From Ya'an High-speed Railway Station, it takes an 8-minute drive to reach the Zhenghuang Hilton DoubleTree Hotel located at the foot of Mount Mengding and by the Qingyi River. The hotel lobby cleverly uses the element of Ya'an's local 'Three Ya's' (Ya Women | Ya Fish | Ya Rain) as a welcoming design.

Regular bookings can also be upgraded to a 65 square meter deluxe suite. This stay on the 20th floor includes three deluxe family rooms, two of which are long and narrow with red and blue themed children's decorations, while the other family room has no children's decorations. The public area on the guest room floor is decorated with bamboo forest elements and pandas, in line with Ya'an's reputation as the hometown of pandas. Each room door also has a cute panda doll indicating the room number.
The hotel has a 200-square-meter executive lounge on the top floor (26F), but as a franchise store, the lounge is not open. The alternative for Diamond members is to enjoy an afternoon tea in the lobby bar, including sandwiches, desserts, salted cookies, macarons, and a soft drink.

The indoor heated swimming pool is divided into deep water, shallow water, and children's pools, and the extra-long swimming lane allows guests to fully enjoy the fun of swimming.
Ya'an has rich tourism resources, with nearby scenic spots such as Mount Mengding and Bifeng Gorge. For city sightseeing, besides the Ya'an Covered Bridge, you can also climb the 879-step Western Shu Ladder and visit the Jinfeng Temple at the top of the mountain.
