In Hangzhou in November, autumn is strong, and the temperature is most suitable for going out and playing. If you can have a place where you can relax and have close contact with the ecology when you come to downtown Hangzhou, then Xixi Paradise can be said to be a good choice. Xixi Paradise is positioned as the Hangzhou International Tourism Complex, a world-class urban leisure and resort conference hotel community. This year coincides with the 10th anniversary of Xixi Paradise, and many interesting activities have been encountered on the site.

Ten years of struggle, passionate years. Xixi Paradise has been built for ten years, which has gathered the hard work and sweat of many builders. I watched the "Ten-Year Story Exhibition" and the topic film "A Moment in Ten Years" in Xixi Paradise, and listened to the leaders of Xixi Paradise sharing the ten-year journey. Over the past ten years, Xixi Paradise and Xixi National Wetland Park have gradually formed Hangzhou's new platform as an internationally renowned leisure and tourism city.

During the event, an immersive garden scene show with the theme of "Garden X Dreams, Jiangnan Dreams in the City" was held on the big stage of Xixi Paradise. There are Kunqu Opera, drama, dance, etc. Actors travel dynamically in Banyan Tree, Wetland Museum, Qiyue City and other places, and performing artists and audiences come into close contact to start a lively carnival.

What impressed me the most during the 10th anniversary of Xixi Paradise was the "Tour X Dream" event. In hotels, shopping malls and even bridges in Xixi Paradise, you can enjoy Kunqu opera, flash mob, live music performances and other programs, allowing tourists present to be included involuntarily. It feels so great to enjoy ancient Chinese operas in such a Xixi paradise full of Jiangnan style.

It is hard to believe that Xixi Paradise ten years ago was just a supporting parking lot in the Xixi Wetland Protection Project, and later evolved into a large-scale tourism public service center with hotels and parking lots. Through the feasibility analysis of international hotel consulting companies and the continuous evolution of the development team, the concept of a hotel cluster was constructively proposed, and it subsequently evolved into an international tourism complex with an international hotel cluster as the core and integrating China Wetland Museum, resort hotels, tourism public services and other facilities. Ten years later, Xixi Paradise has long become a good resort area for Hangzhou citizens and foreign tourists. It attracts many tourists here every year to visit the wetlands and enjoy the ecological environment.

In Xixi Paradise, there are five hotels with different styles, including Xixi Banyan Tree, Yuechuan, Xixuan, Brooke and Sheraton. Each hotel has its own characteristics and main features.

First, I came to the Sheraton Hangzhou Xixi Resort Hotel located in Hangzhou Xixi Paradise. It was perfectly integrated with the ecology of Xixi, and the green plants in the eyes made the vacation more relaxed. There are many room types in the hotel, but I chose the more economical room with a queen bed. The queen bed and a large bathtub, and I want to spend the weekend in the room.

When the curtains are pulled open, the crisscrossing lines on the balcony railing simulate the arrangement of rivers in the Xixi Wetland. The Sheraton Spa is a feature that allows the body to enjoy a top-down vacation at the hotel.

Walking into Hangzhou Xixi Banyan Tree is walking into the beautiful Jiangnan. There are several simple stone bridges on the quiet waters. Such a picture may only be found in Xixi.

There are some courtyards located in this picturesque hotel, which are the guest rooms of the hotel. When you open the door, you can feel the strong romantic atmosphere and vibrant natural environment. How fascinating it is to spend a vacation in such charming scenery.

There are many specialty restaurants distributed in Xixi Paradise, but I couldn't decide which one to eat while wandering around. I met an exquisite Hangbang restaurant by the river-Huafang Private Kitchen Restaurant. I haven't tasted Hangbang food yet when I came to Hangzhou.

At first glance, I was attracted by the fresh decoration. The restaurant located in Xixi Wetland has a small river in front of it. I specially chose to sit at an outdoor dining table and eat in a green environment. From time to time, I can hear some bird calls.

The owner is a foodie who loves good food. He opened this restaurant because he likes to eat. He is also in charge of many matters in the store in order to ensure the quality of every dish. With such careful control, the dishes must be great!

Securely cooked Macrobrachium drunkard shrimp should be my favorite among all dishes. I like to eat shrimp and have eaten shrimp cooked in different ways, but I just don't have the amazing feeling of secretly cooked Macrobrachium drunkard shrimp. Made with several different wines, the shrimp meat is full and fragrant with bursts of wine.

Wrapped with two heads of black in pancakes is a copy of the eating method of Peking duck to eat meat. Use dough to cover the meat with soy sauce, and then add vegetables to eat. The neither fat nor lean meat, coupled with the crispy taste of vegetables, makes eating two-headed black birds a very ceremonial thing.

Lake Crab Stinky Tofu is a dish created by the owner himself. It combines the delicious lake crabs from Jiangnan with stinky tofu. It has both the flavor of lake crabs and the stench of stinky tofu. The flavors of the two are perfectly integrated with each other.

To say which dish is the most popular on the table, it is ham and old duck stewed. When the hot end is served, it is rushed to serve by our friends. The duck soup is extremely delicious, and the condiments are also not at all.

After tasting the dishes here, I was surprised by the taste. According to the boss, the dishes here did not add MSG. They all used ham soup to freshen up the flavor. No wonder the taste was so good. After ordering a table full of dishes, everyone ate and walked against the wall. The average person only cost more than a hundred. I didn't expect the food here to be delicious and affordable.

If you know about the changes in Xixi Wetland, you should also be impressed with Hangzhou's ecological protection capabilities as I do. As one of the "Three West" of Hangzhou, Xixi Wetland is the second largest scenic spot in Hangzhou after the West Lake. Therefore, when you come to Hangzhou, in addition to visiting the Xizi Lake, you should also visit the Xixi Wetland. Since the Tang Dynasty, Xixi has been famous for appreciating plum, bamboo, reed and flowers. The total area here is about 60 square kilometers and has a history of more than 1000 years.

There are many intertwined rivers in the Xixi Wetland, and taking a Wupeng boat tour is a good way. Here, you can appreciate the calmness of "using a boat as a car and using a crane as a horse". Sitting in a small boat and shuttling through the lush greenery of Xixi River, the tension of daily work and life fades one by one, leaving only the beautiful mood to appreciate the flowers and trees here. Listen to the chirping of insects and birds in the wetland.

As described in the Book of Songs,"the reeds are green, and the white dew is frost." The so-called beauty, on the water side, may describe such a scene, with patches of reeds filling most corners of the wetland.

After visiting the Xixi Wetland, if you want to have a more in-depth understanding of it, you can visit the China Wetland Museum in Xixi. This is the first national-level professional museum with wetlands as the theme and integrates collection, research, display, education and entertainment. Through scene restoration, multimedia interaction and graphic display of typical wetlands, etc., the museum displays the beauty of wetlands, popularizes wetland knowledge, thereby enhancing the audience's awareness of wetland protection.

The architectural appearance of the museum is well integrated with the landscape of Xixi. There are four themed exhibition halls in the museum, including the Order Hall, the Wetlands and Humanity Hall, the China Hall, and the Xixi Hall. For a person who is interested in ecology and nature, I read them carefully one by one. The preface hall introduced the basic knowledge of wetlands and the world's classic wetlands, and looked at wetlands in other places in the world and the animals and people living there.

The Department of Wetlands and Human Resources mainly introduces the relationship between humans and wetlands, and displays some examples of wetland destruction and protection. However, we have more awareness of wetland protection. The China Wetland Hall is the most important and distinctive part of the Wetland Museum. It mainly introduces the types and characteristics of China's wetlands, important domestic wetlands and the achievements of my country's wetland protection work.

What attracts me most is the model of wetlands and the specimens of organisms, which let us know the fragility of wetlands and call on more people to protect those living in wetlands so as to better protect our own homes. Wetlands are very important to us, and we can see that Hangzhou has made great efforts to protect the Xixi Wetland, which has enabled us to have today's visit.

Spending a wonderful weekend in Xixi Paradise gave me more understanding and understanding of Xixi and wetlands. I am very envious of Hangzhou citizens for having such a complete weekend resort area, with hotels, wetlands, shopping malls, and easily accessible from the city.
