Six Senses Qing Cheng Mountain

Sipping green tea in a rain shower while a sacred Taoist mountain fills the window is more or less the baseline here. This resort outside Chengdu sits near the birthplace of Taoism and a UNESCO-listed irrigation system that's been around forever, and the property looks like a watercolor of lily ponds and wooden pavilions made real. Suites run large, decor leans classical Chinese, and the spa updates ancient treatments for guests who need a reason. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
