Ryokan-inspired timber buildings sit deep in Wolong gorge, where guests have six kilometres of mountain stream to themselves.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Dark-tiled timber pavilions connect via a red steel bridge spanning the mountain gorge.
Notable
Duplex suites frame canyon cliffs with heated floors and natural cypress wood fragrance.
Notable
Terrace stone soaking tubs and spa treatment rooms overlook the Wolong mountain gorge.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Walking paths follow the stream directly into Wolong gorge, beneath the limestone peaks of Mount Jinfo.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass opens onto the water, and deep stone tubs look straight at the limestone cliffs.
The spa
At the table
Breakfast sets use vegetables from the on-site garden, and dinner brings local Sichuan hot pot and teppanyaki.
How it began
Architect Min Liu spent four years building at the mouth of Wolongtan, leaving the inner canyon entirely untouched.
