Check-in to Chengdu: The Temple House offers exciting city exploration pacakage

A tranquil oasis tucked in the centre of the bustling city of Chengdu, The Temple House offers convenient access to an exploration of the vibrant surrounding attractions, complemented by a soothing spa and range of nutritious healthy food and beverages. To celebrate the start of 2019, the hotel has unveiled a new 3-night Check-in to Chengdu experience to give guests the opportunity to actively explore the city by foot or bike, before unwinding in the award-winning spa and refueling with healthful dishes, such as vegan Sichuan hotpot and specially selected green teas.

Chengdu is world-famous for its Giant Panda population, and The Temple House is located just half an hour from the Chengdu Research Base. A popular experience among guests, the hotel team offer guided tours of the vast base, as guests explore and spend valuable face time with China’s national icon.

Having increased their pedometer count visiting the Pandas, guests can then make use of The Temple House’s Bamboo Bicycles for a sustainable way to explore the city. Visitors can opt to cycle on their own path or take part in a guided tour, ticking off nearby attractions including Lang Bridge, Jiuyan Bridge, Wangjiang Park and Sichuan University.

Guests can also opt to start the new year right by taking part in a traditional Buddhist ceremony at the nearby Chengdu Daci Temple Cultural and Commercial Complex with a focus on reflection, gratitude and wellness.

After an active morning exploring Chengdu, The Temple House’s MI XUN SPA offers a calming respite from the city with knowledgeable therapists and results-driven treatments. The spa combines the best of traditional Chinese treatments with modern wellness innovations, with carefully selected high performance treatments from renowned international spa brands such as Meseostic and the innovative THÉMAÉ range, which harnesses the natural benefits of tea using its four-teas extract (Complexe des 4 Thés®).

Spanning 900 square metres, MI XUN SPA features eleven treatment rooms, including two VIP experience suites, as well as a tea house and retail store. The House Discovery Experience includes the spa’s popular Signature Bamboo Massage for two, which uses a combination of the traditional bamboo canes and hand strokes to ease out the nodules and muscle tension, with a choice of four oil blends; relaxing, MIXUN bespoke, energising or stretching.

Following their treatment, guests may unwind in the adjoining Teahouse and enjoy freshly-brewed premium teas, selected for their natural medicinal benefits according to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), to complement and boost the effects of their spa treatment. The refined vegan menu at MI XUN Teahouse is in turn inspired by the healthful dishes once served at Daci Temple, and guests can enjoy a Teahouse Hotpot Set Dinner for 2 as part of their stay.
