Chongqing Rongchuang Wanda Vista Hotel

Chongqing has more than just high-altitude and river views.

Chongqing, which has been raining continuously for two months, surprisingly reveals a rare brightness. Under the extremely clean air, the sunshine and time are so beautiful. The sunshine shines on the face of my best friend beside me, like a muse in an oil painting.

I made plans with a few girlfriends, packed a large box of cameras, lipstick, sunglasses, long dresses, cloaks, and drove away as if escaping. Passing through the long and dark twin monument tunnel, mountains emerged, and sunlight shone through the gaps of the sunroof. A golden light shone in the carriage, and as the greenery grew stronger, the car turned a corner and the Chongqing Rongchuang Cultural Tourism City Hotel Complex came into view.

At that time, the sky was as blue as a wash.

Our hearts are filled with joy.

Taking photos is an indispensable part of women's gatherings.

When the shuttle bus drove into the hotel and a painting of Western Sichuan style unexpectedly entered the view, everyone couldn't help but cheer with joy - this place is perfect for taking photos.

The pool in front of Wanda Vista Hotel is as smooth as a mirror, bringing a touch of vitality to the wooden beams and marble walls of the door. The interior design is based on the "Wudu Mountain City" and features a unique regional style of suspended buildings with a bucket like beam structure, extracting a layered form.

The lobby is illuminated on three sides, with almost no partitions. Resting seats, front desk, and lounge are scattered around the completely open hall. The wide screen high glass windows fully embrace the skyline into the interior, complemented by ethnic musical instruments of Bayu style and handmade Shu embroidery as decorative elements. The atmosphere of the lobby appears low-key, luxurious, and full of natural dynamism.

In the guest room area, 78 sets of Chinese style courtyard townhouses and standalone villas stand around the lake, with a clever layout of stacked mountains and water, pavilions and towers, creating a winding and secluded garden scenery. Under the exterior wall of the villa's water mill is a white stone terrace, with antique flying eaves and roof tiles. The door and window grilles are not decorated with much vermilion powder, which is quaint and elegant, and pleasing to the heart.

Plants are faintly visible in the building, and sunlight passes through the leaves, casting shadows on the white walls, bringing a harmony between light and shadow. From a distance, the blue bricks and black tiles of the water, the deep courtyard, accompanied by bird songs, flowing water, and vines, create a sense of isolation and ceremony.

This is another world.

The romance of Chinese people is inseparable from the courtyard.

Despite the passage of time, people still hold a deep attachment to courtyard style living. Regardless of leisure, wealth, luxury, or uniqueness, all we seek is to build a small nest, obtain a piece of heaven and earth, hide in the courtyard, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the hall, look at the clouds rolling and relaxing on the eaves, make tea and read books, lie down and listen to the wind and rain, and wait for spring and autumn to come.

The uniqueness of a courtyard lies in the commonality between architecture and culture. The plants, rocks, flowing water, and decorations in the garden represent a leisurely and distant attitude towards life.

The villas of Wanda Vista Hotel are well versed in the art of courtyard - under the tree in front of the door, stepping on two levels of stone steps, gently pulling the ancient style door ring, the courtyard door slowly opens, and the whole process feels like a dream. Entering, the front yard is covered with green grass, and a secluded path is paved with bluestone boards. It takes a few more steps to reach the door.

The design of the double door not only embodies the style of a Jiangnan courtyard, but also provides dual protection for privacy.

It is precisely these few steps that create a reserved demeanor, creating a Chinese style indifferent sentiment, pure and implicit.

Unlike the natural exuberance of the Jiangjing Hotel, the humanistic atmosphere of the Lakeview Hotel is more restrained and profound. At the Chongqing Rongchuang Wanda Vista Hotel, the Zen spirit is clearly expressed.

The plaque at the entrance is taken from an ancient poem, and each villa has its own name. The "Autumn Screen Column Painting" we stayed in is taken from Xue Angfu's "Miscellaneous Odes to West Lake in Autumn" from the Yuan Dynasty - "Scattered forests with red leaves, hibiscus flowers about to wither, naturally adorning the autumn screen columns".

The guest room adopts a suspended roof with a bucket style beam frame and a sloping roof as the structural form of the space, making the entire space appear atmospheric. The four treasures of Rongchang (folding fans, summer cloth, and pottery) that are representative of the region, as well as handicrafts from the Ba Yu culture and Liangping bamboo curtain paintings, are carefully arranged to embellish the cultural charm that lingers for a long time.

The indoor space of over 100 square meters is divided into four areas - living room, dining room, bedroom, and tea room. The living room connects the dining room and the tea room, with ventilation at both ends and excellent lighting. In the afternoon, the sun can penetrate through the french window and spread half of the living room. It is the most luxurious holiday to have a afternoon nap in the sunset by the lakeside on the chair of a princess who is warm and baked by the sun.

The tatami style tea room is the most popular. Every woman who sees it first exclaims "wow!" and immediately takes off her shoes and goes to the kang to feel the moderate softness of the grass mat. When she opens the wooden window and sees the swaying bamboo forest outside, as well as the scattered green tiles and blue sky through the bamboo forest, she can't help but exclaim "wow~" again.

These two spontaneous sighs spewed out all the impurities of the world, leaving one feeling refreshed and happy.

The bedroom color scheme is elegant, and the embedded murals and living decorations create an atmosphere of both reality and virtuality, making people feel happy. The room is equipped with an independent bathroom and cloakroom. Beside the soft "Wanda Mandarin Bed" is a french window with a whole wall. The lake outside the window is beautiful.

The L'Occitane used as a spare part truly understands the hearts of women!

Open the french window, you can directly enter the private courtyard near the lake. Two outdoor lounge chairs, a coffee table, where you can invite the gentle breeze to sit, observe the ripples of the lake, and experience the leisurely atmosphere of ancient people enjoying the scenery.

The extremely private large independent pool, with dense treetops blocking most of the light, only a few of the setting sun lazily sprinkled into the bathing pool, making people tired and eager to enter the pool.

In the quiet of the night, immerse your whole body in the misty spring water, and the warm water slowly seeps into your skin, allowing your whole body and mind to relax to the fullest in this warmth. Above is the starry sky, with cicadas chirping by my ears. In front of me is a serene lake view, with a Ferris wheel reflecting in the distance. The wind carries the fragrance of osmanthus, causing the treetops to sway slightly. That night, the evening breeze blew by without feeling cold.

The unique butler service and Wenhua Angel of Wanda Vista Hotel are a highlight of this best friend's trip - the exclusive butler is on standby 24 hours a day, which is very convenient for a room full of "mobile phone controls".

After completing the check-in procedures, Wenhua Angel quickly arranged a shuttle bus and escorted us all the way to the guest rooms. Along the way, they also carefully introduced the design concepts of the garden landscape and villa.

After arranging and storing our numerous luggage, Wenhua Angel began to introduce the layout of the room, from the plaque at the entrance to the symbolism of the handicrafts inside, even including where there are sockets, curtain switch positions, how to turn on the TV... in great detail.

From the moment I added the butler's WeChat account, it never stopped - during the day, I had to change my slippers when I was wearing them, and after soaking in a hot spring bathrobe, I got wet... As long as I sent a WeChat message, the butler could immediately deliver them; By the way, the butler will provide smiling service throughout the entire process, including the delivery of lost cosmetics and the card reader left in the restaurant; Could you please make a bed late at night and add an extra bedding, just because everyone wants to experience the sweet dreams of a night in a tatami room; Even the early morning shuttle bus repeatedly made three round trips within half an hour - after all, the difference in makeup speed seriously affects the departure time of the beauties.

WeChat communication is so frequent that even guests feel deeply sorry, but the friendly Wenhua butler gave the greatest comfort with a sweet voice and quick response - "Okay, I'll be right there

Even if Second Master needs to go on a business trip to Macau for nucleic acid testing, the butler will inform him of the distance, approximate travel time, nucleic acid testing process, and cost of the nearby affiliated hospital of the Heavy Medical University City

Is this service an angel on earth?

Both morning and evening meals are served at the Fengnian Court Restaurant located on the same island in the lake, adjacent to the Wanda Jiahua Hotel. The lobby of Wanda Jiahua is equally grand, and the staircase leading to the restaurant is well-designed, giving the feeling of stepping out of the runway at any time. We like to slowly stroll around the garden and enjoy the sunshine as we walk past.

How long can a buffet of five women last?

The answer is, three hours.

Oysters, scallops, abalones, base prawns, with just one finger from the customer, will be immediately cooked by a specialist. Seasonal hairy crabs and freshly fried steaks can be cooked continuously by the chef as long as you can hold on. Rows after rows of creamy baked pork belly, stir fried Son of God, pan fried cod, radish and beef brisket, various types of sashimi... are all proudly displayed on the table for easy access. Baked Boston lobster, with a tight and chewy texture, paired with thick cheese, is a satisfying taste in one bite.

May I ask which young and beautiful girl can withstand such a dessert table?

When this powerful chocolate mousse, fresh cream chiffon, sweet and sour strawberry jam filled donuts, and various flavors of ice cream hit with chocolate cascades, women smiled knowingly after eye contact - tonight, use up this month's sweet food index!

After Mr. Wan, who is extremely self disciplined in body management, had done enough psychological construction, he stood up elegantly and turned around. The plate was piled up like a dessert mountain, and while savoring it carefully, he said softly in a Versailles tone, "Actually, I don't usually eat desserts... Hey, this is delicious. Do you want to try it

The day after enjoying the buffet dinner without considering the consequences, we decided to change our style.

The Pinzhen Chinese Restaurant, located adjacent to the main building and occupying a courtyard style building, has a deep corridor and a tranquil courtyard, with a strong Bayu courtyard style. Borrowing the spatial structure of the stilted house, the Chinese restaurant introduces Chinese red into the interior, and the theme wall is designed with concave and convex wooden blocks to create a miniature of the mountain city. The combination of traditional lantern elements and modern material pendant lights not only conforms to modern aesthetics but also preserves cultural heritage.

The restaurant's dishes adopt innovative cooking techniques of "Chongqing cuisine, Guangdong cuisine, and Chongqing cuisine". The combination of ingredients and techniques blends Sichuan and Guangdong characteristics, and the novel taste stimulates the taste buds of diners who are used to traditional flavors.

Blueberry yam cake is sweet and delicious; Cold mixed Arctic scallops have fresh meat and moderate spiciness; Spicy denim bones are rich in oil and have a spicy and fresh aroma; Yellow braised chicken is soft and tender, appetizing and served with rice. The most stunning dish is the signature dish - golden roasted goose with caviar.

Toast bread chunks covered with golden roasted goose puff pastry, garnished with caviar. Taking a bite, the rich oil aroma of roasted goose puff pastry bursts in the mouth, accompanied by caviar, which interweaves with fresh and sweet ocean flavor and oil aroma. Paired with crispy bread chunks, it is salty, fresh, and rich with grain aroma. Various flavors swirl in the gaps between the tongue and teeth, and the taste is long and mellow.

The dessert after the meal is low-temperature slow roasted durian. The durian, which already has a strong aroma, is roasted with flames, and every durian molecule is sublimated. The pungent smell becomes lighter, but the unique rich sweet aroma is amplified. Freshly roasted durian is still warm in the mouth, slightly sweet but not greasy. The flesh of durian is dense and delicious, soft enough to make the whole person feel crispy.

The afternoon tea is arranged on the terrace outside the lobby, where you can see the green tiles and lush plants of the villa group. The landscape of the terrace is created with style, facing the lazy sunshine. We sit here from the beginning of the day until sunset and dusk.

The afternoon tea at Wanda Vista Hotel is very distinctive, taking the shape of the Ferris wheel in the Rongchuang Cultural Tourism City. Each small dish is carefully crafted, continuing the mixed style of Pinzhen Chinese Restaurant. In addition to the common macarons, various mousse and chiffon cakes, desserts are also served with unique Thai style shrimp tarts and bacon and wild vegetable crispy toast. Even those who don't like sweets can find their love. It's best to make an appointment in advance, as such an exquisite and sumptuous set of afternoon tea takes a long time to present.

Tasting a variety of desserts and warm red tea, letting the early winter sunshine soak the warmth all over the body, chattering away when the urge arises, and daydreaming in the distance when one wants to remain silent.

Looking up at the scenery, it's still early, let's take another half day of leisure.

In addition to staying at the Rongchuang Wanda Vista Hotel, there are also Rongchuang Wanda Jiahua Hotel and Rongchuang Wanda Jinhua Hotel on the central island of Chongqing Rongchuang Cultural Tourism City. Compared to Wanda Vista with a full villa layout, Wanda Jiahua has a lighter style and a more approachable positioning, while Wanda Jinhua has an astonishingly large conference center that can meet the needs of various exhibition guests.

The Rongchuang Cultural Tourism City hotel cluster consisting of three hotels has a consistent style but different positioning, which truly enriches the business model on the central island of the lake.

The Rongchuang Yule Town, which stands next to the hotel in Gehu, is currently one of the leading open style amusement parks in China in terms of scale and construction level. You can enter the park without a ticket to experience the joyful atmosphere. There are many creative shops, diverse scenery, and exciting amusement projects in the park, including the rare U-shaped roller coaster and double helix roller coaster with a height of 70 meters in China. The Rongchuang Mao Shopping Center, Rongchuang Snow World, Sea World, Water World and other leisure projects blend the international level amusement park style with the local characteristics of Chongqing in a very interesting way.

Sitting leisurely, sipping tea, indulging in a feast, or immersing oneself in a hot spring to enjoy a moment of leisure, or going to the amusement park to play wildly

In Rongchuang Cultural Tourism City, it always inspires more imagination about leisure life.

The Chongqing Rongchuang Wanda Vista Hotel is located on the central island of the Chongqing Rongchuang Cultural and Tourism City, a 40 minute drive from the high-speed railway Chongqing West Station, a 45 minute drive from Chongqing North Station, and a 55 minute drive from the airport. You can enjoy tranquility without the fatigue of transportation.
