Leshan Meet the Yard

Stone-paved garden paths run through the center of this courtyard hotel, with dark timber galleries and latticed windows arranged around them the way the original builders intended. Rooms lean into Ming-influenced furniture and ink-wash art, but it's the library lounge lined with bookshelves that keeps it from feeling like a set piece. The Leshan Giant Buddha is a short drive away, which is presumably why you're here.
