Jinli Hotel

Chengdu


If you don’t mind the tourists swarming Jinli Gujie by Wuhou Temple, this upmarket inn set in two courtyard-style buildings is a reasonable, if slightly over-priced, place to stay. Rooms mix traditional Chinese wooden furnishings with modern touches, such as puffy white duvets and wide-screen TVs.
