[2024 Chongqing Stay] Travel Guide for FUTON (Updated Dec)
They say that Xiahaoli is beautiful at night! I didn't expect it to be so beautiful!
Xiahaoli became popular because of a viral night view live photo! I came to Chongqing to check in here
But I accidentally found a very nice homestay - FUNTON Fengtang City Stay
Located in the Xiahaoli Scenic Area, just at the entrance of the scenic area at Exit 1 of Shangxin Street Subway Station, there are only about 20 parking spaces here, and there is a long queue, so it is recommended to take the light rail or a taxi 🚖
When you get off at Exit 1, you can see the popular photo spot "I'm in Chongqing, Xiahaoli", which is very photogenic!
The whole of Chongqing is built on the mountain, and this place is no exception! The front desk and rooms are in separate buildings, but there are very thoughtful password fences, so ordinary tourists can't get in
I traveled with my child and stayed in the Century Xiahao Room, a river view suite. The butler said that this is the room with the best view, and it did not disappoint! You can see both the mountains and the river at the same time, this view is really worth it!
The room has a smart toilet and curtains, Bose speakers are very trendy, and there are also thoughtful preparations of digestive tablets and eye masks and earplugs. I thought I wouldn't eat the digestive tablets, but I underestimated Chongqing's food and ate four directly!
Breakfast is in the form of a set menu, you can choose noodles/porridge/Western food, lazy people can ask the butler to deliver it to the room~ very thoughtful!

Xia Hao Li! Facing Raffles City! I didn't want to check out.
I stayed at this homestay for the second time, and I will probably stay here for the third time because of this window. It is located halfway up the hill in Xia Hao Li, and it is only a five-minute walk from the light rail station and the parking lot, which is very convenient.
The overall service is very good. You can come early to store your luggage. The housekeeper will help you put it in the room. You can rest assured to play (climb the mountain). I chose a river view room. The room has three windows, one side is a river view and the other two sides are mountain views. Each window is like a painting. The extra-large bed + super soft bedding makes people want to stay. The bathroom is super spacious. In addition to the disposable bathtub cover, it also provides bath salts and rose petals. The room also has a small desk and a sofa coffee table for office work and eating, which is very convenient~
Because of the high geographical location, the view is very open. Overlooking is the century-old Xia Hao's stilted building group, and the far view is Chongqing's landmark Raffles City. Hidden in the gap between the bustling city and the quiet mountains and wilds, apart from here, it seems that there is no second place in Chongqing.

Chongqing! A secluded courtyard halfway up the mountain, affordable and comfortable~
Family, I found a hidden gem of a homestay in Chongqing😘
Downstairs is the hustle and bustle of the world, local customs and dialects☘️
There is also a modern city, with bustling mountains and rivers✨
Here you can clearly see the stilted building complex
Enjoy the stunning night view and find the unique romance of the mountain city💕
✔️The geographical location is in the new internet-famous area of Chongqing, Xiahaoli, making it super convenient for checking in and shopping! The distance from the homestay to the airport and the high-speed railway station (Chongqing North Station) is only about 20 minutes by taxi🚗, and it's just over 100 meters from the homestay to the subway station, so it's also very convenient for going out!
✔️The front desk is a converted pavilion, and as soon as you enter, you are greeted with the fragrance of wood. The housekeeper thoughtfully prepared local green tea and various Chongqing snacks, and there are ice towels for guests in hot weather. The guest room area is on the other side of the front desk. Pushing open a wooden door, the floors are staggered, the bluestone road on the ground, the ancient buildings, and the full atmosphere make for great photos!
✔️There are more mosquitoes in summer, but the homestay thoughtfully lit sandalwood in the room in advance, and there are screens, electric mosquito repellent liquid, and mosquito repellent stickers, so there were almost no mosquitoes. Opening the door, what impressed me most were the two windows, one looking at the mountain view of Xiahaoli and the other offering a distant view of the river. I love it!
✔️The whole room is in solid wood tones, simple but full of historical charm. It has all the basic amenities, a free minibar, a separate wet and dry bathroom, a drying rack, wet wipes, steam eye masks, and a bathtub with a beautiful view. The homestay also gave a canvas bag, which is not only beautiful but also very practical😘
✔️Since the homestay is right next to a stream, you can hear the sound of the waterfall. The homestay also thoughtfully prepared earplugs, but I think listening to white noise makes me sleep better. There was a surprise when checking out, a souvenir gift, including a Hongya Cave fridge magnet! And it's pet-friendly too~
Location: Xiahaoli, Nan'an District, Chongqing

Look up, Raffles! Chongqing has another breathtakingly beautiful homestay
Last year, Xia Hao Li was still quiet and deserted, but this year it has already been taken over by tourists. I've always liked the combination of old and new here, the houses with their orderly disarray, and the unique artistic vibe. The homestay I stayed in this time is located right here, boasting an excellent view, and the service is surprisingly detailed.
Check-in was in a room that looked very much like a coffee shop, with rubble visible outside the window and the sunlight casting amazing shadows. The receptionist thoughtfully offered a wet towel to wipe off sweat! Moreover, you can call the front desk butler for anything during your stay, and even order takeout to the front desk.
I stayed in a Raffles view suite, which had a large room space. The window at the entrance faced the landmark Raffles, offering an amazing view both day and night. The room's soaking tub came with speakers, rose petals, bath salts, and fake candles🕯️, just in time for the torrential rain in Chongqing. Taking a bath with the sound of rain created a full-on atmospheric experience. It's worth mentioning that each room in the homestay is equipped with wet toilet paper and face towels, which is quite rare to see.
Overall, it feels very suitable for a vacation⛱️, one night is really not enough! The homestay is truly beautiful and very photogenic. If you want to drink alcohol or coffee, just walk a few steps outside and there are a bunch of interesting little shops. During the day, there are many tourists outside the doors and walls, but at night there is a rare tranquility. Xia Hao Li is full of little surprises, and this homestay is a surprise too~
