Shouzhuo Guesthouse

A luxurious and enchanting forest retreat. When the sun filters through the bamboo-lined walkways, casting playful light on the green leaves, it feels like your soul is instantly illuminated. And when the rain falls, the forest comes alive with a natural symphony that’s nothing short of magical. Sitting quietly in one of the many beautiful tea houses scattered throughout the courtyard or nestled against the mountain backdrop, you can’t help but feel a deep sense of calm as nature engages all your senses. It’s truly therapeutic for the soul. For those seeking a more hands-on experience, the guesthouse offers a variety of activities that are sure to delight, especially families with children. Whether it’s fishing in a tranquil stream or exploring the forest at night in search of glowworms, there’s something special for everyone. Normally, I tend to avoid hotels popular with families. But here, in this zen-like setting, the sound of children laughing and playing only adds to the charm rather than detracting from the serenity. Every corner of this retreat is a photo opportunity, and every meal is a sumptuous feast. The ancient gate transports you to another world, and the evening white mist enhances the sense of wonder. The house-made osmanthus baijiu, reserved exclusively for guests, is a refined treat that speaks to the thoughtful touches that elevate the experience. The level of care and attention to details here far exceeds the cost, leaving you feeling truly pampered by the generosity of this guesthouse and its staff, who go above and beyond to make you feel like an honored guest. I was particularly impressed by the staff and their evident training. They were polite, enthusiastic, and fully invested in ensuring that guests had a great stay. In similar boutique hotels, you might expect to see more of the owner’s presence. But at Shouzhou, the front-of-house staff take full ownership of running the property, with a level of professionalism that is both refreshing and commendable. Our journey from Qingchengshan to Qionglai and onward to Emeishan was long, but entirely worth it. We are especially grateful to the young front-of-house male staff and his colleague, who graciously offered to drive us nearly 30 minutes to a location where we could catch a Didi to Emeishan. This kind gesture was the embodiment of hospitality at its finest. I hope more people discover this hidden gem and have the chance to experience its uplifting atmosphere for themselves.

推開酒店硃紅色的木門，彷彿踏入一幅水墨丹青的畫卷。青磚黛瓦、雕花窗欞，檐角風鈴輕響，流水潺潺繞庭而過，每一處細節都浸潤着東方美學的雅緻。晨起推窗，薄霧繚繞庭院，竹影婆娑；暮時燃一盞紙燈，暖光映着廊下的紅燈籠，恍若穿越千年。 客房以“琴、棋、書、畫”為題，木製傢俱線條古樸，案几上擺放着青瓷茶具，床幔輕紗垂落，刺綉錦被暗藏蘭草紋樣。最驚艷的是浴池設計——仿若天然石洞，配以竹筒引水的温湯，玫瑰花瓣浮沉，閉目聆聽古琴曲，疲憊盡散。

關注了好幾年了，一直沒有機會，這次回國終於有機會去住，果然沒有讓我失望，其實網上的圖片並沒有現場看起好，真的是一步一景，而且房間用的床品和洗漱用品都很高級，絕不比高星級酒店差，甚至要超出，仔細的看，店家確實太太太太用心了，沒一個體驗都能感受到老闆的用心包括服務，絕對是我目前心目中鄉村民宿酒店的No1，值得推薦，完全不用擔心踩雷。
