In the early autumn of 2020, the "post-epidemic" era, where we still cannot completely relax our vigilance, has ushered in the birth day of our mother's adult. Thinking about the journey of "taking my mother to try to sleep" in previous years under our various plans and arrangements, the climax has been repeated. However, because of this, the "annual assessment indicator" that I have default has been rising steadily, so I once really worried, how can I achieve this year's KPI so as to better carry forward the past and the future? Especially this year's situation is special. How will the "big drama of the year" be staged?

It is impossible to "fly to a tropical island to swim" or "take a walk with me on the streets of Chengdu." You can only choose nearby and visit Changsha, the capital of your beautiful hometown, which has become popular in China in recent years.

As an important place to stay for the try-to-sleep trip, after several comparisons, I picked the well-known urban landmark hotel-Changsha R & F Wanda Mandarin Hotel.

The reason for choosing Wanda Wenhua actually also comprehensively considers factors such as its geographical location, industry reputation, software and hardware facilities.

Since its opening in 2012, as a national luxury star that follows the group's philosophy and aims to promote "Chinese culture", Changsha R & F Wanda Mandarin Hotel is the only brand hotel owned by Wanda Hotels and Resorts in our province. It is also the first time I tried to sleep. Wanda hotel, which is indeed of special significance.

In terms of the series of industry awards he won last year, what I learned are: 2019 Ctrip Hotel's "Most Popular Hotel", 2019 Ctrip's "Changsha Must-Stay Hotel", 2019HDA Central China's "Best Service Hotel", 2019 New Hotel List "Urban Landmark Hotel of the Year" and New List Recommended "Popular Luxury Hotel"... The endorsement of major senior platforms in the industry will undoubtedly add a lot of points to it.

Moreover, its geographical location is very "golden".

The hotel is located on the bank of the beautiful Xiangjiang River, standing on Middle Xiangjiang Road in Kaifu District, adjacent to Wanda Plaza, steps away from well-known check-in spots in the Laocheng District such as Taiping Old Street, and is also close to the CBD, which sits in the prosperous commercial district. With this unique "geographical location" advantage, it can be said that it can easily grasp the nostalgic humanistic sentiments of old Changsha and the fashion trend elements of New Star City at the same time. (Insert: While we were trying to sleep, big celebrities from the political and business circles visited Beautiful Star City one after another and inspected Changsha's famous "night economy", secretly thinking that it was sending some favorable signal.)

In terms of major transportation, it is not far from the subway, urban rail station, high-speed rail station, railway station, and airport. It is indeed convenient to conduct on-site testing. This time with my mother back and forth, I did not worry too much about overall transportation matters.

Arriving at the store on the same day, it was Shenshi. When he alighted from the car, the doorman, the little brother, actively stepped forward to greet him and took over the suitcase. After entering the door, a smiling beautiful "Wenhua Angel" served tea and wet wipes to guide the check-in and briefly introduce the hotel. The enthusiasm began from the arrival of the store.

PS: According to reports,"Wanda Wenhua Angel" is a special welcome position specially designed by Wanda Group for VIPs. It makes VIPs feel respected with sincere, enthusiastic and meticulous service.

Walking into the lobby, I guess that first-time guests will be shocked by its grandeur. The high and wide space, the stone wall with Italian black gold flowers as the cornerstone, supplemented by hibiscus flower murals carved with traditional Chinese lacquer. This "black gold" combination combines art and beauty just right, luxurious but not vulgar, and the oriental charm is fully displayed here.

However, our Greater Hunan is known as the "Furong Country", so the elements of "Furong" are present in many places, such as the crystal lamp shape in the lobby, the flower-shaped decoration at the entrance of the lobby bar of a Western restaurant, and the carpet of the executive lounge echoed everywhere.

The lobby corridor leading to the elevator is the "flower road" traveled by many stars. For a simple example, Hu Bing has the same style!

There is also a Xi'an sedan chair promoted for the hotel's wedding banquet event. It happens to be wearing red clothes every day, so you can have the cheek to go in and enjoy some joy ~

Therefore, we reserved the "Executive River View Queen Room" directly at the Executive Lounge CI on the 28th floor.

The executive lounge is elegant and comfortable, spacious and bright, with complete functional areas.

(PS: I borrowed a computer here to work at night ~)

The tall cheongsam ladies in the executive lounge were all gentle and polite, with bright smiles and high professionalism. They quickly helped us check in.

Immediately afterwards, Shenshiyicha @ Executive Lounge. From a commanding position, overlooking Orange Island,"the world's largest inland continent," facing the "Bund" scenery of Changsha and the "Victoria Harbor" of Star City, enjoy afternoon tea, take a break, and feel relaxed and happy.

There was a "heart-to-heart talk" telling the hotel that it was the birthday of Mr. Ninomo, but I never expected it to be such a ceremonial surprise. The young ladies directly pushed a cart and delivered the cake to the Executive Lounge! There was also a large bouquet of flowers, and it was said that she specially picked vibrant sunflowers for the elderly, which made the Empress Dowager so happy... Naturally, I thanked him repeatedly with gratitude ~ We were deeply impressed by him not long after we arrived ~

If you are too lazy to move at night, you can choose Happy Hour in the Executive Lounge. There are so many different types of dishes, and the tonic food is also quite quick.

I have a bowl of porridge, which is enough to comfort the dusty weather (we are exhausted).

Back to our guest room full of strong oriental warmth, it is spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. When the floor-to-ceiling curtains are pulled open, you can see the scenery of Xiangjiang River. At night, you can sit by the window and let the traffic of Xiangjiang Middle Road flow in your eyes, letting your thoughts drift away... After staying here for two days, we had a pleasant stay.

The bathing equipment is scented with ACCA KAPPA white moss. This is the first time to come into contact with it ~

Welcome snacks

The bedding in his guest room is equipped with "Wanda Wenhua Bed" and "Miaomeng" sleep-aid series. It's so easy to sleep in person! Soft and skin-friendly and extremely comfortable. So when I returned to my room after breakfast the next day, my mother leaned against the royal concubine couch in front of the window to experience the audio and video entertainment brought by the large color TV in the room, while I went back to bed and loved the quilt. Wanda Wenhua makes me worthy of the name of "returning to the senses". Sleeping peacefully here can really relax every inch of skin and feel the warmth of returning home.

To celebrate my family's birthday in the hotel, the highlight is definitely catering. I did my homework and learned that it has Pinzhen Chinese Restaurant and Food Market Western Restaurant.

Pinzhen: It produces classic Hunan cuisine + Cantonese cuisine. It is rich in variety, exquisite in production, exquisite in presentation, charming in taste, and excellent overall performance.

The restaurant is located on the fifth floor of the hotel and is divided into private rooms and individual guest areas. It is decorated in Chinese style and has an atmosphere. The private room area is also equipped with a luxurious 270-degree outdoor terrace with river views, directly overlooking the middle section of Juzi Island, and everything you see is scenery.

You can have a panoramic view of the Xiangjiang River, and you can see the scenery of the mountains and the scenery in the distance.

The balcony has a quite large space, and the scenery is the only one here. It is often a gathering place for Star City Internet celebrities. It is said that it is the same as "Chinese Restaurant" Zhao Liying. Xiao Zhao attended the "Chinese Restaurant" launch conference here a few months before we went.

It was also the celebration party where my fans of "Love and White Servant" who were often stuffed with dog food on a certain platform exceeded 20 million yuan ~

To be said, as a child living in Guangdong and Hunan, it is very appropriate and wise to personally test his family's birthday dinner and choose "Pinzhen".

The few waitresses at the scene were very enthusiastic. One of them might be a manager, right? When I heard about my family's birthday, I helped make suggestions when ordering. Starting with the choice of cold dishes, she made recommendations based on our tastes and preferences as well as the restaurant's signature. In the end, I really lived up to expectations.

The soups choose nourishing flower gum and mushroom queen soup respectively. It is very suitable to order flower gum soup for the elderly, which is nourishing and nutritious ~

Personally, I highly recommend "Small stir-fried beef". This is the real small stir-fried beef in Hunan cuisine. With red pickled peppers, this is the taste! I can't stop it at all ~ To be honest, even the pepper tastes great! Love it, love it ~

The family said that the "Yongzhou Blood Duck" they strongly recommended was indeed good. It tasted delicious and served with rice. Moreover, we originally wanted to order green vegetables. The little lady suggested this comprehensive vegetable stove on the side. The amount was too large and there was a warm hot pot on the side. Cooking it, suitable for the slightly cool early autumn in Changsha, what a thoughtful consideration!?

"Scallion Oil Baba" is still delicious from Changsha! Pinzhen's onion oil rings are crispy and delicious, but not overly greasy. After eating them, I feel a little regretful not ordering more ~

Ben Yue Piao also specially ordered a bowl of "Yang Zhi Gan Lu" to see how his sugar water was cooked. The result did not disappoint me. It was not much different from the one in Guangdong ~

To sum up, Wanda Wenhua Pinzhen Chinese Restaurant gave me a surprise that exceeded my expectations, and my family also enjoyed the birthday party ~

Food Market: Integrating Chinese and Western cuisine, buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner + a la carte menu can meet the needs of a variety of tastes.

Located on one side of the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, there are fairy tale portraits of soldiers decorated at the entrance. I heard that they were created for corresponding activities in the restaurant. Looking at the familiar costumes, I guess it comes from "Grimm's Fairy Tales"?

On the other side is "I? The iconic logo of "Hunan" is said to be also a classic check-in point for hotels. It seems that it has also been published in the media and given many shots.

The interior area of the Western restaurant is open and has sufficient floors, which makes people feel very spatial. The dining area and the food display area are also clearly separated. The open-plan kitchen is set up and everything is arranged in an orderly manner.

Breakfast: In addition to the regular Western style, there are naturally many local specialties such as tofu pudding, wonton, rice tofu, sugar and oil cake, Changsha rice noodles, and Hunan specialty roasted cakes! I, a Cantonese fisherman who hasn't eaten Huxiang breakfast for a long time, basically goes for these. I can't be too happy!

Buffet: It is also very powerful. There are Japanese sushi, small hot pot, Western-style barbecue sausage, and iced seafood can also be cooked according to customers 'needs... There are many types of desserts and have a high value ~ Dining here is simply a visual and tasteful impact ~

It is said that they like to interact with customers. From time to time during your meal, staff members will use small carts to deliver some of the day's specialties. On the day we went, we sent garlic little green dragon, grain-fed Baiji Australian cattle naked eyes and Buddha jumps over the wall. All by position! Moreover, the dish was full of ritual ~ I personally was very impressed by the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The bright utensils, the rich and nutritious connotation, the meat but not greasy, and the meaning was unfinished ~

What moved me even more was that the chef heard that my family was celebrating their birthday that day and specially made a bowl of longevity noodles with sun eggs! Moreover, the noodle soup was made with high stock. I also tasted a few bites and it felt very delicious! The taste will not be dull ~

One of the reasons why I like Gourmet Western Restaurants is not only the variety of Chinese and Western delicacies in the morning and evening, but also the fact that they have been playing a heart-catching piece of silk and bamboo music "Bamboo Dance". Every time I was upset, I felt relaxed when I heard this music. I have listened to it several times here at Wanda Wenhua, and I feel relaxed and happy ~

The lobby lounge, which is the favorite for business travelers, is also beautifully decorated and elegant, offering a variety of trendy desserts, snacks and drinks. Professional tea artists also serve Chinese tea ceremonies for tea lovers, making it especially suitable for meeting guests.

Because we are guests who enjoy executive treatment, we shamelessly told our little sister and went straight to the tea break in the executive lounge. Its afternoon tea for two looks like a summer set meal, with a three-tiered bird cage, a fusion of Chinese and Western, colorful, sandwiches, salmon rolls, chocolate mousse, cheesecake, ice cream, seasonal fruits, coffee and tea... There are many varieties and different shapes. You can enjoy the endless view of the Juzhou River and enjoy afternoon tea. I like it ~

Due to the full schedule, I had no time to experience its gym and swimming pool carefully, so I visited it as an ordinary guest and chatted with the little brother at the door to find out the situation. The little brother very enthusiastically introduced me to the basic situation of the fitness center. Sure enough, the equipment is advanced and professional. I also learned that they also have an appointment yoga class, and hotel guests can participate by making an appointment in advance at a specific time. A special WeChat group has also been set up to allow customers to meet their "healthy" better self, and they have done a good job ~

What is even more upgraded than ordinary high-star hotels is that Changsha Wanda Wenhua also has a luxurious private club "Mingshi Club", located on the top two floors of the hotel. It is specially designed for the city's elite. It has private elevators, catering butlers, and luxurious entertainment facilities and wonderful scenery of the city. Provide VIP members with private and exclusive business space and high-end leisure venues.

Anyway, we don't dare to go, and we don't dare to ask, haha.

As the birthplace of Chu civilization and Xiangchu culture, Changsha has a long history, profound cultural heritage, a large number of celebrities and scholars, and a highly developed entertainment media industry, which makes Star City attract tourists from all directions. The famous Orange Island, Taiping Street, etc. have long become Changsha's iconic tourist business cards. Of course, this birthday celebration trip will also include the rampage of Orange Island and the nostalgia of Taiping Old Street. You know, the hotel faces southwest and southeast, and we have a unique location!

As for its cultural business card, it has to mention the nationally renowned Internet celebrity tea beverage brand "Tea Yan Yue Se" and Hisense Plaza's "Super Wenhe Friends", a new urban landmark in the social era that even Father Ma visits. What makes the maniac of our detective shop happy is that there are two tea brands in Wanda Plaza just a corner away from the hotel! Don't have to queue up yet! The "Super Wenhe Friends" is only 1.5 kilometers away. We took advantage of the time difference to go to the shop. It was still popular but lucky as always. The shop eaters were really satisfied.

Zhen·"Xiang" should be complete.

"If the rhyme is like this, the mood will open itself." On the 2020th birthday trip of "taking my mother to try sleeping" at the Wanda Mandarin Hotel in Changsha, you can stretch out and relax. Autumn should be nice because you are here.😊
