[2025 Pengzhou Stay] Travel Guide for Chanyi Longxing Courtyard Hotel (Longxing Temple) (Updated May)

🚅Don't know where to go for the weekend? Why not depart from Chengdu and take a 20-minute high-speed train to Pengzhou with its "exotic atmosphere"! This place not only has unique cultural attractions but also mouth-watering cuisine, making it a perfect choice for a short trip! 🌆【Cultural Exploration】 1. Longxing Temple: Built during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it has a long history. The Longxing Sarira Pagoda inside is one of only 19 remaining sarira pagodas in China, blending the style of India's Mahabodhi Temple with Western Sichuan architectural aesthetics. The underground palace at the base of the pagoda enshrines Shakyamuni Buddha's sarira. When peonies bloom in the temple, the atmosphere of "flowers within zen, zen within flowers" is enchanting. ​ 2. Sansheng Temple: Originally the mansion of Zhang Song, a "genius" from the Three Kingdoms period, hidden behind nanmu trees, it's full of ancient charm. The temple layout is exquisite, with the Puxian Hall featuring a unique domed design. The white marble pagoda along the central axis complements the pink and white magnolias beautifully, while sika deer add a touch of spirituality. ​ 3. Bailu Seminary: In 1860, Frenchman Hong Guanghua wanted to establish a seminary here, and later his successors spent thirteen years building it from 1895. The seminary has a symmetrical layout along a central axis, with a Gothic church in the center and Chinese-style residential buildings for classrooms and dormitories on both sides. It was once a filming location for Chanel advertisements. Nearby, the "Sino-French Bridge" is a remaining Chinese-style double-arch stone bridge designed by French missionaries, bearing witness to historical changes. 🍱【Culinary Feast】 1. Jiuchi Pressed Duck: Jiuchi Town is known as the "Home of Pressed Duck." The ducks here have shiny, oily skin and give off an enticing aroma whether smoked or salt-brined. Fresh pressed duck can be steamed and enjoyed with alcohol, while cured pressed duck can be eaten immediately after slicing, with the parts containing bones being the most flavorful. ​ 2. Cold Water Fish: Xiaoyudong in Longmen Mountain Town is a summer retreat where over 50 varieties of cold water fish can be prepared in more than 30 different ways. Fish slices can be thinly sliced and dipped in wasabi soy sauce for incredible freshness, or pickled, fried, pan-fried, or boiled - truly "multiple dishes from one fish" that maximizes the delicious flavors. ​ 3. Juntun Guokuai: Known for its "three flips and six turns" technique, the Zhou Lequan family's guokuai (pan-fried cake) uses water from Xiangshui Well to make the dough, adding lard for extra fragrance and flakiness, resulting in a crispy exterior with a hearty filling. ​ 4. Oil-Scalded Goose: Cooked in an "open pot," the meat is tender and aromatic. 🛏【Accommodation Recommendations】 - **Chanyi Longxing Courtyard Hotel (Longxing Temple Branch): Enjoy private courtyard views and soak in private pools for a leisurely experience. ​ - **Pengzhou Yage Hotel (Municipal Government Walmart Plaza Branch): Take in panoramic city views, indulge in delicious cuisine, and enjoy a comfortable stay. 🚗【Transportation Guide】From Chengdu, take a high-speed train from Xipu Station to Pengzhou, which takes only 20 minutes - very convenient.

The ultimate healing vacation spot near Longxing Temple in Pengzhou This trip around Chengdu took me to Pengzhou, where I found a healing vacation experience. Having already had a wonderful experience at Chanyi in Leshan, this time at Chanyi in Pengzhou, the check-in was still great. [Chanyi Longxing Courtyard] Located next to the popular landmark, Longxing Temple in Pengzhou. This Zen-filled hotel is worth a special trip to experience. ⚠️ Even the room card is Chanyi's signature sandalwood bracelet, which is very ritualistic. 🏠 The details in the room I stayed in this time were great. The bedding was comfortable, and the room was well-divided. ♨️ The balcony was a pleasant surprise, with a direct view of Longxing Temple and Longxing Market. There is also a private hot spring. Soaking in the hot spring at night is very pleasant. Even if you don't go to the temple, it's comfortable to stroll around the hotel. The landscaping is beautiful. Staying for two days is so relaxing. A hotel with substance can be healing. I will continue to book without hesitation for a two-day stay in Pengzhou in the future!!

Seriously!! When you come to Chengdu, you must experience staying in a Chengdu courtyard! Not only does it have a strong cultural atmosphere, but the scenery when it rains is also incredibly beautiful with a misty, rain-drenched view, and deep courtyards, as if you've traveled back to the period of the Republic of China. This sense of destiny is firmly grasped!! Sisters who come to Chengdu must not miss out. Sitting under the eaves of a small courtyard, sipping a cup of tea, quietly listening to the sound of the rain falling, experiencing the authentic and comfortable life in an old Chengdu courtyard, it's simply too cozy~ The hotel's location is also very easy to find, the accommodation environment is particularly warm and super comfortable to stay in, and the internal facilities are very complete! The service and facilities are very comprehensive, with a coffee shop, bar, Sichuan cuisine restaurant, gym, etc., all available. Breakfast starts at 7 am, tastes great, and the portions are just right. After breakfast, sitting in the courtyard with a cup of coffee, listening to the rain and reading a book, time seems to stand still at this moment
