A top-notch hotel at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, with a minimum price of 3,000 yuan per night, but demand exceeds supply. What is its charm?

With the progress of life, for people who travel, traveling is no longer just about running between scenic spots. Sometimes, you can find a resort hotel to lie down and take a break from the boring life. It is also a different kind of leisure. There are many top hotels in the world, and I have to say that any one of them can make people feel amazing, but if you have not been to Six Senses Hotel, it will be a regret. Anyone who knows Six Senses hotels knows that, in addition to the love story behind the business, they are generally opened in places that are inaccessible and in harmony with nature, especially in well-known resort islands such as the Maldives, Seychelles, and Fiji, where they are always indispensable. However, its first step in China was to change the norm. Instead of choosing the usual sunshine and beaches, it chose forests and mountains. This is the Six Senses Hotel located in Qingcheng Mountain, Chengdu.

Although the hotel is located in Qingcheng Mountain, it is not deep in the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain, less than two kilometers away from the Qingcheng Mountain High-speed Railway Station. Although it is next to a busy street, you can't hear the hustle and bustle of the outside world at all from the moment you enter the hotel. At first glance, you don't even think it is a hotel, but like a Western Sichuan folk house hidden in the jungle, with only some buildings slightly exposed. It was raining slightly when I went there, which made the hotel even more quiet. This is probably the reason why "it's hidden in the city".

All Six Senses hotels around the world are focused on integrating into the local area, and Six Senses Qingcheng Mountain is no exception. As a famous Taoist mountain, Qingcheng Mountain’s Taoist culture naturally became the source of design inspiration for this Six Senses hotel. , whether it is a round window coffin or a pentagonal chair, they are all metaphors. The entire hotel has 102 suites, 19 single-family villas and 1 presidential villa. No matter which room type it is, it has an independent door. Especially the single-family villas have a sense of private courtyards in Sichuan in the past.

Six Senses has a unified standard for the interior of the room: the entire room is mainly made of logs. Not only the bolted doors and windows are made of wood, but also the sofas and ceiling fans, and the color is lighter than the wood color of the building. The furniture made of original ecological materials such as rattan, linen, and cotton is simple but not complicated. The seemingly simple furnishings contain countless details, and you can feel the primitive beauty of returning to nature.

After entering the door, you can see the welcome fruits and congratulations. Many guests who check in for the first time "dislike" this congratulations. They feel that the handwriting looks like a child's. You can't find one in such a big hotel. Is it written by someone who can write well? If you think this way, the general manager of the hotel may feel sad. As a foreigner, it is not easy for him to write this paragraph. As long as he understands what he means. In addition, the hotel's drinking water is also a major feature. Not only do they use recycled glass bottles, but the drinking water inside is also produced by the hotel itself, which implements the hotel's environmental protection concept. It is worth mentioning that the hotel not only provides free drinking water, but also free drinks and snacks in the minibar. This alone is much more generous than many hotels. If I spend several thousand yuan to stay in a hotel, I can only drink a bottle of beverage. There is an extra charge, which will affect the experience.

Another interesting thing is that although the entire hotel is divided into different levels of room types, with the lowest being 3,000 per night and the more expensive ones costing tens of thousands, all rooms are implemented according to this standard. There is no differentiation, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a basic room or a suite just by looking at the room. However, the suite either has an independent courtyard or a double-storey loft, which is more suitable for large families with a larger number of people, and for those with a smaller number of people. Even if families live in basic rooms, they can still enjoy every detail of Six Senses without any compromise.

Of course, expensive ones definitely have their advantages. For example, there is a private swimming pool outside the swimming pool suite, and there is also an outdoor tea table. Whether you are playing in the water in summer or just sitting and listening to the rain, you can enjoy it without leaving home. You can also enjoy the leisurely outdoors. However, guests in the basic room type have nothing to worry about. The interior of the basic room type is also 80 square meters, which is already more spacious than most hotel rooms.

Six Senses originated from the Maldives, and the food naturally has a touch of Southeast Asian style. Six Senses’ Thai restaurant is Sara Thai. In addition to continuing the hotel’s inherent style in decoration, it is also quite modern: this is a The ring-shaped restaurant is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. No matter where you sit, it will not affect your view. The most noteworthy thing is the top floor of the restaurant, which is the highest point of the entire hotel, overlooking the panoramic view.

Since Six Senses is a hotel that pays attention to details, the restaurant is no exception. In addition to the exquisite and delicious dishes, the chefs of Sarah Thai Thai Restaurant are all from Thailand, whether they fully meet the guests’ preferences or not. , does not affect that it is the most authentic Thai taste, especially Tom Yum soup, the sourness can really whet your appetite.

In addition to the Southeast Asian cuisine from its origin, Six Senses naturally also introduces authentic Sichuan cuisine after integrating into the local area. The Chinese restaurant at Six Senses is called Purple Air Garden. Purple air comes from the east and is peaceful. It not only contains auspicious meanings, but also matches well with its Chinese-style architecture. If you go for dinner, lanterns and cloister palace lanterns will be lit up to show the atmosphere. It has a strong Chinese style.

The dishes also pay attention to the cooking methods of Sichuan cuisine. They need to be full of color, aroma and flavor. They not only have to taste good, but also look good. This is the perfect dish. Among them, the steamed grouper is highly recommended. Not only is the meat delicious, it also has no fishy smell at all, and the heat is just right. The beef was not ordered from the menu. I told the people at the restaurant that I wanted to eat beef, and they cooked it for me. I don’t know if it’s a hidden menu, but the service is enough anyway.

If you don’t want to wait for food in the restaurant, you can also take a break in the lobby outside. Just tell the restaurant your meal time in advance, and then go there without waiting. Enjoying authentic Sichuan cuisine is what vacation life should be like.

If you have time in the afternoon, you can also enjoy afternoon tea, a mixture of sweet and salty snacks with rock sugar bird's nest. This is how a perfect afternoon begins. Next to the afternoon tea is an ice cream shop, all homemade in the hotel. Ice cream has a taste that is not inferior to any big brands, but they are both available for a limited time. They are usually sold out or after 5 o'clock, so you must pay attention to the time if you want to try it.

The fun of a resort hotel lies not only in lying down in your room or eating and drinking in the restaurant, but also in enjoying the hotel's ancillary facilities, the most worth mentioning of which is the Six Senses Spa. Six Senses has fourteen spas around the world, which are closely connected with the hotel but independent of each other. Who doesn't want to have a spa while on vacation? The spa at Six Senses Hotel Qingcheng Mountain is the largest building in the hotel. Its design concept not only integrates traditional Chinese medicine, but also ancient astrological elements. It looks grand and mysterious. The spa uses local living water and rocks from Qingcheng Mountain. Using special techniques, people can relax both physically and mentally here.

In addition to doing SPA, there is also a special handicraft experience, which is to follow the physical therapist and make medicine packs with different Chinese herbal medicines. Generally, they can be used to make cold repellent or dehumidification. Now in summer, it is natural to dehumidify. , although it is not difficult to make the medicine bag, it can give you a sense of personal participation and interaction. You can throw it in the bathtub and soak your feet or take a bath, which is very convenient.

Six Senses not only has a spa, but another unique feature among the ancillary facilities is the organic farm. Adults or children living in the city now face the reinforced concrete city life every day, but they seem unfamiliar with the farm. And the unfamiliar, hotel-farm-like pastoral life is the best life contrast for these urban elites, and people can't help but enjoy it.

There are a lot of chickens and ducks raised on the farm, and they are very vigorous and vigorous. They are well-fed at the hotel, but they are not just for viewing. In the morning, the children can play with the staff in the The guide takes a basket to the farm chicken coop to pick up eggs, and then hand them over to the chef to cook. This is not only a child's game, but many adults also find it novel. This is where the pastoral joy lies.

At the same time, many crops are also grown on the farm. If you are interested, you can participate in labor in the organic vegetable garden. Many of the various raw materials in the hotel restaurant are "self-produced" from organic farms. "Sales", guests can also taste vegetables picked by themselves, which is another new and different experience.

Recently, many urban outdoor facilities have been built in organic farms. Children can play with the company of their parents. This not only increases the relationship between parents and children, but also strengthens children’s physical exercise. After all, Nowadays, many children have developed the habit of staying at home and playing with iPads. Being able to go crazy outdoors is what they need in their childhood.

In the evening, you can go to the Moon Bar for a drink. The Moon Bar still implements the concept of the hotel. It is mainly made of bamboo and wood materials, with the shape of the moon on the ceiling, and the top is decorated with The lighting is just like the stars in the sky. Although it is a bar, it looks beautiful and elegant. In this environment, everyone talks softly. It is very suitable for drinking and chatting with friends, without the noise of ordinary bars.

There is also a bright wishing tree in front of the bar. If you look carefully at these light bottles, you will find that these are the drinking water bottles in the room, and the discarded bottles are hung here. Six Senses Hotels has always implemented the concept of environmental protection and was the first to launch the Earth Laboratory Project. In addition to the methods mentioned above, it also uses paper, bamboo and lemongrass to make straws instead of plastic straws; it also uses natural pesticides extracted from plants. , instead of chemical sprays; use bioactive cleaning fluids instead of chemical cleaners to protect the environment in an all-round way. This will undoubtedly increase the cost of the hotel, but it is also a breath of fresh air in this flashy world where profits are paramount.

This is a paradise hidden at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. If you have never been there, it is just a luxury hotel. Only if you have been, can you realize that this is the unique Six Senses.
