One day tour of Moganshan Scenic Area

Moganshan Scenic Area is located in Moganshan Town, Deqing County, Huzhou City, northern Zhejiang Province. It is a national AAAA level scenic area with an area of 43 square kilometers. The most economical mode of transportation from Hangzhou to Moganshan is to take a train and transfer to local buses. It takes about 40 minutes for a regular express train starting with the letter K from Hangzhou Station to Deqing West Station, about 20 minutes for a high-speed train starting with the letter G or D from Hangzhou Station to Deqing Station, about 13 minutes for a high-speed train from Hangzhou East Station to Deqing Station, and only high-speed trains can pass through Deqing Station. After arriving at Deqing Station, you can take the Y1 tourist bus from the nearby Deqing Passenger Transport Center to the Moganshan Tourist Distribution (Transfer) Center, which costs 10 yuan, but there are fewer operating trips. Of course, you can take a taxi directly from Deqing Station to the distribution center or homestay. From Deqing Station to the distribution center, the regular ride hailing price is about 50 yuan: 17.9 kilometers mileage fee+duration fee+long-distance fee (charged for more than 8 kilometers), and a taxi is 80 yuan.

The three tourist transfer centers in Moganshan Scenic Area are located on two main roads in front and behind the mountain. Among them, the Moganshan Tourism Distribution (Transfer) Center is located 150 meters west of Huangfu East Road in Moganshan Town, the Houwu Transfer Center is located 200 meters west of Provincial Road 304 in Houwu Village, Moganshan, and the Raft Head Transfer Center is located 50 meters south of Provincial Road 304 in Raft Head Township, Moganshan.

Distance between Moganshan Homestay Village and Transfer Center:

Tourism distribution center: 12 kilometers from the county town, 1 kilometer from Yucun, 8 kilometers from Xiantan Village, and 5 kilometers from Laoling Village.

Raft Head Transfer Center: 3.2 kilometers from Naked Heart Valley, 6.4 kilometers from Dongshen Village, 4.9 kilometers from Fotang Village, and 4.5 kilometers from Ziling Village.

Houwu Transfer Center: 1 kilometer from Houwu Village, 4.1 kilometers from Miaoqian Village, 3.4 kilometers from Yaowu Village, and 5.1 kilometers from Dazaowu Village.

Self driving is not allowed in the Moganshan Scenic Area, and all vehicles traveling up the mountain must stop at three transfer centers. The Moganshan Tourism Distribution Center starts from the back mountain, passes through the ticket office of Gutianchi, and gets off at the Yinshan Street parking lot. The model of the bus is a 19 seat minibus, which runs every 30 minutes and is available at full capacity. The departure time is 0830-1630. The Raft Head Transfer Center runs from Qianshan, passes through Houwu Transfer Center, passes through Niutougang Ticket Office, and ends at Huating Parking Lot. The 37 seat and 49 seat buses operate every 30 minutes and depart at full capacity from 0830-1630. The round-trip ticket for tourists is 35 yuan per person. The on-site purchase of adult tickets for scenic spots costs 85 yuan, and advance booking through online channels costs 65 yuan.

The parking fee standards for tourism distribution centers and raft transfer centers (free parking at the rear dock transfer center): parking within 30 minutes (inclusive) is free, 10 yuan/vehicle within 30 minutes to 5 hours (inclusive), 15 yuan/vehicle within 5 hours to 10 hours (inclusive), 20 yuan/vehicle within 10 hours to 15 hours (inclusive), and 25 yuan/vehicle within 15 hours to 15 hours (inclusive).

When tourists arrive at Yinshan Street, they can choose to take the 19 seat minibus in the scenic area to visit the main attractions on a single loop route. Except for the Dakeng scenic area (which takes 2 hours to walk), the entire tour time is about 3 hours, and the fare is 15 yuan. They can get on and off at any scenic spot, and they need to keep their tickets. They also need to stick the ticket purchase voucher sticker in a prominent position on their clothes for the driver to check when boarding. It takes about 6 hours to hike around the entire scenic area. The bus route in the scenic area (counterclockwise direction) is as follows: Yinshan Street (walking to Huating, Yinling Pond, Jianchi Scenic Area, and Lianlizhi) - Empress Hotel (walking to Chairman Mao's residence, Yunyi Pavilion, and the former site of the Zhejiang West Special Committee) - Yinshan Street (walking to Moganshan Hotel) - Luhuadang Park (walking to Luhuadang Hotel) - Qingliang Pavilion (walking to Xuguangtai) - Wuling Village (walking to Chiang Kai shek's official residence Songyue Lu and Moganshan Villa) - Baiyunshan Pavilion (walking to Baiyun Hotel and Cathedral) - Moganshan Conference Site - Dakeng Village Scenic Area (you can walk to Rolling Stone Waterfall, Yuanfei Pavilion, Qianfeng Sunset Pavilion, Strange Stone Corner, Moon Watching Platform, Overview Pavilion, Tianmen) - Yinshan Street.

Main text:

1、 Mogan has no mountains and fields

I don't remember how long we haven't shed tears when we're sad, embraced each other when we're crying.

At this moment, I just want to warm and embrace you, and then let each other go.

There are several secrets in life, and I am willing to trust the evening breeze to tell you.

On summer nights, cicadas chirp, and I must be careful to sing those songs in the corners of mountains and rivers before you can receive them.

I was originally a very vulgar person, and if you don't care, I won't become any more beautiful.

There is no reason for people to gather, disperse, and separate in the world. I still need to put in a lot of effort to accompany you on the journey.

As the moon sets on the western mountain, I must be careful and write the letter between the sun and the moon before you can receive it.

In the story, you are the one who brings joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. It's better to let you know when we get old.

People always shed tears when moved, haggard when parted, wasted when reunited, and finally lost in the sea of people. It's better to hide in the mountains and wilderness, grow old in the ordinary, and still be together.

Although Moganshan is named after the unparalleled male and female swords forged here by the Wu King Helu's generals and Moye in the late Spring and Autumn period, it also boasts undulating mountains, lush bamboo groves, inexhaustible mountain springs, scattered villas, and diverse landscapes throughout the four seasons. However, the so-called "three victories" of bamboo, clouds, and springs, as well as the "four excellences" of clarity, tranquility, coolness, and greenery, are also exaggerated.

Moganshan boasts a picturesque Luhuadang Park, a serene Wuling Village, breathtaking sword ponds and waterfalls, a well documented residence of Chairman Mao, Chiang Kai shek's official residence, Baiyunshan Hall (the site of the Kuomintang Communist Party negotiations), a strange stone corner park with rich game, as well as the ruins of Xuguangtai, Famous Monuments Forest, Dicui Lake, Tianchi Temple, Moganshan Lake, Biwu Longtan, and more. However, the large number of scenic spots cannot compensate for the inherent shortcomings of the monotonous natural resource types and insufficiently prominent characteristics of the entire scenic area.

The development history of over a thousand years has indeed accumulated a lot of cultural landscapes and popular reputation for the Mogan Mountains. Numerous historical figures have left behind countless poems, stone carvings, deeds, and over 200 uniquely styled private villas for Moganshan. These villas are scattered across various hills in the scenic area, nestled in lush forests and bamboo groves, integrating architecture with nature. As a result, Moganshan Mountain is known as the "World Museum of Modern Architecture". In 2006, the Moganshan Villa Group was also listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit.

The scenic spots in Moganshan Scenic Area are far apart, and even if transportation is used, popular attractions such as Chairman Mao's residence, Luhuadang Park, Xuguangtai, and Jianchi must be walked up and down the mountain. The water quality of Jianchi is not clear, and the popularity and reputation of Dakeng Scenic Area are not very good. Two hours of walking is a waste of time and energy. The occupancy rate of Moganshan Villa and Baiyun Villa, which have been converted from old-fashioned buildings to commercial hotels, may not be very high. I have no intention of verifying specific data. The popularity of hotel parking lot vehicles and affiliated outdoor restaurants is enough to explain the problem.

Chairman Mao's residence is located at No. 126 Shangheng Road, Moganshan Scenic Area. It was newly built by Jiang Aier, Executive Director of Zhejiang Industrial Bank, in 1934. In 1948, it was leased to the Xiling Hotel in Hangzhou. At that time, Meili brand cigarettes were popular, and the owner named them "Empress" because the Meili cigarette label was comparable to that of the Empress. In March 1954, Chairman Mao presided over the drafting of the first constitution of the People's Republic of China in Hangzhou. He was accompanied by staff on a mountain inspection and stayed here to rest. He was attracted by the natural beauty of Mogan Mountain and wrote a poem called "Seven Wonders: Mogan Mountain": "Turning over and entering a seven person room, looking back at the peaks and valleys into the wilderness. It took forty-eight laps to pass, and the wind had already reached Qiantang." Afterwards, the Queen's Hotel gained great reputation and became a must visit place for tourists. There is now an exhibition room with historical materials, relics, etc.

Qingliang Pavilion, formerly known as Zhiqi Pavilion. The word "Zhi Qi" originates from the line "Zhi Bi Qi Xi, look at the mother Xi" in the Book of Songs. It was built in 1928 by Huang Fu, a famous figure of Xinhai, to commemorate his mother. The Xuguang Platform is built on the top of Mantou Mountain, which is like a peninsula. It is the best place to watch the sunrise and enjoy the mountain scenery in Mogan Mountain. Climbing onto the Xuguang Terrace, one can enjoy the panoramic view of Mogan Mountain, with only scattered towers and bamboo villas, forming a huge natural painting that is breathtaking.

Wuling Village is located on the top of the Jinjia Mountain (commonly known as the roof ridge) in the north of Mogan Mountain. The terrain is cool and the environment is quiet, forming its own heaven and earth. It is far from other scenic spots in Mogan Mountain and has a taste of "fishing alone", just like the "paradise" of the people of Wuling described by Tao Yuanming, so it is called "Wuling Village". Looking out from Wuling Village, Mogan Mountain is lush, with clear edges and corners of the Wenjin Pavilion hidden by trees. The Dicui Pond is shimmering with light, and the Xuguang Terrace stands with its head raised. The ancient Tianchi Lake is clean and serene.

The villa complex in Wuling Village was first built in 1894. These villas, mixed with Chinese classical, Western European pastoral, and European medieval castle architectural styles, are the favorites of the upper class society in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. For example, Song Meiling once lived in Songyue Lu, Jueyin Lou was Chen Shutong's old residence, and so on, are countless.

Among them, Villa 550 Songyue House was built in 1933, named after the surrounding ancient pine trees and the sun tower resembling a new moon. In July 1948, the Chinese Civil War had reached a decisive stage, and the Nationalist government decided to implement the "New Economic Policy" centered on currency reform in order to save the shaky ruling foundation. From the evening of July 26th to August 18th when they returned to Beijing, high-ranking government officials such as Weng Wenhao, Yu Hongjun, Wang Yunwu, and Wang Shijie gathered here. The Currency Reform Conference decided to issue the "Golden Yuan Coupon". As a result, Songyuelu became a witness to the collapse conference and was protected as a historical building of Chiang Kai shek's temporary presidential residence.

The Baiyunshan Pavilion was built in 1915 and is the villa of the famous figure of the Republic of China, Huang Fu. Huang had sworn sworn with Chen Qimei and Chiang Kai shek in his early years. In December 1927, after marrying Song Meiling, Chiang Kai shek chose the Baiyun Mountain Pavilion on Moganshan as his honeymoon spot and planted a beautiful tea tree. It was rated as the "most beautiful ancient tree in Zhejiang" by the Provincial Forestry Department. In March 1937, Chiang Kai shek held the second negotiations on cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party here with Zhou Enlai, then Vice Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Sword Pond, known as the "number one scenic spot in the mountains," is recorded in history. In the late Spring and Autumn period, General Gan and Mo Xie were ordered by King Helu of Wu to forge swords here, hence the name Mogan Mountain. Today, there are still relics such as sword pits, sharpening points, and test stones. The waterfalls and cliffs are the essence of the natural landscape of Jianchi, and the four waterfalls have their own characteristics. The main attractions include Yinling Pond, Panjia Garden, Lianlizhi, and Jiashouyan. Sword Pond is also the most concentrated place for Moganshan cliff carvings.

For someone like me who goes specifically to Mogan Mountain at the autumnal equinox, I neither want to cool off in the green bamboo forest nor witness the maple leaves staining the mountains red. Perhaps I just want to find a homestay in the mountains that exists like a fairyland.

Huimo Shenlu Boutique Homestay is far from the Moganshan Scenic Area, and even the small village of Xiantan is far away from the center of the Biwu Longtan Scenic Area. Between the green mountains and bamboo sea, the wooden door between the bamboo fences is pushed open. Behind a row of bamboo forests, a two-story main building with a simple design is quietly reflected in the rippling open air swimming pool.

The hall is spacious and spacious, with two bamboo woven chandeliers hanging in between. The root tea table brought from Thailand complements each other. A gentle breeze blows, and bamboo leaves rustle outside the door. If you find a comfortable position to lie down on the sofa, you can leisurely watch the light and shadow outside the window dancing on the wall.

I thought to myself that when the mountain flowers were blooming, a randomly picked azalea could embellish this place into a painting. Soak a pot of dried yellow sprouts, pick two or three desserts, take an old book, chew on those love stories or bizarre folk anecdotes that never tire of reading, this heart is at peace with my hometown.

Each guest room in the homestay has an elegant name: Danyue, Qianxi, Sicha, Yulu, Qingxu, Luan Jing, Jinduan, Xianchuang, Sizhu, and Wuge. Stepping on the blue slate from the front desk to the room, I just wanted to experience the artistic conception behind different names one by one.

A complete set of Kohler bathroom, high-definition large screen LCD TV, Jinke bedding, high count cotton linen, whole house floor heating for indoor use, and Appelles black label toiletries are standard accessories for each room. Fresh fruits are ready on the coffee table, and the unique bonsai in the corner is bursting with vitality.

If it weren't for the whole family coming, I wouldn't have chosen the Loft family room on the second floor. The free window at the end of the first floor is my favorite. 180 degree floor to ceiling glass window, push open to create a natural experience. Listening to the rain in the idle window, I spread my books, and the fragrance of mulberry wine and the beauty of Lu oranges.

For dinner, the original farmhouse dishes include free range chicken stew, braised crucian carp, fried potato patties, farmhouse hairy vegetables, green pepper and dried bamboo shoots. The dishes in the soup are a taste that has been around for years.

The dusk is gradually fading, thanks to being far away from urban light hazards, one can see the brilliant bamboo sea and starry sky here.

As time goes by, green bamboos in the mountains are still hung with morning dew. The new day is full of vitality with peanuts, pickled melons, Fermented bean curd, salted eggs, sweet potatoes, corn, Mantou, eggs, Mantou, porridge, and milk.

But is this the life I want? The material form of homestays was introduced into Moganshan and quickly spread throughout the country, but the concept of homestays did not deeply penetrate the hearts of design, construction, investment, and operation managers.

How many homestays are there around the Moganshan Scenic Area? Is the daily occupancy rate of these hundreds or thousands of homestays guaranteed? Has the development of rural tourism resources in the surrounding areas been excessive in this way? I may not be able to get answers to these questions. I just feel that these types of homestays generally lack design elements that combine local tourism resources, let alone incorporating cultural, historical, and cultural themes. The way of entertaining guests is just a formality, but the various fee items are very practical. It is understandable that people always flock to commercial interests, and whether the same business model can be sustained for a long time is not even expected by operators. I have never stayed in any more Moganshan homestays, but my real experience tells me that Guiyin Tianju cannot be opened in such a way that emotions are defeated by reality. Life is a besieged city.

2、 Lin'an and Juntong Yue

Everyone has their own secret realm, and in the fairy tale of our hearts, we don't have to worry about the chaos of the real world. Think about where to go before going to bed, we meet in a secret realm.

The wind chime next door in my dream kept chirping, acting coquettishly without a plan. If suddenly seen, its song would start to lose its tune.

I quietly waited for my partner on the side, she would bring two dinners, and we agreed to go see the sea.

In autumn, Hangzhou is still hot and dry. I have already traveled to famous and popular scenic spots such as West Lake, Lingyin Temple, and Xixi Wetland. This time, I just want to find a hotel to sleep in, and when I open my eyes, I see the autumn scenery and mountains.

Looking at the world location distribution of Grand Hyatt Hotel, you can easily find that Grand Hyatt Hotel is located in major gateway cities and tourist resorts all over the world. As a city with the West Lake, which was listed on the UNESCO The World Heritage List as early as 2011, Grand Hyatt Hangzhou has successfully upgraded its brand.

Although the official upgrade from Hyatt to the Grand Hyatt brand took place on December 18, 2018, the overall upgrade and renovation of the hotel began in 2017. The upgrade and renovation are carried out by the award-winning Thai interior design company P49 Design And Associated Co. Ltd. When it comes to the design works of P49, the Pure Heart Village design concept of Lijiang Jinmao Hyatt Zhenxuan Hotel can be said to be a model work that combines rich retro Naxi ethnic style with modern and fashionable quality lifestyle.

The Grand Hyatt Hangzhou has basically completed the upgrading and renovation of public areas, guest rooms, conferences, banquets, restaurants, and other areas. The upgraded hotel cleverly incorporates the local characteristics of Hangzhou into its design, providing guests from all directions with a diverse cultural experience.

The Grand Hyatt Hangzhou, located at 28 Hubin Road, perfectly conceals itself in the autumn scenery by the West Lake with a winding and secluded atmosphere.

The hotel is located in the West Lake waterfront commercial district, facing the Hubin Road Trail in front, and the West Lake Music Fountain is within reach. The back and sides are areas A, B, C, D, and E of Hubin Yintai, with luxury brands, boutique clothing, internet famous restaurants, digital appliances, and more. It is not an exaggeration to say that you can enjoy a whole day of shopping, eating, and dining here without looking the same. The hotel is only 500 meters away from the nearest Longxiang Bridge subway exit. It is about 3 kilometers away from Hangzhou Railway Station and about 30 kilometers away from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport. The surrounding public transportation is extremely convenient. After the renovation of the commercial pedestrian blocks on Dongpo Road, Pinghai Road, and Shixue Road, they were officially opened on October 1, 2019. If your trip is a homestay hotel, then having an international chain brand five-star hotel with such a geographical location is your best choice. Landscape, food, drink, and entertainment are all under control.

West Lake Scenic Area is a national AAAAA level scenic area with a total area of 49 square kilometers, with a lake surface area of 6.38 square kilometers alone. The south, west, and north sides of West Lake are surrounded by mountains, and the Bai Causeway, Su Causeway, Yang Gong Causeway, and Zhao Gong Causeway in the lake divide the lake surface into several water surfaces. West Lake has over 100 park attractions, over 60 national, provincial, and municipal key cultural relics protection units, and more than 20 museums. There are well-known attractions such as Broken Bridge, Leifeng Pagoda, Qianwang Temple, Jingci Temple, and Su Xiaoxiao Tomb. It takes at least two days to fully explore them.

The size of West Lake is so large that there are naturally many international chain five-star hotels located around it, such as Shangri La, Four Seasons, Wyndham, Sofitel, and some old local hotels. Brand loyalty, design style, psychological price point, location and environment, and room characteristics determine the choice and orientation of guests towards staying in a hotel. And I may prefer the Grand Hyatt hotel, which combines natural scenery and cultural atmosphere.

It is not allowed to build high-rise buildings by the West Lake, but I just need to wake up from the king bed of the lake view room on the sixth floor of the hotel, press the electric curtain remote control button, and the autumn water and mountain scenery will be fully visible.

Speaking of cultural atmosphere, the lobby lounge, restaurant, guest rooms, spa and fitness center, and business conference facilities of the Grand Hyatt Hangzhou reflect regional cultural characteristics everywhere.

Eight thousand years ago, the cross lake bridge culture in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou witnessed the birth of Chinese lacquerware culture. Starting from Hangzhou, it has gone through various periods until the Song and Yuan dynasties, ushering in the golden age of Chinese lacquerware and giving birth to countless brilliant lacquerware masterpieces.

The technique of making crystal clear and moist lacquer during the Tang Dynasty promoted the prosperity of the Song Dynasty's lacquerware; The emergence of carved lacquer, the maturity of techniques such as gold and silver stripping and stacking lacquer, also made the decoration of Tang Dynasty lacquerware magnificent and exquisite.

During the Five Dynasties period, the center of lacquerware production moved southward, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang became the main production areas of lacquerware. By the Song Dynasty, folk workshops had become increasingly prosperous, and "Zhejiang lacquerware" was known as the "number one in the world". Hangzhou lacquerware was the most famous.

The grand lobby and high atrium are complemented by brilliant sunlight and modern lighting. The lobby is decorated with Crema Maffei marble and gray brown solid wood paneling. The handblown glass screen stands tall, shimmering like the lake in the sunset. The eye-catching modern crystal chandeliers and large traditional lacquer murals are breathtaking. The upper layer of the Chinese red lacquer painting depicts the West Lake surrounded by mountains, and the shiny three-dimensional water ripples make the entire lobby lively.

The comfortable sofa seats and spacious leisure chairs in the lobby lounge are intertwined, becoming a social stage for self-expression. This can be a business meeting for tea and coffee, a social gathering for afternoon tea, or an appetizer before dinner. A cup of Hangzhou tea promptly served by the lobby staff after you sit down will make you instantly feel the deep-rooted tea culture in the hearts of Hangzhou people. A cup of Hangzhou tea expresses the historical context of Hangzhou, using tea to nourish one's character, make friends with tea, demonstrate etiquette with tea, discuss morality with tea, and nourish the heart with tea. Tea is a cultural carrier with strong Eastern characteristics.

Located on the second floor of the hotel, Junfu is a lakeside reception space carefully designed by the hotel for guests. The mansion style design overlooking West Lake has an extraordinary grandeur, including a series of multifunctional activity spaces and an open kitchen, combining high quality and privacy. In your mansion, there are thick seals placed around, constantly reminding guests of the existence of the Xiling Seal Society.

The Xiling Seal Engraving Society is a fusion of classical culture and modern civilization. In every inadvertent scenery, there may be hidden inscriptions of gold and stone, which is the unique feature of the Xiling Seal Engraving Society, known as the "Number One Society in the World". Similarly, hotels also want to silently tell guests the cultural stories behind every architectural detail here, and the spiritual inheritance behind every cultural story.

Green is a color favored by the Song people, and this aesthetic comes from the ancient people's love for nature. Green is the color of nature, as explained in "Er Ya": "Spring is the green sun, which means that all things are born.".

Lin'an was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the official kilns were the highest ceremonial offerings to the outside world during the Southern Song period. The enamel of celadon porcelain is warm and thick like jade, with an ancient and elegant design. The pursuit of "green" reflects the Song people's adherence to nature and the character of a gentleman.

The hotel has 388 comfortable and elegant luxury rooms and executive suites, covering an area ranging from 34 to 240 square meters. From textured wall decorations to exquisitely detailed soft furnishings, from furniture infused with traditional craftsmanship to artworks showcasing a fashionable vibe, items such as celadon teapots, cups, and red painted storage cabinets are randomly distributed in the guest rooms. The design style cleverly incorporates Chinese elements and Hangzhou characteristics into a modern and comfortable atmosphere, making the stunning scenery of lakes, mountains, or ancient cities a highlight.

These details are a concrete manifestation of the Hangzhou Grand Hyatt Hotel's continuous pursuit of excellent quality.

With the upgrade of the hotel brand, the Grand Hyatt Hangzhou has also updated a large number of hardware facilities in restaurants, guest rooms, spa fitness centers, and other places, such as the Pira oven at the Grand Hyatt steakhouse, a complete set of Roca bathroom fixtures in guest rooms, and the latest Power Plate fitness equipment (which I roughly understand as an accelerated exercise fat thrower).

Although my travels have never been as simple as just sleeping in a hotel, good hotel software and hardware facilities do help promote deep sleep, especially in unfamiliar environments where sufficient sleep can make travel more energetic.

When staying at hotels under the Hyatt brand, you shouldn't miss the spa. When experiencing the spa at the Grand Hyatt Hangzhou, don't forget to choose the most local osmanthus essential oil product. Osmanthus essential oil has the effects of calming and antibacterial, dispelling cold and rheumatism, whitening the skin, detoxifying the body, promoting blood circulation, and delaying aging. A 60 minute massage therapy is enough to rejuvenate you.

The room cleaning spare parts are still the ones I am familiar with, June Jacobs, which is also a universal cleaning spare part under the Hyatt Hotels Group brand. Zunjipa is a well-known SPA spa skincare brand, committed to providing customers with high-quality and luxurious skincare products. Zunjipa products combine anti-aging technology with natural skin care ingredients. The hydrosol rich in plant extract essence is easier to be absorbed by the skin, soothes the skin, has no irritation and discomfort, and restores its natural and young vitality. Its anti-aging product formula contains white tea, black tea and green tea essence ingredients, while integrating medlar, pomegranate and grape seed essence to help resist free radicals, prevent skin from being damaged by harmful environment, prevent various signs of aging, and maintain skin's youthful vitality forever. In addition, the formula of Zunjipa's entire product line indicates that it does not contain any form of preservatives, synthetic fuels, chemical petroleum and synthetic essence. The spare container in the guest room is labeled as Paraben Free, so guests can use it with confidence.

The brand June Jacobs may seem unfamiliar to many people, but in fact, it is also a cooperative brand under Peter Thomas Roth. In this way, everyone may be familiar with this brand a lot. In fact, besides Hyatt, other international five-star hotel chain brands are also being used.

To be honest, as for the high-tech ingredients contained in these skincare products, ordinary users will not undergo scientific identification, and the real experience is the best proof. The Zunjipa SPA series is rich in green tea and cucumber ingredients. In this not so cool and humid autumn day in Hangzhou, it can provide good moisturizing and protective effects on the skin. The fragrance is light and light, appearing low-key and luxurious. Just as the hotel rooms hidden in the bustling city center, within reach of the eye, are the core scenery of the city.

In terms of mattresses, of course, Simmons is also chosen. I don't need to say much about this brand of mattresses. The strong support effect, reinforced comfortable cushion, and strong breathability make it suitable for humid weather in Jiangnan. At the same time, it protects the guest's spine all night long.

In terms of bedding, the Hanse organic pillow and duvet from Germany are also available. The pillow comes with a breathing function, while the duvet has a cooling zone that can automatically adjust the temperature, ensuring a perfect sleep temperature.

The experience of mattresses and bedding is only known through personal sleep, so it is useless to say more.

As for other entertainment and leisure equipment, the wide screen intelligent audio and video system and the rich content mini bar also represent the hotel's meticulous and humanized service concept. JBL's LCD screen alarm clock also has Bluetooth audio connection function, making it convenient for guests to connect to their devices at any time, creating a personalized audio-visual environment.

Catering services have always been a characteristic of Hyatt Hotels Group, and with the brand upgrade of Grand Hyatt Hangzhou, while retaining traditional Chinese cuisine features, the internationalization of hotel catering has also been strengthened.

The origin of Hangbang cuisine can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, over a thousand years ago. At that time, Lin'an, as a bustling capital, was bustling with famous chefs from both the north and south, and merchants from all walks of life gathered here. Hangbang cuisine reached its peak. Su Dongpo once said, "The prosperity of wine and banquets in the world has never been like that of Hangzhou.". Hangbang cuisine is divided into two major schools: "Lake style" and "City style". "Lake style" mainly uses fish, shrimp, and poultry as ingredients, and is skilled in techniques such as stir frying, stewing, and tender frying. It emphasizes the taste of clear, fresh, crispy, and tender, and emphasizes the preservation of the original flavor; The ingredients used in "Chengxiang" are mainly meat, and the cooking methods are mainly steaming, stewing, boiling, and burning. It emphasizes the taste of light oil, light sauce, and light and tender, emphasizing the combination of fresh and salty.

Since its establishment, Hubin 28 Chinese Restaurant has been renowned both domestically and internationally for its authentic Hangzhou style cuisine. Since its opening, the restaurant has received unanimous praise from people from all walks of life, and the quality of its dishes has always been above a high level. It has also been listed as one of the top 50 restaurants in Asia by the British Restaurant magazine for three consecutive years. From 2016 to 2017, it won the three cups of the annual wine list award from the Chinese Association of sommeliers. In 2018, it won the LA List for the fourth time as one of the world's best 1000 restaurants, making it a gathering place for many food enthusiasts.

Hubin 28 Chinese Restaurant is designed as a mansion. The wall of the lobby is decorated with rice buckets for weighing grain and porcelain jars for pickling Pickled vegetables collected from the folk. The seven boxes are named after the place names of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. In the box, the old wooden wardrobe is used as the storage place for clothes and hats, the gate plate of the old house is used as the table top, and the hollowed out old windows are used as the screen partitions. The entire restaurant design contains rich elements of traditional Chinese culture.

In terms of dishes, Hubin 28 Chinese Restaurant provides traditional Hangzhou flavor and special dishes of surrounding cities such as Zhenjiang cuisine, Huaiyang Cuisine, Suzhou cuisine, etc. Traditional famous dishes, such as Fried Shrimps with Longjing Tea, Beggar's Chicken, Dongpo Braised Pork, crab meat and lion's head, squirrel mandarin fish, Jiangnan rich chicken, gold medal braised pork, etc., have been innovatively developed here - either fresh and refreshing, or smooth and juicy, or fat but not greasy, or sweet and sour. Whether it is the choice of materials, knife work, or seasoning, they are all meticulously crafted, emphasizing the flavor and the original taste of the raw materials, reflecting the different characteristics of the dishes, such as fresh, fragrant, crisp, tender, waxy, fine, and rotten. The cooking team of the restaurant not only explores the essence of traditional dishes, but also ensures the purity of the taste Yes, more emphasis on nutrition and health.

This stay at the hotel also coincided with the seasonal update of the menu at the 28 Chinese restaurants by the lakeside. Fortunately, I tasted Master Cheng Yu's customized autumn menu for the first time this year.

Before sitting down, one should first taste a cup of Longjing tea. You should know the tea drinking style in Hangzhou. Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, when the poet Xie Lingyun was translating Buddhist scriptures in India, he introduced tea from Tiantai Mountain and has a history of thousands of years.

Cold Dish Platter is a combination of six dishes, consisting of three meat and three vegetables. The three vegetables are West Lake lotus root, Tianmu dried bamboo shoots with stir fried mushrooms, and sauce flavored crispy in one bite. The three meat dishes are Longjing tea flavored fragrant cinnamon fish, tea flavored pigeon egg stuffed goose liver, and bright red and tender frozen meat. Six Hangzhou specialty ingredients showcase six Hangzhou flavors, leaving a lingering fragrance on the cheeks and unforgettable memories.

Honey infused lotus seeds and Beibei melons have a soft and sticky taste, sweet but not greasy. The bright yellow and milky white color tone makes one's appetite strong.

Song Sao fish soup is a famous dish of the Southern Song Dynasty, with a history of over 800 years. It is said that during a leisurely boat trip to West Lake by Emperor Gaozong of Song, Zhao Goudeng encountered a woman selling fish soup. Zhao Gou tasted her fish soup and greatly appreciated it, making Song's sister-in-law's fish soup a famous delicacy in the capital. Hubin 28 Chinese Restaurant has improved its food ingredients by changing the main ingredients to the North Atlantic cod with thick meat and higher nutritional value, and roasting it until the flavor overflows. The milky white thick soup is the soup formed by boiling the black fish for a long time. The chef adds Rolls of dried bean milk creams silk, black fungus silk, carrot silk, ginger silk, leek granules, coriander and cucumber slices to the thick, salty and healthy fish soup.

Autumn seasonal fresh vegetables gather the freshest vegetables of the season, including lentils, black fungus, lilies, cauliflower, mushrooms... This is the taste of autumn.

Cooking and frying large flower shrimp, the meat is fresh and fragrant, and the golden garlic grains are crispy and crispy, creating a sheltered pond flavor.

Braised East Sea swimming crab with eggplant, the deliciousness of crab meat fully blends into the smoothness of eggplant, and when paired with scallions, it can also relieve greasiness. Due to the fact that hairy crabs have not yet reached their prime, swimming crabs are just a good substitute.

Qiantang River Eel Braised Australian Beef is a typical hard dish with a strong oil and red sauce style. The ingredients are classic and the meat is sweet.

Hawthorn ice cream balls paired with fresh seasonal fruits are served on a Chinese style tray, giving it a sense of time travel.

I heard there are also a wide variety of seasonal desserts: butter Swiss rolls paired with black sesame ice cream, willow branch golden dew, orange liqueur frozen cake paired with orange flavored snow cream, vanilla cheese cake paired with mango snow cream, snow mei niang, longan milk jelly, and so on.

There are more dishes on the 2019 autumn customized menu of Master Cheng: 10-year Huadiao Zuihu Crab with figs, eggplant with sturgeon seed sauce, rose sauce flavored halibut, mustard flavor lettuce low-temperature scallop, steamed Yangcheng Lake hairy crab, signature crab brewed orange, crab meal braised East China Sea shrimp, a pot of fresh food in autumn (wild mandarin fish, bacon, hairy crabs, Kansai ginseng, bamboo fungus, vegetable gall, pigeon eggs, frozen tofu), crab meal braised with vermicelli, golden ear nourishing West Lake wild duck soup, Tieguoshan yam braised sea cucumber, East China Sea white pomfret, Mapo tofu braised Australian lobster, salt Baked swimming crab, steamed plum fish with Ningbo snow cabbage, fried asparagus with crab feet, Dongpo dried rice noodle, crab roe Lo mein, crab roe and crab meat Shaomai, kidney bean and bird's nest cake, white truffle lobster meat braised rice, just looking at these names, can trigger my infinite imagination about food.

In order to better match the cuisine, Hubin 28 also has a walk-in fully transparent wine cellar with over 2000 bottles of wine, where guests can go in and personally choose the wine.

Of course, such a well-known Chinese restaurant is not perfect either. Due to its high popularity all year round, Hubin 28 has not been upgraded or renovated yet. We hope that after the renovation, the ambient lighting of the restaurant will be brighter, making it more convenient for us food enthusiasts to take photos, vlogs, and share on social media such as Moments, so that more people can learn about Hubin 28 Chinese restaurant. In addition, if you haven't checked into the hotel and booked a seat in advance, it's really difficult to book a seat temporarily for Hubin 28.

The satisfaction provided by the 28 Chinese restaurants in Hubin is not only physical, but also inspires you to deeply understand the rich history and culture of Hangzhou.

After the Southern Song Dynasty established its capital in Lin'an, it built a nine mile imperial city and opened a ten mile sky street. Although time may be ruthless, the charm still lingers. The once "roots of the imperial city" are filled with a strong cultural atmosphere. The wooden structure of old houses and white walls preserved along the way are the link between Hangzhou, a modern city, and history. No matter how you approach the historical district of Qinghefang with your mindset, vision, and cultural heritage, you can feel the unique hustle and bustle of the "root of the imperial city".

Qinghefang has been a bustling area in Hangzhou since ancient times, located in the old urban area of Shangcheng District, with rich historical and cultural heritage. To the east of Xingong Bridge in Hefang Street is the ruins of the Deshou Palace, the sleeping palace of Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty. The residence of Zhang Jun, who was granted the title of Prince of Qinghe during the Southern Song Dynasty, was located in Taiping Lane, which was then known as the Imperial Street, so this area was also known as Qinghe Fang. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Qinghefang was a political and cultural center and a gathering place for merchants, with numerous shops, restaurants, and tea shops. Throughout the Yuan, Ming, Qing, and Republican periods, and until the early days of liberation, this area remained a bustling commercial area in Hangzhou. Hangzhou's century old shops, such as Wang Xingji, Zhang Xiaoquan, Wanlong Ham Shop, Hu Qingyu Hall, Fang Huichun Hall, Ye Zhongde Hall, Baohe Hall, Zhuangyuan Hall, Wang Runxing, Yiyuan Jindian, Jingyangguan, Yangtang Restaurant, etc., are all concentrated in this area.

The Chinese medicine brand "Hu Qingyu Hall" founded by Hu Xueyan, a "Red Top Merchant" in the late Qing Dynasty in 1874 (the 13th year of the Qing Dynasty's Tongzhi reign), is currently the best preserved group of late Qing industrial and commercial buildings in China, and is a model of Huizhou architectural style. The entire architectural design resembles a crane, residing at the foot of Mount Wu, symbolizing longevity. The magnificent architecture, magnificent halls, exquisite carving, and unique business layout still exist today.

Fang Qingyi, a person from Qiantang who came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, founded the Chinese medicine brand "Fang Huichun Tang" in 1649 (the sixth year of the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty), which is one of the oldest Chinese medicine museums in China. The Fang Huichun Hall covers an area of 2500 square meters and is mainly composed of three parts: the Chinese Medicine Hall, the Chinese Medicine Hall, and the ginseng number. The overall layout is typical of the traditional characteristics of the Ming and Qing dynasties in Jiangnan. For over three hundred years, the people of Fang Huichun Hall have been hanging pots to benefit the people of Hangzhou to this day.

Fenghuang Temple, also known as "Zhenjiao Temple", is one of the four ancient Islamic temples in the coastal areas of China (the other three being Xianhe Temple in Yangzhou, Qingjing Temple in Quanzhou, and Huaisheng Temple in Guangzhou). Fenghuang Temple is named because its architectural structure resembles a phoenix spreading its wings. There is no beam frame in the main hall of the temple. One of the three spires rising from the top of the hall is a relic of the Song Dynasty, engraved with Koran scriptures. It is said that it was carved when it was rebuilt in 1451 (the second year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty). There are also Arabic inscriptions in the temple, such as the Persian Aladdin tombstone donated by the Yuan Dynasty to rebuild the Phoenix Temple, which records the history of friendly exchanges between Hangzhou and Arab countries since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

The Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Street Exhibition Hall was established on the original site of the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasty street ruins. The exhibition is open and covered with transparent tempered glass, through which people can see the appearance of Zhongshan Road in various eras.

The current Qinghefang Historical Block is mainly divided into three areas: the Hefang Historical Site Area, the Wushan Leisure Area, and the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Block. However, these blocks are more of various internet celebrity shops and hotels and homestays in form than content. It is too difficult to explore the old Lin'an story through traditional snacks, antique calligraphy and painting, and historical relics.

If given another day of stay, I will definitely experience the Qingshi Restaurant and the Grand Hyatt Steakhouse.

Patio, a restaurant with indoor and outdoor gardens, offers classic pasta and traditional Napoli pizza. It is said that Vincenzo Carbon, the executive chef of the Grand Hyatt, comes from Naples, Italy. I also want to enjoy the sunshine here, appreciate the beautiful scenery of West Lake, gather with family and friends, or have a drink alone, while reminiscing about the semi-circular small bay on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea, which was not dry with the gentle breeze at night.

The Grand Hyatt Steakhouse is the pride of the hotel.

The Pira oven from Spain, the first in China that the Grand Hyatt Hotel is proud of, can easily set the temperature to 352 ℃, allowing people to imagine the pleasant aroma brought by the Maillard reaction (non enzymatic browning reaction). The top grill of Pira can be adjusted according to the thickness and amount of steak, as well as the degree of unripeness required by customers, while the bottom grill is made of genuine dry wood and fire. The thing baked from natural charcoal imported from Southeast Asia, of course, comes with its own aroma.

After inspecting the United States, New Zealand, Japan, and various niche beef producing areas, the Grand Hyatt Steakhouse chose the very mainstream Australian beef. The menu includes black Angus beef raised on Rangers Valley Ranch in New South Wales, Australian national treasure grade valley fed M9 snowflake and cattle, black agate Angus beef that has grown naturally for over 270 days, 21 day dry cooked Tomahawk M3+beef... as well as Oscietra caviar, Alaska wild scallops, and Alaska black cod. According to the steakhouse chef, all these beef will be used up by the restaurant within a week after being transported from Australia to ensure its freshness.

Beef has the advantages of rich and mellow flavor, tender texture, and ample portions. In terms of ingredients, besides pepper and salt, there are also chef made honey mustard, truffle mustard, French mustard, and basil sauce. Any taste preferences can be satisfied here.

After being sour, beef becomes more fresh and tender. After being roasted at high temperature, it has a rich and slightly charred appearance, and a soft and juicy inside. Take a light taste, and the fat and aroma will be overflowing. You will know that the time and money spent are worth it.

This kind of beef needs to be separated using the Laguiole knife handmade by French craftsmen, not to mention its temperament, which is a basic respect for the ingredients.

The magnificent space of the steak house, with its dark wood paneling and carved antique glass design, as well as various old items collected by hotel owners, has long made it another popular check-in restaurant in Hangzhou.

Of course, you may miss out on the gold medal braised pork or green shii pasta at Lakeside 28, but when the first ray of morning sunlight hits the guest room, you must struggle to get up and enjoy the hotel's buffet breakfast at a coffee shop on the first floor. Perhaps the dishes here are not rich enough, but the variety is already complete enough. Whether it's the Chinese style memories on the streets and alleys, or the dazzling selection of Western styles, they can add a lot of energy to your new day. A bowl of Erchuan or a portion of Juniper with scallions and bean curd jelly served with sauce is enough to wake up my whole morning.

Conclusion:

If you don't mind my shoulders being empty, I can take you to see the distance,

Before the story, people never realized that time wanted to destroy everything,

The yesterday you miss and the today you love have all turned into a pile of photos,

Some people are nostalgic, while others are forgetting memories and gradually blurring the picture,

On the day I met you, it bloomed and instantly became distant,

No one saw you shedding tears by my side,

I really want to comfort your embrace and let you hide,

I feel a bit flustered when the cold wind blows by at night,

If you don't mind, I'm a bit rough and boring, but very reliable.
