A few years ago, when I passed through Conghua, I discovered a newly built palace-style building on the bank of Liuxi River. Curiosity drove me to visit it. I didn't expect that I was politely intercepted by the security guard in front of the gate and told them that it was a private club and that outsiders were not allowed to enter. I had no choice but to leave disappointed. However, its name is engraved into my memory: Congdu.

In recent years, this name has appeared frequently in the media, and it is all related to famous political figures from all over the world. The annual Congdu International Forum has been continuously upgraded, and an endless stream of former leaders of many countries have participated in the forum. The Vice President has also visited many times to deliver speeches, and the country's top leaders have also specially received foreign guests attending the meeting. It can be seen that this has become an important place to discuss world peace, economic development and cultural exchanges.

Congdu Forum usually only opens for a few days, and it is a bit wasteful to be vacant outside the session. After searching from many sources, I learned that this is no longer a private club, but also a light luxury leisure resort open to the public. Although the price is high, I still choose to go on weekends to make up for the disappointment that year.

There were still security guards in front of the gate. After checking the reservation QR code, they kindly bent down and bowed and said "Please", then stood at attention and saluted. I suddenly felt satisfied and proud.

Walking along the park road, you will be dotted with greenery and flowers. After turning the corner, you will face two symmetrical arrow towers. In the rear courtyard is a building with blue tiles and yellow walls of Stanley. The corridor in front is a peak. The lobby is the top of the hall, and the auxiliary buildings on both sides are the top of the Xie Peak. The momentum is solemn and majestic, quite the style of a royal palace.

On the huge red carpet in the center of the lobby, there is an abstract sculpture, which looks like a flowing ribbon or a caring shape. On the back, a group of ancient shelves display bronze handicrafts, ceramic vases, tea sets, jade, etc., full of Chinese culture.

The lobby is surrounded by sofas for guests to rest and a piano. Check-in is in the next room. After receiving the key tag, the waiter warmly guided them to the battery car. It turns out that in order to ensure an elegant and peaceful environment, no vehicles are allowed to drive in the park. All areas in the park are far away, so we can only rely on battery cars to pick up and drop off.

I stayed in the Phoenix Official Residence, located in the Phoenix Valley at the highest point in the park. It is said to be the most luxurious courtyard. It has received former U.S. President Bill Clinton and others, and it was only opened to the public this year. The vermil-lacquer door of the official residence is covered with eleven rows of gilded copper nails, showing its noble status.

Walking into the gate is a magnificent garden. The tall hall in the center is called the "Main Hall". You can see that it is also on the top of the blue tile hill. The vermilion columns are neatly supported. The main ridges of the Dougong Mountain flowers are all golden and resplendent. The auxiliary halls on both sides are arched eaves and green tiles, and the surrounding corridors are hung high with palace lanterns hanging high. Several Podocarpus trees in the park stand proudly.

Go around the back of the main hall and lean on the railing and look into the distance. You can see almost the whole thing. The area is really shocking. It is more appropriate to call it a manor than a resort. The mountains and valleys are dotted with blue buildings. The Phoenix Mansion also stretches down one after another and has many independent courtyards. The greenery of the golf course in the distance adds to the elegance of the manor. No wonder Clinton exclaimed "China's Annenberg Manor".

When I enjoyed the viewing, I remembered that I had not yet checked in, so I searched for it according to the key number. The room was on one side of the official residence, located in the courtyard. There was a pool of flowing water in the middle, and pomegranate trees were planted in the four corners. This layout is a bit like the courtyard of the Forbidden City. The guest room is not large in size, but the space is very high, and the furnishings are antique and very comfortable.

After a little tidying up, I asked for a battery car to go on a trip. This is a unique service from Congdu. According to reports, it is available 24 hours a day. The car took me to the hot spring area, changed into a swimsuit and couldn't wait to jump into the pool. My whole body was instantly wrapped in warmth. There are only six hot springs here, but they are all rare radon hot springs, and they are hidden among the trees. The dense forest feels isolated from the world, and the smoke is shrouded as if I have fallen into a fairyland. At this moment, I completely integrated into nature. Throw away all ordinary irritability and distracting thoughts.

A few clear bird songs brought me back to reality. Seeing that it was getting late, I reluctantly bid farewell to the hot spring, but the temptation of the water was still unforgettable. Then I went to the swimming pool of the fitness center without stopping. The garden-style swimming pool itself is a beautiful scenery. The curved bank is shaded by trees and is half surrounded by blue-tiled buildings. There are also small bridges in the pool. The dragonfish stone statue spouts out water jets, which not only massages the body but also adds fun. The indoor heated swimming pool A long hanging strap on top, It's like rain dripping.

After playing in the water, I was happy physically and mentally, but I was inevitably a little tired and the sky gradually darkened. Therefore, I picked up the water and returned to the hotel lobby and went to Chaohuanghui for dinner. At first glance, the price of the recipes was extremely high, but after serving the dishes, I felt that the color, aroma and aroma were indeed of international standards. In addition, I drank famous wines with friends, one glass after another, and soon I became immersed in the relationship between drunkenness and awakening.

Returning to the guest room, I lay on the bed and turned on the TV. A promotional video introducing Congdu was played on the screen. It turned out that the glazed tiles on the roof of the manor were particularly blue, which was "Congdu blue" after countless adjustments. The architectural style was modeled on the Tang Dynasty palace, and the garden design was a fusion of the royal family and Lingnan. In my daze, I suddenly dreamed of returning to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
