[Foreword]

Accompanied by waves of autumn wind blowing, Hangzhou's hot midsummer has finally passed. Even if it is a sunny afternoon, I don't feel hot. Autumn is my favorite season. The colorful scenery and the high sky and clear clouds are all the best time for a trip. Having lived in Hangzhou for a long time, I no longer thought about the hustle and bustle of the West Lake, which I had been to several times, and I had never visited Xianghu because of its long distance. This time, I took advantage of the early and autumn of September to start a different parent-child journey from the Royal Xianghu Resort Hotel.

DAY 1 Financial Town Feel the slow pace of life, Yuxiang Lake experience a different vacation enjoyment

The journey was beautiful, just like the magnificent sea of flowers in Xianghu that I expected, the sea of flowers in Xianghu was the first stop of our trip; the journey was also full of surprises. When we arrived at the sea of flowers in Xianghu, what was presented in front of us was not the sea of flowers we imagined, but instead were deserted fields with flowers that had been cleared.

Although such regrets occur from time to time during the journey, some losses are inevitable. Next to the sea of flowers, an emerging attraction has attracted many tourists to check in the past two years. This is the slow-living district of the financial town. The Slow Living District is located in Xianghu Financial Town, Xianghu National Tourism Resort, close to Shiyan Mountain. It is a supporting service project for Xianghu Resort in terms of culture, tourism, shopping and other aspects.

When I came to the financial town, I saw single-family buildings with white walls and black tiles. The buildings with unique Jiangnan flavor were either built on the mountains or lived on the water. Although it was called a financial town, what I felt was the extremely strong Jiangnan style. Walking through the bridge, you will come to the slow-living neighborhood. Because it is noon on weekdays, only bustling tourists visit and play here, and my wife, and Yun Bao are among them.

In fact, I want to use the word market to describe it more appropriately. There is a beautiful stall in front of every shop. On weekends, these stalls will sell a variety of unique products. In addition to these shops, there are countless places to take photos and check in. Yun Bao likes to stop in these interesting places and let us take photos for her. Take photos.

It seems that the pace of slow life has been difficult to feel since we came to this modern information-based city. This time, we took Yunbao and wanted to experience a different kind of slow-paced vacation life for the family, from playing to eating, drinking, and accommodation, all slow down our pace and enjoy the journey. After leaving the financial town, we drove to the hotel where we visited-Yuxiang Lake Resort Hotel.

Yuxiang Lake Resort Hotel is part of Yuxiang Lake International Health City, which is one of the reasons why I chose this hotel among the many hotels along Xianghu Lake. The hotel has a very good location. It is built adjacent to the Qiantang River and is located in the Xianghu National Tourist Resort. When I came to the hotel lobby, the bright and atmospheric lobby and the perfect integration of Chinese and Western styles made my eyes shine. There is a front desk on the left and right sides of the lobby. On the left side of the entrance is the hotel check-in front desk, and on the right side are the front desk service centers of other centers in the Health City.

Entering the lobby and continuing to walk inside, you will find the hotel lobby bar. The lobby bar has a very nice name-Luzhuquan. A Chinese-style mahogany screen separates the lobby from the lobby bar. On the other side of the lobby bar is a huge floor-to-ceiling window with the entire wall. Outside the window is the beautiful Health City Park. There is also a landscape between the lobby bar and the lobby. Fish pond, in which a few goldfish swim comfortably. Yun Bao will lie next to him and watch their swimming tails every time he passes by here.

When we came to the front desk to check in, the waiter was very considerate and meticulous. They also showed us the high quality of the service here and checked in quickly and efficiently. Seeing that we had a lot of luggage with our baby, the waiter affectionately helped us carry our luggage and guided us to the room. Our room is located in Building No. 8, so we need to pass through the lobbies of other buildings. We usually marvel at the size of this place while walking, but Yunbao is full of curiosity about so much fresh food.

When we arrived at the room, the waiter told us that they would upgrade us to a parent-child room for free. There are two types of parent-child rooms for boys and girls. We were given a lovely parent-child room for girls. How can people not like this kind of service? The style of the room is also the same as the lobby. The Chinese decoration style, the combination of fabrics and mahogany furniture makes the whole room look very elegant and comfortable.

The most surprising thing in the entire room was this children's room. Yun Bao has followed us to many places and stayed in many hotels. I have rarely seen her so excited and running around the entire room. Although the area of the children's room is not large, it is quite large for Yun Bao. There is a children's bed with pink Hello Kitty pillows placed on the bed, and there is a bright yellow tent next to the bed. There is a deer in the tent, and the wall is also covered with Hello Kitty photo frames. The girlish decoration makes even his wife feel good.

I have stayed in many hotels and have my own unique requirements for high-quality hotels. Sanitary products are the criterion that I think best reflects the quality of a hotel. The sanitary products in the room are Kohler, which is of excellent quality. In addition to the elements of the parent-child room, the hotel also carefully prepares many baby products, such as disposable slippers and toiletries for the baby, as well as hand stools and toilet stools that the baby needs.

As a high-end resort hotel, Yuxiang Lake Resort Hotel has very complete facilities. It is on the first floor of Building No. 8 where we live. The gym and yoga studio are located on this floor. The beautiful Chinese-style corridor makes it hard for me to imagine being the location of a gym. Treadmills, spinning bicycles... all kinds of fitness equipment are also available, and are open 24 hours a day.

I still remember how energetic I used to be in college, but now as my parents get older and I become a father, I feel the importance of health. This is why I chose this hotel, because it can not only enjoy a vacation, but also manage my health. Under the guidance of the waiter, I walked into the health center of Health City, which is located on the first floor of Building No. 8.

Traditional Chinese medicine protects the foundation, and the health center is mainly based on traditional Chinese medicine. During the visit, the staff introduced that the health center has many well-known traditional Chinese medicine masters inside and outside the province sitting here, and the traditional Chinese medicine health treatments here are also rich and diverse, such as the relatively common moxibustion, acupuncture, etc.

The health center also has two major characteristics. One is the very rare jade energy room, and the other is urn therapy. As the name suggests, the jade energy room is paved with jade. Jade can support people. The jade in the whole room is very helpful for cultivation. Later, I personally experienced moxibustion for an hour. A professional Chinese medicine doctor often felt sore and swollen due to being facing the computer for a long time. After the moxibustion, the entire shoulder and neck relaxed. The effect was very obvious, which also gave me a different understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. Opinion.

In addition to the health center, the Health City also has professional beauty centers, and the doctors in the beauty centers here are all qualified, so it is very reassuring to come here for beauty treatment.

The Health Management Center is another area of the Health City. The Health Management Center is mainly responsible for monitoring, evaluating, and formulating management plans. There are not only domestic big-name experts, but also international high-end equipment and instruments. The American LIFE Bioenergy Intelligent Detection and Repair System is currently the most advanced high-end quantum technology device in the world. It can detect more than 7000 indicators in the human body in 20 minutes. This is also the project I came here to make an appointment. It takes 20 minutes to take a nap. A thick inspection report was given to me. I looked at each indicator and felt a little confused. Fortunately, there were professional experts who helped me interpret the report one-on-one.

Afternoons in autumn are always so beautiful. I and my wife Yun Bao came to the tea restaurant located on the first floor of the hotel. The restaurant also continued the design style of combining Chinese and Western in the lobby, but there are differences. Chinese hard clothing is matched with Western soft clothing, giving people visual enjoyment. Choose a seat we like and quietly look forward to the arrival of delicious food.

How can I miss afternoon tea for a comfortable afternoon vacation? When the waiter served afternoon refreshments, I was once again surprised. A plate designed with a Chinese antique dressing box was placed with a variety of desserts on it. Mature Spanish ham and a variety of fruit plates.

As a little foodie, Yun Bao's hands began to move uncontrollably when she saw so many dazzling delicacies. She wanted to take this one and that one. She was very satisfied with the desserts she tasted after blinking her eyes. This is the case for a slow-paced journey. You don't have to go to a scenic spot. An exquisite and delicious afternoon tea is also a good journey experience.

A two-day vacation to Yuxiang Lake can always bring different surprises to Yunbao. After enjoying the delicious afternoon tea, we went for a walk in the public areas of the hotel and accidentally discovered this place that made Yunbao very excited-the children's playground.

Although there was also a small children's playground at home, it had never made her so happy. When she saw the play facilities in front of her, she laughed excitedly. The children's playground is a converted room and is adjacent to the hotel's Western restaurant. Inside the park is a big ocean of bubble balls and a multi-functional slide. The design in the park is also very careful, with leather benches placed around the wall to prevent the baby from falling and hitting the wall.

For dinner, we went to Xiyixuan on the second floor of the hotel. This restaurant is also open to the public. Although it is not yet time for meal, there are already many people coming to the restaurant to eat at this time. According to the waiter, the restaurant's private rooms for lunch and dinner are filled almost every day. The public dining is divided into indoor and outdoor areas. The outdoor area is a bit interesting. You can directly see the hotel lobby on the first floor here.

The environment of the restaurant is as elegant as its name. Our dishes are arranged by the hotel, and the restaurant's main dishes are new Hangbang dishes. Except for some old Hangzhou people, ordinary people don't particularly like Hangbang dishes. The same is true for me, but the new Hangbang dishes in the restaurant are even more attractive.

Plates of seemingly tempting dishes were served. The waiter introduced that because the hotel was positioned as a health vacation, the restaurant's dishes were all considered for health preservation. Green bean, shrimp and millet porridge, cowpea and beef tenderloin, steamed mandarin fish, fruit and vegetable juice... Each dish is balanced in nutrition, and most of the dishes are light and very suitable for babies, especially freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, which Yun Bao likes very much.

DAY 2 Wake up one morning in September and ride a bicycle to experience the charm of Xianghu Lake

When we met a favorite hotel, Yun Bao went to bed early and got up early. We had not had a good sleep for a long time and woke up early this September morning. The hotel's breakfast is located in the Western restaurant. We walked through a Chinese screen and entered the restaurant. Seeing us with the baby, the waiter led us to a seat near the window where the air conditioner could not be blown out.

The hotel's breakfast is in the form of a buffet, and the variety of breakfast is also very rich. From Chinese breakfast to Western salads, what surprised me is that the hotel actually has matsutake. Matsutake is the most delicious ingredient this season. It is also relatively expensive. It is also a rare experience to taste matsutake for breakfast.

Since Yunbao was born, it has been a long time since I had exercise, and one of the best ways to keep healthy is exercise. Therefore, the hotel provides free bicycle rental to in-house guests. They only need to come to the hotel front desk to provide a room card and apply for rental procedures. A sealable bag is carefully prepared on the front handle of each bicycle, where you can put mobile phones, wallets and other items in it.

In addition, there is also a route map from the hotel to some surrounding attractions, the distance and the approximate time required for riding. These measures are very considerate. We also rented two bicycles and prepared to enjoy a ride in the Xianghu National Resort.

Looking at the huge and beautiful Health City Park, we also pushed bicycles to stroll around the park. Yunbao was full of endless interest and curiosity about the flowers, plants and trees in the park. This was the innocence of children.

The persistence in my heart, waiting calmly. I look forward to a happy existence. Thousands of misses and thousands of turns back are just looking for a warm home for my heart...

The two-day health-care parent-child trip to Yuxiang Lake came to an end in a hurry. After experiencing the pleasing scenery of Xianghu Lake, experiencing the comfortable and pleasant parent-child guest rooms, and tasting the delicious food, I am looking forward to coming back here next time.
