Hi, which of the following 4 hostels/hotels are best in terms of location, near attractions, shopping, easy to get around by buses?
- Loft Design Hostel
- Dragon Town Guesthouse
- Jin Jiang Inn (WenShuFang)
- Green Tree Inn
How are the last 2 like as they do not have many guest reviews online? Thanks!
I only know the Green Tree Inn Hotel in Dongchenggen Shang Street - is this the one you mean? We stayed a couple of doors along but friends were in this hotel - a business hotel and it was fine.....clean, tidy, cheap.
Location is not too bad either, you can walk to a lot of local sights.
The Dragon Town Guest house sounds interesting - in a preserved Hu Tong area..... a bit of local culture rather than a staid business hotel.
Loft Design Hostel, Dragon Town Guest House and Green Tree Inn are not far apart. These three hostels are near Kuan Xiang Zi (Wide Lane) and Zhai Xiang Zi (Narrow Lane) which reflect the local culture. In the afternoon of each Saturday, there is a small market in Kuang Xiang Zi where some young people sell the handicrafts. As for Jin Jiang Inn (Wen Shu Fang), it is near the other attraction spot "Wen Shu Fang" and "Wenshu Monastery". Wenshu Monastery was built in Tang Dynasty but was damaged in Ming Dynasty. It was rebuilt in Qing Dynasty.
Hi thanks for your feedback!
A VTer recommended 3 others, which one is better?
- Yunlong Hotel (not Sichuan Yunlong)
- Zai Shui Yi Fang (http://www.cdzsyf.com/)
- Super 8
Are they near Chunxi Road (I read this is the centre), restaurants, etc? The second one looks not too bad but not many reviews, also their email address is not valid, and I cannot place their address on Google. It does exist right?
Is Yunlong Hotel you mentioned located at Luo Guo Xiang? If Yes, It is a 3-star hotel and it is about 20-30 minute walk to Chunxi Road. Zai Shui Yi Fang is located at Jin Li Dong Lu (Jinlidong Road) and it still exists. It is about 20 minute walk to Chunxi Road. The building where Super 8 is located is not only for the hotel. Some rooms in the building are for offices and residences. That is to say, someone thinks it is not quiet or safe. Super 8 is also about 20-30 minute walk to Chunxi Road.
Hi thanks for the useful info!
Do you know of any similar hotels nearer the Chunxi Road area?
Or are these areas where these are located also ok areas to be in?
Please check you E-mail.
Being a special guest, I visited the Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and managed to experience their very impressive museum with lots of exhibits of medicinal plants, animals, minerals plus historical art relating to TCM.
Wenshu Monastery is a Buddhist Monastery full of monchs and students and of course worshippers. It is the home of the Buddhist Association of Sichuan Province and Chengdu City.
Built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Wenshu Monastery was once called Xinxiang Temple. In 1681, during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Cidu, an accomplished Buddhist monk, came to the monastery. He built a simple hut between two trees and for several years lived an ascetic life there. Legend has it when Cidu was being cremated; the statue of Wensu (Bodhisattva Manjusri in Sanskrit) appeared in the flames, staying for a long time. So people regarded Cidu as the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva Manjusri. Thereafter, Xinxiang Temple became Wenshu Monastery.
Admission Fee: CNY 5
Opening Hours: 08:00 to 18:00
The website, I mention below, is only in Chinese!
Stretching back to ancient times, when Jinli Street was a busy area in Chengdu, Jinli street has been reconstructed within the past 5 years and it is now a tourist destination for pub/bars, tea houses, handicrafts, art and, of course, a Starbucks.
Anne and returned to Jinli Street in the early evening as it was close to our hotel and we wanted to try some of the fresh food that is cooked to order at one of the food stalls. The ingredients were fresh, the food was steamed and the entertainment of watching the cook play a tune on her bamboo drum instead of using a timer was excellent.
