The location is no coincidence. The Craftsman’s Lodge team was attracted by the unique natural resources here: surrounded by mountains, shrouded in mist, with the table mountain wonder, and the air is refreshingly pure. By car: Leshan (2.5h), Chengdu (3.5h). By high-speed rail: 2h drive from Leshan Station, 1.5h drive from Jinkouhe South Station.
Drawing on the Craftsman’s Lodge brand’s consistent “secluded” aesthetic, the entrance may be low-key and subtle, but stepping inside reveals a different world. Relying on the billion-year geological wonders of Dawa Mountain, the cultural heritage of the Third Front construction, and the high-altitude ecological farm, 14 detached Villas are cleverly nestled among the mountain terrain. The architectural appearance strives to harmonize with the surrounding mountains, forests, and mist, preserving the original landforms and vegetation to the greatest extent.
As a high-end homestay pursuing quality and experience, Washan Secret Realm Vila has a small number of rooms with diverse types, each striving to have a unique scenic view, truly achieving “bringing the scenery indoors.” The restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling windows face the canyon, featuring a “Mountain Wild Seasonal Table”: making full use of the high-altitude specialty agricultural products and Chinese medicinal herb bases around Yongsheng Township, Jinkouhe. The menu centers on Leshan local specialties, such as spicy and fragrant Bobo Chicken, savory and rich Fengjiang Pork, smoky Washan old cured meat, medicinal herb chicken soup, and more, allowing you to taste the most authentic mountain wild flavors.
Hike and sightsee in the National Wetland Park to feel the masterful craftsmanship of nature; visit nearby villages to experience simple folk customs; brew a pot of aged tea in the Creek Pavilion tea room in the afternoon; the mountain spring water pool seamlessly connects with the distant mountains; make a micro-landscape with the housekeeper; enjoy afternoon tea or a picnic in the forest; when night falls, gather around the bonfire or fireplace to roast marshmallows and watch outdoor movies; if you’re lucky enough to catch the hotel’s “Dawa Mountain Starlight Music Evening,” it will definitely be the highlight of your trip!
