March begins in the world, and the colors of spring are slowly spreading across the land of Yangcheng. Guangzhou, which has always been known as the Flower City, exudes the atmosphere of spring everywhere in the city. The bright weather, the diffuse spring light, and the flowers blooming wantonly. Are you inviting us to go out for an outing? Pursuing the footsteps of spring and staying in Guangzhou Garden Hotel, I discovered that it contains the most charming spring garden.
For an authentic Guangzhou person, Guangzhou Garden Hotel is a feeling. Born in Guangzhou, I have known that Guangzhou Garden Hotel is a very famous classic five-star hotel since I was a child. When I was a child, I also longed for it. At that time, I just went into the hotel lobby and thought that if I could stay here one day.
As we grow older, the Garden Hotel is still one of the best classic hotels in Guangzhou. It attracts friends from all over the world with its unique Lingnan charm. I was very surprised when I came to the Garden Hotel this time. It is not so much a hotel as it is more appropriate to say that it is an art museum, because this hotel is full of treasures, and only by carefully tasting it can we discover its magic.
The exterior of the Guangzhou Garden Hotel Building is located among the bustling modern urban buildings in Guangzhou. It may not feel different from other buildings, but when you walk into the hotel, you will immediately be immersed in the eye-catching decoration design.
Walking into the hotel from the revolving glass door, what you see is the murals on both sides of the wall, namely Baimei and Baijun paintings, which instantly plunged from modernization to a classical feeling.
Continuing inside is the hotel lobby. The large-scale gold-inlaid mural "Dream of the Red Chamber" shines brightly. Black and gold set off each other to make it more magnificent. When the mural was built, a total of 200,000 pieces of gold foil were inlaid, just like the Grand View Garden in "Dream of the Red Chamber". Luxury. The murals show a total of 12 classic scenes from the Dream of Red Mansions, such as Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, Daiyu burying flowers, etc. Scene after scene seems to review "Dream of Red Mansions" in my mind.
The top of the hotel lobby is modeled after the design of the ancient Chinese royal palace roof. In the center is a golden dragon hovering at the top. According to reports, above the lobby is the hotel swimming pool. The golden dragon is designed here because the dragon lives in the water.
After check-in, take the elevator to the Executive Yueyun Room and push open the door. The traditional one-bedroom and one-living room type incorporates the ingenious thoughts of Lingnan Yueyun in the modern administrative and business room design.
Behind the screen is a large office desk, with kapok embossed symbolizing the city flowers of Guangzhou City dotted on the desk. It is exquisite and Western-style. You can also appreciate the kapok while working, and your mood naturally becomes happy. There is also an antique cabinet behind the desk, carved with exquisite flower patterns. I was still curious why the wardrobe was placed in the living room. When I opened it, I found that it turned out to be a minibar, and the cups, coffee maker, etc. were neatly stored in the cabinet.
The office desk faces the living room. The living room is decorated in a simple and fashionable manner. The Western-style sofa is matched with a Chinese wooden table. This combination does not feel inconsistent at all. There are snacks placed on the table in Shanghai. The gauze curtains are pulled open, and light shines through the glass window to illuminate the entire living room. Outside the window is the bustling urban scene, towering buildings, and the road with endless traffic. In this lively picture, the kapok flowers in the hotel are blooming red and bright. It is especially pleasing to the eye.
The mural above the double bed in the guest room is one of the scenes inlaid with gold in the mural of "Dream of the Red Chamber" in the lobby. The colorful murals are more lifelike, and the flying cranes symbolize auspicious signs.
The bed and the bathroom are separated by sliding doors, which are designed to separate dry and wet. A huge independent bathtub is placed next to the sliding door, and red kapok is also printed on the outer packaging of toiletries.
After putting down my luggage, I went to the Waterfall Falls Restaurant on the first floor. It was just the time to enjoy afternoon tea. The transparent large floor-to-ceiling glass windows were designed to provide a panoramic view of the outdoor garden waterfall. The view of each dining table could be enjoyed with the garden view outside the window. It was like sitting in a glass house and tasting afternoon tea.
The decoration of the restaurant is equally high-end. The black and white squares of the chess board cover the entire floor. Under the light from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the two colors of black and white contrast sharply. Near the glass window is a large-scale gold-decorated statue of Marshal Liu full of Lingnan characteristics. The exquisite carving of the statue makes it very realistic. It is reproduced in the Foshan Ancestral Temple in Guangdong. It is a symbol of Lingnan totem culture and the patron saint of the hotel.
Exquisite Western dim sum is equally attractive. Colorful colors dot each dim sum cake, and the milk aroma of the egg tarts overflows. If you feel tired, you can also take a sip of the tender Luoshen tea.

After afternoon tea, we walked around the hotel. The wooden spiral staircase next to the lobby attracted my attention. Unlike the modern escalator on the other side, the wooden staircase on the other side looked simple and elegant, connecting the first and third floors. If you wear the ancient Greek Ionic style wooden staircase, you will definitely produce a set of blockages.
Walking up the third floor from the wooden spiral staircase is the hotel's Mingshi Pavilion Western Restaurant. It is decorated with pure white gauze and is like a dream under the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Now it is only open on Fridays and Saturdays and requires advance reservations. It is said that marriage proposals can basically be successful here. I don't think any girl can resist such a romantic restaurant.
On the other side of the third floor is Liwan Pavilion, a Cantonese-style restaurant. The restaurant incorporates the scene of Guangzhou's former Litchi Bay night market. Litchi trees are wrapped around vines, and realistic flower boats are anchored to the side. Each flower boat has its own name. Jindaidi, etc., full of the aquatic customs of the Tan family. The flower boat can sit in it and eat, so I can't help but want to sit on the boat and order a boat porridge.
In the evening, we chose to eat at the hotel's Ting Japanese Restaurant. Through the Japanese curtain, the dark environment created a petty bourgeoisie atmosphere. When we entered the door, we saw the layout of welcoming pine trees, which gave a touch of Japanese elegance. Small green plants and potted plants were also placed on the table as decoration. The restaurant divides hand-held sushi, sashimi, iron plate and stove toyaki into four production areas. Diners can watch the entire process of food production to serving up close.
Japanese dishes have always been known for their exquisiteness, and Ting Japanese Restaurant has also brought this exquisite sense of ceremony to the extreme. Every dish presented has both beauty and delicious taste. The starter plate includes mustard octopus, sea salt ginkgo and crispy fried dried shrimps. It is placed on a porcelain plate with a shell fan shape. It is exquisite and beautiful. The dried shrimps are dipped in the sauce to eat crispy and crispy. The ginkgo is bitter and sweet. The taste of mustard octopus is also very appetizing.
My favorite sashimi platter makes people's fingers move. Tuna fish belly can taste the delicious flavor of fish oil in the fish as soon as it is imported. The teeth and cheeks are fragrant. The red shell sashimi is very refreshing. The meat of the golden carving fish sashimi is very fresh and sweet. When dipped in Japanese raw mustard and soy sauce, it has a unique flavor.
The sea urchin sushi is covered with fresh sea urchin and squeezed with a little citrus juice. The clear, sweet taste fills the mouth. The meat of the sushi on the right mouth is delicious, and the grilled crab stick sushi fills the mouth with crab stick meat.
The seaweed chicken is also roasted until the meat is tender and smooth, and the grilled mushrooms are also roasted until tender, with a taste of sauce. Tiger shrimp is put together with scallops. The tiger shrimp is also very big and the meat is firm, and the scallops are also very fresh and sweet. The beef in the beef fried rice is fat and tender, and a full bowl of fried rice is also sufficient.
The next day, you can walk through the glass corridor to the Koi Bar for breakfast. Here, you can sit indoors and enjoy the garden waterfall outside the window while eating, or you can just sit in the outdoor dining area and fully integrate into the garden. In the dark indoor environment, you can also sit at the bar and taste a cup of special tunes to feel the atmosphere of petty bourgeoisie.
Breakfast is a mixture of Chinese and Western styles. Not only can you have characteristics but also can you choose from in the buffet area. The exquisite Western snacks such as strawberry tarts and croissants make your appetite full. Water waves eggs and omelettes get full marks from the presentation to the taste. The sirloin stewed in red wine one bite after another, the sauce is locked in the meat quality, and the fragrant roast duck meat is tender and tender.
Cantonese-style shrimp dumplings and steamed wheat, osmanthus cake, thousands of silk and taro horns all have the feeling of drinking morning tea. As Cantonese people, they still prefer Cantonese-style refreshments.
After enjoying breakfast, return to the glass corridor from the executive bar and enter the garden for a walk to relieve digestion. It is rare for a hotel with a 21,000-square-meter back garden in the center of the city. Walking into the back garden of this hotel, the buildings seem to have entered another world. The noisy sounds are isolated, leaving only the lush green plants in front of me, the crisp singing of birds, and the fresh and natural garden giving me a chance to be close to nature.
The sun shines through the gaps in the green trees in the garden. When you are bathing in the sun, the air is filled with a refreshing smell. Walking across the wooden bridge standing on the water, the sound of running water is endless. The water from the waterfall not far away flows down from high places. As soon as they see someone passing by, red, yellow and black koi in the pool gather around them. Maybe they thought I was going to feed them.
Strolling along the tree-lined path and looking up deep in the garden, there was also a mural of Maple Bridge Night Mooring on the outer wall of the hotel. The kapok flowers in the garden were huge, some of which fell on the path, little by little red decorated with a fresh and pleasant garden.
When you walk to the Chinese-style door of the restaurant, you will see the decorations placed on both sides of the door, which are the Qinglong Crescent Knife and the Zhangba Snake Spear. The heroic spirit of justice during the Three Kingdoms period is rushing towards you.
For lunch, I arrived at the hotel's Taoyuan Pavilion. This is the hotel's Chinese restaurant. The antique wooden decoration is particularly eye-catching. When I enter the door, I will see two porcelain murals on the left and right walls. One is Taoyuan Sanjieyi, and the other is the Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu, which opened the curtain on the story of the Three Kingdoms.
Sitting in the lobby, you can see the scenery outside the window through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and you can also appreciate the kapok facing the hotel. It is the season of spring. The kapok outside the window is blooming brilliantly, and the corner by the window is also the most sought-after. You can taste traditional Cantonese cuisine while enjoying the Guangzhou spring scenery outside the window. If you choose to sit in private rooms, you will find that the names of each private room are also named after the characters in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". There are also lifelike portraits of people from the Three Kingdoms in the private rooms.
As a Chinese restaurant, Taoyuan Restaurant's dishes are not just Cantonese cuisine, but can satisfy the choices of more diners. Kung Fu tangerine stewed fresh ginseng refers to the brewing process of Chaoshan Kung Fu tea. When presented, it is like brewing a pot of good tea. The taste of the soup is also sweet, fragrant and sweet. It has both the aroma of tangerine peel and the umami of ginseng. There are also ginseng and tangerine peel on the plate. Only when you open the tangerine peel and tangerine peel, you will find that there is also a lean meat ball inside.
The chef pushed the work table in to make a bite of golden sour cow on the spot. The flames that rose when throwing the pot lit up the atmosphere of the private room.
The golden garlic bites the cow, and the dish is filled with fairy air. It is tender and juicy with the beef. When paired with the powdery glutinous garlic slices, the taste of the garlic slices eliminates the greasy smell of the cow, and it is surprisingly very compatible.
Pepper and sesame abalone crispy chicken is marinated with pepper and sesame before roasting, so the taste of the chicken also has a delicious pepper and sesame flavor. If you want to have a stronger pepper and sesame flavor, you can dip it in a little pepper and sesame sauce. The chicken skin is also roasted very crispy, and it is not a loss to call it crispy chicken. The abalone baked with the crispy chicken absorbs the meat gravy, which is also sweet and refreshing.
Steamed patches with olive oil and steamed with a Cantonese morning tea steamer. The grouper is sweet and tender. When served, it still exudes steam. The fish is also very firm, which suits the taste of Cantonese people.
Sakura shrimp rice court noodles are served with seasonal vegetables. The noodles are covered with black truffles and shrimp. The noodles are smooth and elastic, and the light taste is full of the aroma of black truffles.
You don't have to go to the suburbs to catch up with spring. Staying at the Guangzhou Garden Hotel in the center of the city can also capture the colors of spring. Stroll through the 21,000-square-meter Central Garden, or ask your best friends for an exquisite garden-style afternoon tea and enjoy the scenery of the waterfalls close at hand. I think this is what spring wants to do most.
