Winter comes after the beginning of autumn.
It's not yet winter, but Chengdu is shrouded in winter haze, and there is no sunshine for several days in a row. Let's say this, life has become boring, so let's go around for a change of mood.
Starting from the city all the way west, we arrived at Rongchuang Cultural Tourism City, which had just opened for business in less than 1.5 hours. Of course, this time we didn't go skiing or play the amusement park project, but stayed directly in Rongchuang Wanda Mandarin Hotel.
Sunac Wanda Mandarin Hotel is one of the high-end resort hotels around Chengdu. Unlike other hotels, the hotel is built around the lake and is all single-family courtyard villas.
The first thing you see when you enter the gate is the lobby and restaurant. The architectural style of the Shu Han Dynasty is a relic of buildings and pavilions. It has a classical atmosphere. It is more than ten meters high, showing its style.
On the left and right sides of the lobby, there are two very conspicuous prints,"Praying Water Dujiangyan" and "Asking on Qingcheng Mountain". In addition, there are guqin, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, etc., which show the elegance of a scholarly family. Such a hotel is unique in Chengdu.
"About guest rooms"
The hotel rooms are arranged in a line, a little distance from the lobby. You need to take a sightseeing bus to travel. In the one-bedroom hot spring villa we stayed in, you can open the door and see a mahjong room and a living room. In addition, the room is about 110 square meters.
The bedroom is classic and elegant, the bedding is well selected, and it is delicate and comfortable to lie down. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows is a courtyard with a hot spring soup pool, which satisfies the cold and humid weather of Sichuan. As the weather gets cooler, it is probably a happy thing to soak in the hot springs here.
"Chinese food"
There are few hotel Chinese food worthy of praise, and Sunac Wanda Mandarin Hotel is one of the exceptions.
Pinzhen Chinese Restaurant is mainly Sichuan cuisine and aims to create the flavor of my mother when I was a child. Many things are really not available to ordinary hotels, such as corn cake, dried radish, etc., are sourced from local areas, the ingredients are fresh and the taste is delicate. What is commendable is that the taste is unique and familiar. The moment you touch the taste, it reminds you of childhood memories.
The difference between the pumpkin mousse sauce duck made from the fusion of Leshan sweet skin duck is that this dish boldly uses a variety of Chinese herbal medicines, adds 18 spices to marinate for several hours, and then soaked in the sauce for 24 hours. Let the aroma of the sauce fully enter the duck meat, creating a unique flavor of the sauce duck.
Living water kimchi flower bone fish is made from soaked vegetables and peppers made from Qingcheng Mountain mineral spring snow blisters, and boiled with the flower bone fish from Minjiang River. It tastes sour, spicy and fragrant, and is full of appetite. You can't stop eating it with just a bite.
Ginseng fruit stewed chicken soup is a very nourishing soup and is very suitable for autumn and winter. It uses life fruits grown in plateau and snowy areas above 3500 meters above sea level. It is stewed for 8 hours. It has the effect of strengthening the stomach, nourishing the skin, promoting the body's saliva and quenching thirst.
"Floating Afternoon Tea"
You don't have to go to Bali. At Sunac Wanda Mandarin Hotel, there is also floating afternoon tea, which can be delivered to the hot spring pool in your room. You can not only enjoy the enthusiasm brought by the hot spring, but also taste various desserts and feel the taste buds. Beat.
"Western Food"
In addition to Chinese food, I also ate a Western meal in the hotel. The dishes ranged from former dishes to soups to main courses and desserts.
The starter is arugula sweet orange nut salad, which looks very healthy. The sweet orange juice is sour and sweet, blended with a slightly bitter arugula. The taste is rich and layered, with a sweet aftertaste, which is more appetizing.
The classic French meringue seafood chowder is made from a variety of seafood cooked for hours. It is definitely the very fragrant seafood soup I have ever tasted.
Low-temperature Australian steak is served with organic mixed beans and beef juice. This is the main course. After the steak is fried, it is sprayed and roasted with a musket gun. In this way, the steak has a burnt aroma on the outside, tender on the inside, and delicate and juicy meat. There are three small pieces in total. Most people will be full just by eating this steak.
Chocolate hazelnut mango caviar is a very delicious dessert. The chocolate has the fresh aroma of mango, and there are also crispy hazelnuts. It is neither very sweet nor very greasy. It can be considered for afternoon tea.
"Surrounding environment"
The hotel is located in the core area of Cultural Tourism City. At the entrance is Rongchuangmao Shopping Mall, ski resort and amusement park. It is only ten minutes away from Dujiangyan City and close to Qingcheng Mountain. Vacation here meets both shopping and leisure. The environment and air are good.
At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, it is like being in the middle of the mountain. Accompanying with flowers and birds in the tea garden, you can steal a half-day leisure. Away from the reinforced concrete of the city, even the air becomes gentle. Wenhua is a warm surprise and a rare tranquility to life.
