Sichuan
In a stylish wooden structure just inside the old town's North Gate, this hip guesthouse with English-speaking staff, unusually comfy beds and a historical touch packs in all the modern conveniences plus airport pick-up (¥120). Some rooms are small, so head downstairs to the cafe for real coffee (¥20) and a big window perfect for people-watching.
Room rates drop to ¥150 in low season.
