Western Sichuan brings together the birthplaces of Taoism, the ancient Dujiangyan Irrigation System, giant panda habitats, and the ancient Shu civilization. At Six Senses Qing Cheng Mountain, you can enjoy it all as part of a single journey.
Qingcheng Mountain is just a few minutes’ walk from the resort. Hike through lush greenery and observe Taoist practitioners living with the natural rhythm. Their simple lifestyle reflects the Taoist belief in balance between people and the world around them, a philosophy that aligns with our wellness approach within our resort.
Join a Tai Chi class led by Master Zhong, a 37th-generation Qingcheng Pai, to experience traditional movement and breathing practices from Taoist philosophy.
The region surrounding our resort is home to four panda conservation and research centers, making it a paradise for panda lovers, including Panda Valley, Panda Ark, Wolong Shenshuping Panda Base, and Red Panda Forest Park. The nearest is only a 15-minute drive from the resort.
Your Guest Experience Makers can advise on panda volunteer programs. Experiences include preparing fresh bamboo, observing feeding routines, and making nourishing cakes for the giant pandas.
You’ll also have the chance to explore Red Panda Forest Park, where you can observe red pandas roaming freely through wooded habitats while learning more about local conservation and the region’s biodiversity.
Built in 256 BC, the Dujiangyan Irrigation System remains one of the world’s oldest functioning water management projects. Using a dam-free design, it continues to control flooding and irrigate the Chengdu Plain today. The Min River still flows through the famed structures of Yuzui, Feishayan and Baopingkou, sustaining generations of life across Sichuan.
At Sanxingdui Museum, guests can explore the remains of the ancient Shu civilization dating back more than 4,000 years. The exhibits reveal a culture distinct from central Chinese dynasties. You can tailor your own cultural journeys with a little help from our Guest Experience Makers to explore western Sichuan’s layered history and other Chengdu tourist attractions at your own pace.
Beyond the archaeological wonders, western Sichuan also reveals itself through its slower rhythms of daily life. In the Jiezi Ancient Town and Yuantong Ancient Town, stone-paved lanes, riverside tea houses, and old wooden residences preserve the easygoing atmosphere of traditional Sichuan living. Locals gather over tea, chat leisurely in open courtyards, and move through a slow-paced way of life, offering visitors an authentic glimpse into the region’s enduring way of life.
