I once went to the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base with my friends and saw the naive national treasure giant pandas; I went to Daci Tea House, which everyone liked, where I tasted tea and chatted to experience the taste of local people's life.

This time in Chengdu, I avoided lively neighborhoods and tourists and came to Lu Town and Lu Lake in Tianfu New District to experience the new leisure and vacation model of Chengdu people.

Some people describe Luhu Ecological City as a "Chinese Contemporary Lakeshore Architecture Museum." Here you will encounter lakes, islands, parks, trails, and various landmark buildings and buildings, just like an ideal picture of life.

Driving to Luhu Ecological City, I deliberately circled around it, then went to the yacht terminal to take a boat tour of the lake and went to Luke Island; walked along the lake, passed through parks, children's playgrounds, camps, and also went to the dining district and cafe.

The first time I came to Luhu Ecological City, I fell in love with it and loved its ecological environment and cultural atmosphere. This is an ideal city park, where I hear the laughter of children, see old people resting comfortably on the lake, little couples taking photos on the island, and fitness masters riding kayaking on the lake.

Stay at Chengdu Lushan Amber Hotel

Now that we have come to Luhu, there is no reason not to choose to stay here. The Lushan Amber Hotel, not far from Luhu Ecological City, is undoubtedly the best choice. This hotel, located in the small town of Lushan and with a strong Italian Tuscan style, is a standard "first-sight beauty" and looks unique across Chengdu.

When taking aerial photos of the hotel, I could vaguely see the entire exterior of the hotel building, integrated with Lushan Town, filled with a strong Southern European style. Walking while it was like walking in Tuscany. I even smelled the wine in the air in a trance. Nowadays, this place has long been a check-in place for new Internet celebrities in Chengdu. During my stay, I saw many beautiful young ladies coming over to check in and take photos.

Let's talk about Amber again. Maison Albar Hotel Amber originated from the Golden Age of Art in Paris in 1923 and was founded by the Albar family. It is a low-luxury boutique hotel brand that has been well-known in France for nearly a century. The Amber Hotel in Chengdu Lushan is the first light luxury art boutique hotel built by the Amber Hotel brand in China in 2017.

The hotel is designed by Mr. Ding Xiaobin (Kevin), creative director of AHD Alexander (International) Hotel Design Consulting Company and famous high-end hotel designer; the inspiration for the creation comes from the artistic conception of "Happy Rain on Spring Night" written by Du Fu, the poet saint of Sichuan Province thousands of years ago.

The designer cleverly integrated French art of life with Chengdu's long history and culture and the unique geographical characteristics of Lushan to create a habitat with unique life and humanistic atmosphere.

Arriving at the lobby through the hotel door, what comes into view is a countertop decorated with flowers and floral art. There is also a "streamer" above the lobby, and the "streamer" connects the lobby and the reception area, blurring the definition of the space.

On the left side of the lobby is the check-in area. Guests can sit on a comfortable sofa to check in while tasting tea and snacks, as if they were back at home. There is also a cultural and leisure space on the right side of the lobby. It is a good choice to read a book and be in a daze here.

Across the lobby is a high wall, which hangs many works of art that look like "glazed rainbeads". It is said that each one is carefully carved by the artist to create a beautiful artistic conception.

The entire hotel, from the public area to the prestigious suites, is like an art gallery displaying contemporary art. From the lingering aroma of the faint green tea, guests experience a dual rest of their bodies and spirits.

Stay in warm and comfortable rooms

The hotel has 63 rooms. Themed rooms with seven different room types are distributed on the second to sixth floors of the hotel. Each floor can enjoy different views of Lushan.

The hotel has carefully and cleverly designed "sky, earth and wall". Each room integrates multiple regional cultures and carefully creates a diverse cultural experience. Under the Chinese-style main tone, it does not lose the European classics and modern fashion, which is in line with today's fusion aesthetics and is full of ingenuity.

Designers use smart wallpaper and modern art to balance the gap brought by Chinese and Western styles. The bedside background walls in each room are different. Some are ginkgo leaves and some are goldfish. They are painted with hand-embroidered paintings, which are the finishing touch of the entire space, which coincides with the beauty of artistic conception in Du Fu's poems.

The bedding in the room is equipped with American SERTA Serta brand mattresses, giving a very good sleeping experience; Italian SEGAFREDO Segarland brand coffee machine; guest bottled water, water source comes from local sources. The minibar is also equipped with red wine and carbonated drinks and a variety of snacks.

The bathing supplies come from Olon, France, and the fragrance in the hotel's public area is the fragrance essential oil from the French PLANTIS Prentis brand, giving a full European atmosphere. Every detail demonstrates the ultimate product and service concept of Lushan Amber Hotel.

The luxury room I stayed in also had a small balcony, overlooking the fence and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Chengdu New District. Of course, this area is also the best scene for friends who like to smoke.

Luxe Café Lu Coffee All Day Restaurant

Luxe Café Coffee All Day Restaurant cleverly renovated the original building, with transparent and wide glass windows, modern and solemn brass tones, exquisite and elegant decoration, a variety of selected wines, and an artistic dining environment, making guests feel like they are in the "beauty of the mirror niche" of the four seasons.

The hotel's outdoor dining environment is more like a secret garden, where guests can enjoy exquisite afternoon tea and exquisite dining in an environment surrounded by flowers.

During the two days of stay, catering is enjoyed at Lu Coffee's all-day restaurant. The restaurant offers exquisite breakfast sets, and guests can choose from Chinese and Western food options, paired with freshly squeezed juice and coffee and milk.

In the afternoon, the restaurant is redecorated. Exquisite flowers and tableware are placed on the white tablecloth. Exquisite afternoon tea and Western food are also provided every day. Guests can enjoy a French-style dining atmosphere here.

The restaurant's products are also exquisite. Whether it is steaks or desserts, the chef team is very attentive to the production and presentation. While enjoying the taste, it still improves the aesthetics of catering.

Yi·Executive Lounge

Presumably, the Yi Executive Lounge is also a favorite place for guests, with comfortable sofas and seats, an outdoor terrace and a separate small meeting room.

Multifunctional private room

A small building next to the hotel's Luxe Café all-day coffee restaurant is a meeting venue, where guests can hold small meetings.

Self-service gym

The hotel's self-service gym can be enjoyed with your room pass. If you want to exercise while on vacation, you may wish to come to the hotel's gym for a run to relax your body and mind.

Great places to go around the hotel

01

Chengdu Lushan Golf Course

Chengdu Lushan International's 18-hole standard championship golf course was designed by designers from JMP Golf Course Architectural Design Company in the United States. Throughout the entire Lushan, there are also North American-style Lushan International Community villas with master architectural designers responsible for the overall design. The course is 7300 yards long and par 72, allowing it to host world competitions. It also has a very special design concept and 18 holes.

02

Luzhen Weekend Market

On weekends, hotel guests can also go to the Luzhen Market, where various stall owners sell their specialty products on weekends. The stalls on both sides of the street have snacks, handicrafts, and local specialties. The lively atmosphere of the market adds a little fireworks atmosphere to Lu Town.

03

Luhu Ecological City

If you come to Chengdu Tianfu New District, the place I most want to recommend is Luhu Ecological City. There are Lulu Yacht Club, Lushan Art Museum, Luke Island, Tianfu Food Island and other play areas. Guests can experience the beauty of various buildings presented by internationally renowned architectural designers.
