Entering the Regent Hotel in Chongqing, the first thing that catches the eye is the art wall made of ceramic splicing, which reproduces the posture of Chongqing's mountain city. The unique terrain of Chongqing often leads to the so-called "visual gap", and this wall is the use of this creativity. Starting from this wall, guests move in to the left and participate in meetings to the right, demonstrating the careful design of the hotel's flow. Walking into the lobby, a screen is erected to interpret the space and light and shadow beautifully. The screen is decorated with camellia, the city flower of Chongqing, made of cloisonn é, and many other designs are integrated with Chongqing's characteristics, showcasing the beauty and magic of the mountain city.

However, the value of a hotel lies not only in its beauty and design, but also in its service and experience. Pandy has always heard that the service at Chongqing Lijing Hotel has an unexpected experience, and after experiencing it firsthand, it truly lives up to its reputation. After checking in, the butler accompanied me and provided a detailed introduction to the room's facilities, while also transporting my luggage to the room. On the table of the guest room, there is a wooden box with a Nine Palace Treasure Grid, which is different from the traditional hotel's welcome chocolates and fruits. Inside the box, there are 9 local specialties. Sheep horn dried tofu, old Sichuan beef jerky and sesame sugar... both sweet and salty, both intimate and delicious. In addition, there are office supplies available in the sofa area, which can meet basic business needs. The bathroom facilities are also fully equipped, including a full set of Fumar toiletries, Dyson hair dryers, etc. Guests staying here can also enjoy free laundry and ironing services for 3 pieces of clothing every day.

If you need earplugs, steam eye masks to help fall asleep, or curling irons, dental floss, nail clippers, etc. Small things that may be forgotten during the journey can be provided for free by the hotel. All of these can be met according to your needs by calling "Lijing One Click" in the room. The sink is marked with over 50 items that the hotel can borrow and use for free, even hot pot deodorizers! It is worth mentioning that when room service delivers items, they are delivered through a door in the door, and Pandy can obtain the required items without face-to-face contact with the waiter, while also protecting my privacy. If you want to exercise at the gym on a whim but forget to bring suitable clothing, GYM in the hotel can also borrow sports pants, shoes, and disposable socks for free, which can be said to be very convenient.

When it comes to the cuisine of Chongqing Lijing, the hotel has different restaurants to satisfy everyone, the first of which is the lobby bar [Bar Gallery]. The sunlight shines through the bamboo curtains, leaving behind light and shadow. Recently, Barron's and Rolls Royce jointly launched a limited edition afternoon tea with only 5 servings per day. The teddy bear "waiter" drives the afternoon tea delivered by Rolls Royce. Inspired by the statue of "Celebration Goddess" in front of the car, the afternoon tea Dim sum created by feathers, stars, wheels and other elements is placed in the afternoon tea treasure box shaped by Rolls Royce's classic cars. It has both delicious and ritual feelings, and at the same time, it feels the glory of Rolls Royce brand for a century.

The Robbins steak located on the second floor of the hotel can be said to be the steak ceiling of Chongqing. The signature dishes on the menu are the iron plates and charcoal grilled steak, which complement each other with carefully selected red wine. The restaurant is composed of buffet and order main dishes, with buffet appetizers featuring a healthy variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, with over 30 different varieties. It also comes with smoked salmon, freshly cut ham, and various nuts, as well as over 20 varieties of desserts and drinks, making it overwhelming. The process of serving Western dishes one by one can be quite restrained, but during the self-service buffet, there is more interaction between people, which is a very pleasant experience. The main dish Pandy tasted this time was Wagyu from Australia. The chef stood at the table, chatting and cooking with the guests on teppanyaki, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Using glutinous rice and garlic sauce as seasonings, the grilled Wagyu beef is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, fresh, tender, and juicy. One bite brings a sense of satisfaction. Dessert is a desktop handmade tofu pudding with black honey, which is my favorite ancient early taste.

The highlight of this culinary journey is the "Michelin starred Kitchen Feast" jointly created by the Chinese restaurant "Lijing Xuan" and the Taipei Meifu Hotel "Mi Xiang". Mi Xiang Restaurant has been awarded one Michelin star for three consecutive years. "Diversified fusion and all encompassing" are the characteristics of Taiwanese cuisine, combined with a touch of touching human touch, forming this Michelin menu. The essential Michelin imperial product Buddha jumps over the wall in the table banquet is composed of 10 kinds of food that are slowly stewed for 5 hours, with seafood such as abalone, Yao Zhu, and flower glue, plus local flavor such as pork belly, ribs, and chestnuts. Different from Buddha jumps over the wall, which is commonly tasted by people, this soup is fresh but not thick, and each ingredient also retains its original pure taste. Specially made desktop five flavored sauce, paired with fresh and original nine hole abalone, perfectly presents the essence of desktop abalone. Wrap the medium roll (squid) with duck egg yolk and pea kernels, then slice and taste, and travel to Taipei in one second.

In addition, there are also "secret red onion steak" flavored with the unique red onion spice of Taiwan's indigenous people, or "emerald green heart river eel" that wraps ingredients such as Jinhua ham into eel bodies. From the ingredients to cooking methods, from tableware to the chef's personal involvement, all demonstrate the intention of joint cooperation.

The Chongqing Lijing Hotel's' Yu Kitchen 'is a restaurant mainly in the form of buffet. Chongqing Kitchen recently launched the "Wagyu Banquet Buffet Dinner" featuring Wagyu as the main character, with 9 Wagyu dishes paired with seafood sashimi and other dishes that make people enjoy it. For example, there are various ways of eating, such as the Middle Eastern style Wagyu Shawima, the Wagyu vegetable soup presented in the Chengdu Gaiwan tea brewing method, and so on. There are also dishes such as Wagyu Shousi and grilled meat brought to the dining table by the chef, which are not only delicious but also very immersive.

At night, located in the commercial center of Chongqing, you can see the brightly lit Hongya Cave from afar. You should know that this is the golden signboard of Chongqing's night scenery! On the other side of the hotel is the skyline night view composed of high-rise buildings, and when the Yellow Garden Bridge lights up, it also has a unique atmosphere. During our stay, it happened to be the crescent moon. Under the crescent moon, the lights, streetlights, and headlights of the Financial City flickered brightly, like the pulsation of the city at night, captivating people.

Of course, experiencing the night view of the city cannot be separated from cocktails. Located on the 7th floor of the Chongqing Lijing Hotel, the 'Liangjiang Bar' features hazy cage shaped hanging lights, comfortable sofa seats, and a dazzling night view of the financial district across from it, as if entering a magical world. Live JAZZ performance, strong saxophone and vocals, paired with a cup of specialty mojito, some Chongqing local specialty platters, three to five friends, enjoy drinking and chatting, and the drunken beauty brought by slight drunkenness, making Liangjiang Bar one of the most famous bars in Chongqing.

Don't you feel fully satisfied yet? Returning to the room, there is a mini bar with unlimited drinks available, offering dozens of beverages including sparkling wine, beer, and local brand Tianfu Cola, continuing the delightful experience of being slightly tipsy. Let's have some local Chongqing snacks packaged in the Nine Palace Treasure Grid, paired with the night view outside the window, it's another sleepless night.

The bathtub in the bathroom happens to be facing the night view of the mountain city, and the best choice is to bathe in this beautiful night. The bathtub is disinfected daily, so you don't have to worry about hygiene issues. I chose a rose bath with a strong aroma, all of which are fresh roses! Friends who like fresh smells can also consider lemon slice baths or bubble baths. Don't forget to put on the camellia facial mask provided by the hotel after finishing, and completely relax.

The 3-day and 2-night itinerary left behind a lot of reluctance and attachment. The cultural environment and cuisine of Chongqing have brought me a comfortable and pleasant feeling. And for the attentive service and experience that Chongqing Lijing Hotel has brought me, it is even more impressive. Chongqing will be a city that Pandy will visit again next time, and I hope it will also be a place where you have the opportunity to come and see.
