Hotel Daerah Shizhong di Leshan

The city of Leshan was one of our favorite stops during our trip to China. We went to see the Giant Buddha, and it was absolutely amazing—definitely a must-see, especially from the boat view. Our hotel room had a stunning view that honestly didn’t even compare to the pictures. It was even better in person. The toilet alone was next-level! It was pretty cold when we visited in March, but the overall experience made up for it. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the breakfast buffet was delicious. We paid about $60 USD for one of the best views, and that price also included a buffet breakfast for two people, which made it an even better deal. They also had two small washer machines available. I believe they offered detergent, but we chose to use our own. The only downside is that there’s no traditional dryer—just a heated drying cabinet. You can only hang about five pieces of clothing at a time, and it takes around 1.5 hours to dry. We ended up hanging some of our clothes in the laundry room, and the staff was kind enough to rotate them for us while we were out for the day. Before traveling to China, I highly recommend downloading WeChat (for communication), Alipay (for payments), and Didi (like Uber). Not everyone speaks English, but many people will communicate with you through WeChat, which was super helpful. We also paid for a half-day extension for about $15. Our original room was already booked, so they gave us a smaller room, but it allowed us to enjoy our day and come back to shower and get ready before heading to Chengdu. If you plan on shopping, Leshan is one of the cheapest places to do it. We bought two large suitcases for $17 and $18. They were basic plastic with a simple key lock, but they did the job—we made it all the way back to Los Angeles with them. One wheel did fall off after the flight, but honestly, it was still worth it. We didn’t want to spend money on expensive luggage for a one-time use. There’s a store about a five-minute walk away—it’s like a colorful, open-style dollar store where you can just walk right in. Overall, the staff and experience were amazing. I would absolutely stay here again.

It’s the best stay ever. It’s by the river and they gave me a room facing it. It’s absolutely gorgeous and peaceful. Staff is very kind and nice. I ended up staying one more night because I loved the place. It’s very comfortable and enjoyable. Did I mention there’s a tea set to use. I will definitely stay there again next time I go there.

Very beautiful oriental style hotel. Great breakfast, really nice and clean rooms with tea space. They even supplied beautiful ”zen clothes” to wear around the hotel and dining. The location is great, inside the Buddah park. Call when you're close to arriving and they will have a cart to collect you (and your luggage) from the gate. Super.

The hotel is a convenient walk from Leshan train station. The staff were all very friendly and made communication via WeChat easy. They were very helpful in making travel arrangements and suggesting local restaurants. The room was very modern and spacious and the shower had amazing water pressure. We had an early start to see the Leshan Buddha and the restaurant kindly arranged some dumplings and bao for us to take on our journey as we were too early for breakfast.

The service and room was exceptional. When we didn't completely understand the location of where breakfast was served, they had a shuttle take us directly there. Breakfast was delicious with a large variety in the buffet. The room was spacious, with all the extras, and extremely comfortable. It was tastefully decorated to fit in the Giant Buddha park. The room was spotlessly clean. The luxury towels felt wonderful. Location is excellent as it is in the Giant Buddha Park. Hotel and the location was extremely beautiful.

Beautiful hotel. Rooms are clean and odor free. Staff was nice, one speaks fluent English which was useful. Chinese breakfast with noodles, egg, chia something and rice and dumpling (just let her know if you want it spicy or not, or without meat). K1 bus is 10 minutes walk to the junction, it takes you to the Buddha area. 601 bus should be across the street to Emeishan (but probably moved due to construction, just take the 9 3-4 stops down) payable in cash. Internet was ok, a bit weak a night There are calligraphy sets in every floor. And good tea..

Everything you would expect from Wyndham 5star hotel is on par here. If I had to be picky would be that water in the shower wasn't hot hot. And price is a bit high for a small town of LeShan

Gym needs to be upgraded. Good location to get foods as many restaurants around the nearby shopping mall just nearby. Room is spacious and clean. 

Great location near the river and giant Buddha, the streets nearby have lots of nice food and shopping options. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They have a laundry room and even a tiny fitness station. The bath was also welcome after some hikes the days before. You do have to be quite close friends to enjoy it I guess, as it thrones the room. Luckily not an issue for us.

Super friendly staff and wonderful location! Minutes walk from the food street and the view from my room was stunning! Though the space inside room for dining is very limited, they have a nice common dining area with view to the river. The welcome fruit platter was lovely and the breakfast was hearty. Also enjoyed the free laundry room! Had my clothes washed and dried within hours (the washing machine has built-in in detergent dispenser). Would definitely stay again if I visit Leshan in the future:)
