A Hotel for Every Traveler in Chengdu, China

Whether you’re a backpacker, budget traveler, or family traveling through Sichuan’s capital of Chengdu, Wen Jun Lou Hotel (located at 12 Qingtai Lu) has everything to meet your needs. This attractive courtyard-style hotel is situated on one of the more tourist-friendly streets in the city, surrounded by buildings in a similar Ming and Qing Dynasty style. The courtyard is a perfect place for tired travelers to relax with a drink and play a borrowed game of mahjong or just chat.

Not only is this a comfortable, clean, and affordable hotel, it is one of the most convenient places to stay in Chengdu. All major tourist attractions are within a short taxi ride that should not cost more than 10RMB. Within walking distance around the corner is one of Chengdu’s main attractions: Qing Yang Gong (Green Goat Temple). There are quite a few restaurants along the street for the more adventurous diner willing to try Sichuan’s more common fare. All eateries in the area are reasonably priced, same as the hotel. At the nearest end of the street there is a small grocery store for travelers to buy drinks, snacks, or hygienic products.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Their English skills are better than most in China, but language barriers still exist. They will write down any destination for you to hand to a taxi driver to ensure that you get there. They will also provide personal recommendations as to attractions to see and restaurants in which to dine. There is a tour service provided to destinations throughout Sichuan Province and into Tibet. The group tours are all in Chinese, but it is possible to book a private tour in English. For three people to Leshan the cost is 700RMB for a car and driver, 150RMB for a guide, and price for admission to any attractions. Private tours can be book as little as a day in advance and are catered to any needs of the traveling party.
