Yuexiang · Shanyucheng · Mountain-View Terrace Designer Homestay (Li County Branch)
Perched in the Ti betan-Qiang Corridor and hidden in the Zagunao River Valley, Li County lies in western Sichuan, at the southeastern edge of the Aba Ti betan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture and on the eastern rim of the Qinghai-Ti bet Plateau. National Highway 317 runs through the county along the Zagunao River Valley. As a gateway from the Chengdu Plain to the northwest Sichuan Plateau, it is easily reached via the Wenchuan-Maerkang Expressway and National Highway 317. Yuexiang · Shanyucheng · Mountain-View Terrace Designer Homestay is located on Xiangshan Road in Zagunao Town, Li County, built against the mountains and facing the river valley—a quiet retreat at the starting point of a Western Sichuan journey.
The homestay’s location naturally places it within the rich context of Li County’s “Ti betan-Qiang Cultural Corridor.” Nearby destinations include Taoping Qiang Village, Bipenggou, Guergou, and Miyaluo. Taoping Qiang Village is known for the architectural wisdom of its interconnected stone watchtowers and tunnels; its Qiang watchtower-building techniques, Qiang embroidery, sheepskin drum dance, and more than one hundred intangible cultural heritage traditions are still passed down as living heritage. Bipenggou’s snow-capped mountains and alpine lakes, Guergou’s hot spring valley, and Miyaluo’s sea of autumn red leaves offer changing scenery through the seasons. Spring brings mountain flowers, summer offers cool retreat, autumn is for red leaves, and winter is for ice and snow—each season has its own beauty.
Wabi-Sabi, Natural Wood, and Mountain Views Indoors
The homestay adopts a wabi-sabi and natural-wood design language, with simplicity, modesty, and closeness to nature as its tone. There is no excess decoration; instead, the warm texture of wood and the breathing space of emptiness draw guests’ attention back to the mountain colors and shifting light outside the window. Every detail in the public areas and guest rooms has been carefully refined, from furniture materials to the quality of amenities, presenting a quiet character that echoes the surrounding landscape. The homestay features a mountain-view terrace: on clear days, guests can gaze at the distant mountain ridges; at night, they can quietly watch the sky darken over the river valley. The terrace itself becomes a space for slowing down.
Guest rooms continue the overall natural-wood style, with practical and comfortable furnishings. The rooms provide quality amenities, offering an experience close to that of a boutique hotel in the city while retaining the relaxed feel unique to a homestay. The homestay also offers conveniences for families traveling with children, suitable for different travel combinations.
Warm Service, Thoughtful Details
Based on guest feedback, the homestay staff are warm and attentive, with a careful and considerate reception process and timely responses to guests’ needs. The front desk is open 24 hours, and check-in and check-out times are clearly arranged, making the overall process smooth. The homestay’s philosophy reflects an emphasis on “local experience”—not merely providing a room for the night, but allowing guests to begin a Western Sichuan journey at a relaxed pace at the entrance to the Ti betan-Qiang Cultural Corridor.
Whether travelers driving through Li County on the way to Bipenggou or Miyaluo, or visitors coming specifically to experience Ti betan-Qiang culture, Yuexiang · Shanyucheng · Mountain-View Terrace Designer Homestay offers an understated place to stay in harmony with the mountains and rivers and close to culture. Here, the fatigue of travel is gently lifted by natural wood and mountain breeze, while the story of the Western Sichuan Plateau begins with the river valley outside the window.
"I was fortunate enough to be among the first guests to check into this hotel. The hotel environment was excellent; the owner clearly put a lot of thought into everything from the decor to the amenities. It's very convenient for those traveling by car, as the hotel has its own car charging stations and parking, making it easy for tram passengers to get here. The room experience was a pleasant surprise. The soundproofing was excellent, making it very quiet. The bedding was all pure cotton, ensuring a great sleep experience. The rooms were well-equipped, with a projector and screen, a small refrigerator, and in addition to the usual towels and bath towels, disposable towels, hand towels, and toilet seat covers were provided, showing thoughtfulness and reassurance regarding hygiene. Another notable feature is the presence of public areas and terraces on each floor, allowing groups to enjoy activities together without the awkwardness of frequently entering and leaving the rooms. There's also a laundry room and a mahjong room on the top floor. I especially want to commend the owner; the service was incredibly attentive, and they responded to all our requests. I will definitely stay here again if I'm ever in the Li County area. #Location and Transportation The hotel is located on a hillside, very close to the highway exit, making it very convenient to travel to various attractions."
