"Watch out for cover charges"

"strange lifts. need to choose your floor from outside, and woe betide you if you make a mistake"

"huge and possibly confusing. take your time and look at the signs and maps. elevators and escalators to most platforms"

"excellent place. we took a taxi up there from chengdu, cost about 60rmb. to get back into the city, rather than take one of the black cabs, i took the bus to chengdu zoo, then a taxi. very cheap."

"array of sichuan restaurants, some better than others. the 干锅 is always good. watch out for the rabbits, chickens, and frogs that get pulled out for butchering though!"

"nice staff, cheap, well-located. room seemed a bit damp when we got in (well, it is summer in sichuan), but for a day or two it's a good place"
