The two gentlemen and the lovely lady at the front desk were all wonderful! They promptly helped me with any issues I had, and even offered pick-up and drop-off service for me and my luggage at the ancient town park entrance. I was also pleasantly surprised with a welcome fruit platter! The guesthouse offers great views of Dujiangyan and is in an excellent location, away from the crowds. The room even had a hot spring tub, which was perfect for a relaxing soak. The only minor downsides were the soundproofing, as I could sometimes hear noise from outside at night. Also, the air conditioning seemed to have been set on a timer by the previous guest. It turned off at 3 AM on the first night before I even fell asleep, and I started getting hot. However, the staff quickly came to fix it. The second night, it stopped again at 4 AM, waking me up from the heat, so I had to get up and turn it back on myself. I initially thought breakfast would be a buffet, but it was a set meal served on a tray. You could ask for more if needed, but I only enjoyed the congee and the sausage slices. I wasn't a fan of the milk, buns, preserved vegetables, or pastries. The guesthouse is a short walk along the river to the main entrance of the Dujiangyan scenic area, about 5-8 minutes, and the scenery is beautiful. Compared to the crowded scenic area during the day, it's much quieter and more picturesque in the early mornings and evenings. The ancient town path leading to the guesthouse is fantastic for an evening stroll, very beautiful with many shops and delicious food stalls. The hotel's own restaurant has slightly pricier dishes, but the portions are generous and very tasty. I ordered the spicy rabbit and ginkgo chicken soup, both huge servings. The stir-fried greens were also delicious! And you can request extra spice! As someone from Jiangxi, I found it spicy enough! Without added spice, it might be more to the liking of foreign guests, and I noticed quite a few foreigners dining there.
