Chengdu·Ahn Luh Guantang: A Rustic Retreat in an Ancient Western Sichuan Village

Just a 40-minute drive from Chengdu's bustling city center, nestled in Guantang Village of Shuangliu District, lies this secluded sanctuary inspired by Western Sichuan's traditional forest settlements. Backed by emerald bamboo groves and facing undulating rice fields, it embodies the pastoral poetry of Tao Yuanming's verses—"Elms and willows shade the back eaves, Peach and plum trees adorn the front hall"—while being merely 40 minutes from Tianfu International Airport, perfectly balancing seclusion with convenience. · ▪️ Ahn Luh Guantang Chengdu ▪️ AHN LUH GUANTANG ▪️ Guantang Village, Shuangliu District, Chengdu, Sichuan . · 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 As Aman's sister brand, Ahn Luh Guantang inherits designer JAYA Ibrahim's minimalist Oriental aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from Western Sichuan vernacular architecture, it blends sloping roofs, wooden lattices with Aman-style minimalism. The lobby features a soaring wooden dome bathed in warm light, while Shu embroidery and bamboo-weaving intangible cultural heritage artworks adorn the walls, quietly infusing every corner with local culture. · 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀 Thirty-four villas are scattered across an 8,000㎡ landscaped garden, named "Bi Yun Ge," "Qi Zi Ge," and "An Lu Ge." Starting from 70㎡ (larger than most urban suites!), each features a private viewing balcony or courtyard. Interiors marry classical Chinese elements with modern tech: Swedish DUXIANA royal mattresses with duck-down duvets, Danish B&O audio systems, and satellite TV ensure cozy stays. Complimentary amenities include smart toilets, underfloor heating, air purifiers, and minibar soft drinks. · 𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 The all-day dining venue, designed as a "Western Sichuan manor," serves authentic cuisine amidst antique-inspired wooden tables and window lattices. Savor smoked camphor-tea duck, numbing-spicy dan dan noodles, or chef's tasting menus with artful plating. Don't miss the "Seasons Afternoon Tea," featuring seasonal blooms and fruits paired with Mengding Mountain tea for a Zen experience. · 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 More than a hotel, it's a cultural immersion: Craft workshops let you create incense seals or bamboo weavings; the spa offers herbal baths and Balinese massages (try the "Bamboo Harmony Treatment"); practice tai chi by the infinity pool at dawn or join tea ceremonies and farm harvests later. Families enjoy Confucian classes and kite-flying on lawns. Steps away lie an intangible cultural heritage museum and ancient village streets showcasing Shu embroidery and Sichuan opera.
