preface

The most widely circulated saying about Hangzhou is the saying,"There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below." The world-famous West Lake is full of praise. Xixi Paradise is just 5 kilometers west of the West Lake and backed by Xixi National Wetland Park. It is China's first world-class international tourism complex, with a high-end hotel cluster as the core and integrating the China Wetland Museum, International Club, Xixi Paradise Commercial Street, tourism public service facilities, etc.

Xixi Paradise is positioned as a distinctive tourist complex in Hangzhou and a cluster of urban leisure and resort conference hotels. Today, let us walk into the "Jiangnan Dream in the City", listen to the ten years of ups and downs, and talk about life.

about the itinerary

The tour lasted about two days. I mainly participated in the opening ceremony of the 10th Anniversary Celebration of Xixi Paradise, watched the real-life performance of "Visiting the Garden X Dream", experienced the hotel cluster, visited Xixi Paradise Commercial Street and Qiyue City, visited the China Wetland Museum, and visited Xixi National Wetland Park, etc.

The 10th Anniversary of Xixi Paradise·Live Performance of "X Dream in the Garden"

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Xixi Paradise, Xixi Paradise held a media conference for the "Ten Years Moment" topic film and the opening ceremony of the 10th anniversary celebration of Xixi Paradise. The immersive garden scene show with the theme of "Garden X Dream, Jiangnan Dream in the City" has a variety of programs, including Kunqu Opera, Acapbela cappella performance, Hanfu garden show, hand disc and drum performance, kung fu water sleeve dance, etc., which is dizzying and dazzling.

The 10th anniversary celebration of Xixi Paradise "Garden X Dreams" demolished the "frame" of the stage of the Grand Theater of Xixi Paradise Art Center, encouraging everyone to go outside, leave the cold cement buildings, walk into nature, let the real scenery come in, and let the real water and real trees be placed in the center of the stage to discuss the harmonious coexistence of man and nature in a cordial dialogue with nature. The audience watched the drama on the bridge, and the people watching the drama watched you on the bridge. Unconsciously, the audience became performing artists, and the entire Xixi Paradise became a big theater and stage.

"The beautiful scenery on a good day is nothing to the sky, but who cares about it?" At night, on the water-friendly platform of the Banyan Tree Hotel, I watched the adapted Kunqu Opera "X Dream in the Garden" up close. Hua Dan and Xiaosheng were sitting on a rowing boat and passing under the bridge hole. Water mist floated on the lake, like a fairy scene, and the performance was vividly and vividly. This fantasy drama, adapted and recreated based on Kunqu Opera "Dream in the Garden", brings everyone back to the past era.

The playing of hand discs and drums is very small, but the music performed by the drummer and the timbre of the hand discs are really suitable for the occasion and full of Jiangnan flavor. The original 5-minute performance time was played for 15 minutes at the request of the audience.

Kung Fu water sleeve dance, a combination of strength and beauty.

Creative lighting street dance show, move to the central landscape square.

A cappella performance.

Hanfu Garden Show, young brothers and sisters dressed in Hanfu can be seen everywhere in the entire Xixi Paradise Park.

High-end hotel cluster, the entire park is a large hotel

Xixi Paradise is positioned as a distinctive tourist complex and urban leisure and resort conference hotel community in Hangzhou. It mainly consists of 5 hotels, namely Banyan Tree, Yuechuan Hotel, Sheraton, Xixuan Hotel and Brooke Hotel. Here, if you stay in any hotel, you can enjoy the services of five hotels. The experience is really great!

Banyan Tree

The entire resort is hidden in Xixi National Wetland Park, showing the charm of the Jiangnan water town everywhere, and a sense of elegance and tranquility exudes in the details.

Single Family Villa Guest Room

Hotel restaurant, afternoon tea

In addition, the hotel also offers a very interesting "Saddle Boat Afternoon Tea". Since the hotel is close to Xixi Wetland, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while rafting and enjoy the delicious afternoon tea, which is very unique.

I have to mention the very famous Banyan Tree Spa. Its decoration and services are really among the best and extremely luxurious.

Spa Spa Lounge

Spa equipped swimming pool, praise

Sheraton

If I remember correctly, Xixi Sheraton should be the first Sheraton hotel in Hangzhou. The biggest feature of the hotel is that each room has a balcony. The hotel also has an oversized banquet hall, ideal for business meetings.

Romantic top French restaurant

Buffet restaurant with rich dishes

Sheraton Spa

Xixuan Hotel

Internet celebrity hotel is a very distinctive hotel that combines exquisite elegance with the international top MetaSpa. It is a boutique hotel that provides guests with contemporary advanced beauty treatment facilities and health services.

In addition to being a library, Internet celebrity book bar also has a conference room and a small stage. The overall style is very design and artistic.

Xixi Tiantang Commercial Street·Qiyuecheng

In addition to the hotel cluster and Xixi National Wetland Park, there is also a one-stop complex with everything to eat, drink and play.

I have to mention here that I found a very unique "greenhouse kitchen restaurant" and the owner was very interesting. By the way, I ate many authentic Hangbang dishes and Hangbang creative dishes.

The huge Xixi Paradise is home to dozens of restaurants, large and small. Passing through the center of the landscape of Xixi Paradise, I discovered this "Treasure Restaurant". Coincidentally, the restaurant owner was also in the store today. It is said that bosses often come to the store because they like to collect ingredients themselves and personally participate in the development of new and creative dishes.

In the front hall of the Huafang Private Kitchen Restaurant, there is a pot room that specializes in cooking signature old duck pot, earthen chicken and other dishes. The aisle from the front desk to the restaurant is filled with two black hams pickled by the boss himself. The boss likes to make his own ingredients very much. The pickled ham and sausage, as well as various local river fish and river fish, and even dried plum vegetables are collected by himself in the countryside. It can be seen that the boss is very attentive. Moreover, with the boss sitting in the store, the quality of the dishes is naturally more guaranteed.

There are just too many delicious dishes, including all kinds of cold cuts, hot dishes, and desserts, which are a bit dazzling.

Secretly cooked drunkard shrimp, after being brewed in rice wine and white wine, a few drops of Wuliangye were added before being put out of the pot. It's so fragrant!

I guess most people have never seen lake crab stinky tofu, let alone eaten it? Autumn lake crabs paired with double stinky (stinky tofu and stinky amaranth stalks) from Shaoxing, Zhejiang. This dish is really amazing! I couldn't stop eating it.

The pancake has two ends of black fruit. The method of eating is based on Peking Duck. The aroma of pork with two ends of black meat, paired with pancakes and sauce, is delicious.

The sausage used in the home is Jinhua two-headed black pork. People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang should be familiar with Jinhua two-headed black pork. They are the "aristocrats" among pork. What's even more amazing is that the boss changed the traditional ratio of fat and lean meat in the sausage to make it taste better.

Eels are actually made from "fresh" eels instead of the popular pickled eels. In my impression, I could only eat this Hangbang dish when I was a child. Now I rarely encounter dishes made with raw eels. Moreover, the boss also used Jinhua ham in it to freshen up.

Nostalgic carp, the boss really has a nostalgic heart. Unexpectedly, in one dish, three kinds of Hangzhou cuisine were combined, namely onion oil, ham slices, and steamed meat pie.

Dongyang red-skinned mutton. The red-skinned mutton is actually made of sheep blood, but after special treatment, it is not fishy at all. On the contrary, the mutton is particularly crispy and special.

China Wetland Museum and others

The entire Xixi Paradise Park also includes the China Wetland Museum, Art Center, Pier, Internet Red Bridge, etc. The park will also hold the Xixi International Art Festival.

Xixi National Wetland Park, Xixi Tinglu Festival

Living in Xixi Paradise, how can you not visit Xixi National Wetland Park next door? It is better to come early than at the right time, coinciding with the 15th Xixi Tinglu Festival being held in Xixi Wetland. The 360 acres of reed flowers in the Xixi Wetland gradually began to turn white, and they were extremely beautiful. I heard that the Tinglu Festival will last until New Year's Day.

Taking the reed appreciation special line, you can only see the beautiful scenery during this season, and the ticket price remains unchanged!

Water Yue Opera Performance

Classical musical instruments

On the same day, Qiuxue Temple also staged "Separation-Species Conservation Plan", which was once performed at the Xixi Art Festival. The dance advocated "soft coexistence" between people and the environment. Very shocking!

In late autumn, the Xixi Wetland is full of forests and picturesque scenery. Taking the "Range Rover in the Air" high-altitude helium balloon, you can have a 360-degree view of the wetland from an altitude of more than 100 meters. In addition to "check-in in" Xixi, there are also classic "Xixi Evening Tour","Fisherman's Tour", as well as "Xixi Dragon Boat Experience Tour", kayaking and other water sports, allowing you to achieve all-round "water, land and air" Journey to Xixi!
