Come to Leshan and don't miss Guanghan Palace to experience the amazing scenery

## Leshan Guanghan Palace Hotel Check-in Experience: A Modern Traveler Who Accidentally Entered a Wonderland **Foreword:** As a photographer who travels the Sichuan-West loop all year round, my accommodation requirements have always been "as long as I can sleep." Until I stumbled upon the Guanghan Palace Hotel in Leshan, this boutique hotel with the concept of "Moon Palace" completely subverted my understanding of travel accommodation—it turns out that in the mundane world, some people have turned the legend of "Chang'e flying to the moon" into an accessible reality. --- ### **First Impression: A Moonlight Treasure Box Hidden in the City** The hotel's location is quite interesting: located in the bustling Dingdong Street in the old city of Leshan, turn into an alley with red lanterns, and suddenly you will see a pure white modern building. The floating moon lamp at the entrance forms a wonderful mix with the gray tiles unique to the residential buildings in western Sichuan, like a time-space misplaced enchantment. The front desk girl is wearing a modified Hanfu, and the room card she handed over is actually an electronic token in the shape of a jade rabbit, which shows ingenuity in the details. --- ### **Room Experience: The Technological Poetry of Cloud Bed** Check into the "Wangshu Pavilion" king bed room (all room names are taken from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"), and you will be immediately struck by the "skylight" design when you push the door open—the smart dimming glass on the entire ceiling can simulate the changes of the moon phase, and you can enjoy the "moon" by lying flat at night, and switch between sunny, cloudy, and full moon at will. The bedding is 80-count Xinjiang long-staple cotton, and I was surprised to find that there is a "buckwheat pillow" option on the pillow menu, which is a godsend for people with cervical spondylosis. The most amazing thing is the bathroom space: the soaking pool made of volcanic rock faces the floor-to-ceiling windows, and outside the window is a carefully designed bamboo shadow white wall, which not only ensures privacy but also creates the artistic conception of "bathing under the moon." The toiletries are from the niche brand "Guan Xia" Osmanthus series, which echoes the theme of "Guanghan Palace." --- ### **Moon Palace on the Tip of the Tongue: A Collision of Sichuan Flavors and Rituals** · **Breakfast**: In the "Gui Dian" restaurant on the top floor, Dandan noodles compete with Western-style Eggs Benedict. I highly recommend the local specialty "tofu pudding set", which is served with savory tofu pudding in a celadon cup and freshly fried crispy meat. The waiter will kindly remind you to "stir it twenty-eight times to make it tasty." · **Afternoon Tea**: The CNY 288 "Toad Palace Captures the Laurel" set is a work of art. The Emei Xueya tea is paired with 3D-printed moon-shaped desserts. The dry ice creates a cloud effect when it is served, attracting the audience to take pictures. · **Late Night Snack Surprise**: After 22:00, you can get a "Wu Gang Special" with your room card, which is actually a warm stomach drink of osmanthus rice wine + fermented glutinous rice. It is served in an ice-cracked wine glass and comes with a handwritten fortune slip. --- ### **Service: The Mortal Practice of the Fairy Sister** Two details I encountered: 1. I found that the shoulder strap of my camera bag was off the line, and the front desk took the initiative to provide a needle and thread kit, and also gave a hand-embroidered lens cap anti-lost rope; 2. When I returned on a rainy day, the doorman handed over not an ordinary umbrella, but a transparent umbrella with an LED moon light, walking in the alley like carrying a walking moon. --- ### **Shortcomings** · Sound insulation is slightly lacking: I could hear clearly when the child next door excitedly shouted "I saw Chang'e" · Location: It takes 20 minutes to walk to the Leshan Giant Buddha, which is more suitable for self-driving travelers · Price fluctuation: The basic room type can rise to 1,500+ in peak season, it is recommended to travel off-peak --- ### **Summary: A Dream Worth a Special Stop** If ordinary hotels are charging stations on the journey, Guanghan Palace is a dream-making space that makes you willingly "waste" time. Especially recommended for: ✅ Families with children (the hotel has a parent-child moon lamp DIY activity) ✅ Social media influencers who pursue "photo-worthiness" ✅ Design enthusiasts who want to experience "new Chinese" aesthetics When I checked out, I received a souvenir—a bag of Emeishan Xueya tea and a moon meteorite-patterned soap. The front desk girl smiled and said, "This is a specialty of Guanghan Palace, sun-dried in the moonlight." You see, even commercial behavior can be packaged into a fairy tale, which is probably the charm of a boutique hotel. (Note: The experience is based on a stay in October 2023, and the price of the room type fluctuates with the season. It is recommended to book through official channels)
