I'd love to live here, falling asleep to the river every night. I've been planning this trip for a long time, with Wushan always on my collection list of places to visit around Chongqing. Finally, I made it to Wushan to enjoy its mountains and waters. After looking at many accommodations, I decided to choose one with a river view.
My friend and I chose the Yishui Lou Hotel, located in Zhuzhi Village in Wushan. It's nestled against layered green mountains and faces the mighty Yangtze River. When we arrived at Wushan Station by high-speed rail, the hotel had already sent someone to pick us up - so thoughtful!
Entering our room, a huge floor-to-ceiling window revealed the Wushan county town across the river and the deep blue-green waters.
I knew we had made the right choice. This was exactly the room we wanted.
✅ Infinity Pool: Swim where water meets sky, dance with cloud reflections, and capture stunning photos effortlessly.
✅ Children's Playground: Equipped with play facilities to give kids their own entertainment space.
✅ Private Courtyard: A garden full of flowers and plants, a perfect relaxation space to enjoy a cup of tea while listening to the river.
The excellent environment kicked off our vacation-style journey.
🗺️ Nearby Attractions:
❤️ Wushan Yangtze River Bridge: A 10-minute walk away, experience the majesty of "a bridge connecting north and south," with picturesque views at sunrise and sunset.
❤️ Visit the county's highest point and walk down its longest staircase. Taste various snacks along the way. Walk to Binjiang Road to check in at "I'm in Wushan," then find a restaurant to try paper-wrapped fish. Experience the vibrant atmosphere of the dock culture.
❤️ Return to Zhuzhi Village in the evening to photograph the layered night view of the county town across the river.

🌟 Staying here creates a sense of ceremony for your vacation, with mountains as neighbors and the river as a companion. It elevates your journey from mere "accommodation" to an "immersive stay." Falling asleep to the sound of the river at night and waking up to the first ray of sunlight and birdsong in the morning - this is the luxurious enjoyment gifted by the Three Gorges.
