A day inside the Chengdu spa
Homeless Pelican and his friend Pippi arrive at Cheersum Hotel for a 24-hour spa visit. They explore the main spa area and find fruit and snacks available throughout the day, including strawberries, tomatoes, and dragon fruit. The third floor has a cyberpunk-style atmosphere, and the facilities include pools, hot springs, dry saunas, a library, game areas, and a cinema with English subtitles. They also try reflexology stones, which the video presents as a health test, and look at outdoor barrels and a private jacuzzi. The pair describe the spa as a place where visitors can eat, swim, play games, watch a film, and sleep.
Buffet, promotions, and sleeping arrangements
At night, the visitors go to the Chinese buffet. The table has a QR code for ordering dishes listed at zero yuan, and they sample items including deep-fried milk and tea eggs. Dinner and the buffet are priced separately from the entrance ticket according to the source; the regular figures are 298 yuan for admission and another 298 yuan for dinner and buffet. A promotion brings their eventual expense to 220 yuan per person, about $32. The promotion is accessed through Chinese apps such as Meituan, which the travelers say can be difficult for foreigners to use without help. They advise bringing a Chinese friend who can find offers.
The video also shows the pair preparing to sleep in a heated barrel bed. Staff arrange the bed with linens and provide a face mask with heaters. Homeless Pelican and Pippi discuss the unusual setup and the overall 24-hour experience, which concludes after a night in the spa. Their account includes the film’s English subtitles and the buffet timing; they mention that they missed the dinner buffet while watching a movie and relied on the à la carte menu. The video presents their own visit and promotion rather than claiming that every guest will receive the same deal.
