[2025 Qionglai Stay] Travel Guide for Shouzhuo Guesthouse (Updated Mar)

The warm sunshine in early winter shines brightly on the mountain. In Shouzhuo, late autumn has not yet left and the frosty moon has not yet arrived. It is a good time to meet in the mountains and fields. The beauty of Shouzhuo does not lie in the first moment of sight. When you walk slowly in the yard, you will always see a point in an instant, which is eye-catching. It is indeed the essence of Chinese classical gardens. In winter, there is light in the mountains. The housekeeper took us to hunt jujubes, pick wild fruits, and have close contact with the villagers in the mountains. It was really a colorful time in the mountains and a ray of light in ordinary life.

| Qionglai A-level Homestay - Shouzhuo. I had been planning to get married for a long time and finally found this homestay on the bamboo mountain in Qionglai, which is said to be one of the few national A-level homestays in Sichuan. The daily price for a double room is close to 1,000, almost two to three times the price of the surrounding homestays. Surprisingly, there are almost no negative reviews, which made me curious to try it. Staying here did not disappoint. The entire homestay area is in the style of a Japanese courtyard, and the staff is very warm and friendly, simple and thoughtful. The theme of the homestay is ancient natural, and the rooms are also antique, without a TV, forcing you to return to rural life. To pass the time, the homestay will arrange interesting activities. In the afternoon, after we checked in and rested, they took us to catch fish and shrimp, experiencing the fun of childhood. In the evening, they also led everyone to see fireflies. The mountain has a high negative oxygen ion content, and the air is fresh and a bit humid, which is very suitable for fireflies to grow. At night, you can see a whole mountain of fireflies, which is very shocking! Because it is on the mountain, friends who are too lazy to go down the mountain to eat (15 minutes down the mountain is not far) can also try their private dishes, with options of 150/200/300 per person. We tried the 150, and the taste was good and worth the price. The ingredients were fresh, and many were even their own vegetables. The breakfast the next day was included in the room rate, and it was the most abundant breakfast I have ever had in all the hotels I have stayed in. It was served until after 10 o'clock, and I was not hungry until noon. Before leaving, they also gave us their own eggs and tea leaves to make tea eggs at home. It was a very happy trip, and I deeply experienced the pure rural life and felt the concept of the homestay "Shouzhuo." I recommended it to my family and friends when I got home! I want to go again and recommend it to friends traveling with couples and family.

I've grown up and never seen fireflies, so I searched a lot of information online about where to find fireflies, and I discovered a treasure spot for firefly viewing that's the closest to Chengdu. It only takes an hour and a half to get there from Chengdu. 🌸Name of the inn: Qionglai Shouzhuo Homestay 🌼Address: Inside the Lugu Bamboo Sea Scenic Area of Pingle Ancient Town, Qionglai Upon arriving at the homestay, I felt completely relaxed, with its antique architecture that's as beautiful as a painting in a poem. The housekeeper was very enthusiastic and friendly, helping us with our luggage. Entering the room was even more of a surprise. The room comes with its own tea room and small courtyard, which I really loved. In the afternoon, the hotel will deliver afternoon tea, fruits, and pastries to the room. Brew a pot of tea with the mountain spring water prepared by the housekeeper in advance. It's truly leisurely. The hotel also prepared activities like fishing and crab catching, which are great for families. While catching crabs, you can also play in the water. At nine o'clock in the evening, the homestay staff will lead everyone to see fireflies and tell stories about fireflies. I only found out now that fireflies only have a seven-day lifespan. The hotel's breakfast is also rich and ceremonial, and they will give you a letter written by the housekeeper, which made me feel so warm. When leaving, they also give a departure mystery box, and I won't say what it is. The treasures received by the guests who stay might all be different, and if I told you, there would be no surprise. A homestay with a great experience, just checked out, will come again next time.
