In early May summer, the scenery of Yangcheng Lake

In May, summer has arrived. In order to stay away from the hustle and bustle and find a good place to go for a weekend trip, I thought of Yangcheng Lake, which is not far from Nanjing. Although it is not the golden autumn season, with the temptation of hairy crabs, Yangcheng Lake in early summer is also a delightful and beautiful scenery.

Yangcheng Lake is located in the northeast of Suzhou city and is one of the important freshwater lakes in Jiangsu Province. As its name suggests, Yangcheng Lake is caressed by the sunshine, and the surface of the lake is as emerald green as jade, resembling a journey to a fairyland.

Under the nourishment and infiltration of water, Ba Cheng is like a beautiful painting, emitting a brilliant radiance. Here flows the charm of Jiangnan, precipitates the tranquility of time, and of course, enjoys the infinite gifts of nature.

It takes over two hours of self driving from Nanjing to reach the banks of Yangcheng Lake. You have chosen the Fairmont Hotel, which boasts excellent local scenery, for a brief and relaxing journey, providing a rare sense of tranquility and purity.

In today's fast-paced lifestyle, the Fairmont Hotel in Yangcheng Lake provides a unique vacation mode that blends environment, nature, and culture, perfectly satisfying people's pursuit of returning to simplicity.

The hotel is located in the fresh and beautiful Yangcheng Lake Ecological Park, with abundant vegetation and shade of green trees, making it a scenic spot upon walking. The beautiful natural scenery and carefully crafted landscapes are harmonious and pleasing to the eye, creating a comfortable and relaxing vacation space.

Entering the hotel lobby, the waiter quickly and warmly checked us in and asked the concierge to deliver our luggage to the room first. During special periods, in order to ensure the safety of guests during check-in, relevant personnel will measure our temperature and show us the Su Kang code.

The hotel was designed by KKS architecture firm in Japan, with a typical Asian style, elegant and modern, and a unique woodcarving style of Jiangnan water town permeated between the two color schemes of depth and light.

We are staying in a double bed room on the Jinzun floor, which has the warmth of a home. Bedding products are from the world's top brand SEALY, making customers feel even more comfortable. In addition, the room also comes with a private balcony, which offers a magnificent view of Yangcheng Lake.

Welcome fruits and welcome Dim sum have already been prepared. Since the moment we registered at the front desk, the intelligent system has adjusted the air conditioning and lights in the guest room to the best state. It has to be mentioned that Fairmont's spare parts are the LE LABO ROSE 31 exclusively customized by the New York perfume brand, which is super comfortable to use.

The Jinzun Fairmont floor is like a "home in the store", with dedicated service managers to provide us with thoughtful and considerate service. We can enjoy the personalized services and facilities of Jinzun Lounge, including free breakfast, afternoon tea and evening Dim sum.

When life is busy and anxious, why not put in so much effort for now? Find an afternoon to stop here for a while and experience a different poetic life.

Sitting in the Jin Zun lounge, one's emotions are in control of time. Drinking a cup of coffee can be ten minutes or an afternoon, and time becomes slow and long.

Only food cannot be let down negative

1. Jingcheng Western Restaurant

Fairmont not only has a great living environment, but even the delicious food is highly praised. Jingcheng Western Restaurant gathers a variety of international cuisines, where you can enjoy a rich Chinese and Western buffet for breakfast and authentic Western cuisine in the evening.

The hotel's exclusive Yuefeng Island Organic Farm provides fresh and healthy seasonal organic ingredients for Jingcheng Western Restaurant year-round, not only delicious but also quite healthy. That night, the vegetable salad we had was organic vegetables from the farm.

Western cuisine is a dish that is completely different from Chinese cuisine, but is loved by many fashionable urbanites. My companions and I ordered chicken legs and fish for our main meals, which not only had a beautiful appearance, but also had a delicious taste and rich nutrition.

2. Chinese cuisine at Yifeng Pavilion

It's okay if you're not used to Western cuisine, as the hotel also has a dedicated Chinese restaurant - Yifeng Pavilion. Walking into the Yifeng Pavilion, which is rich in Eastern charm, what catches the eye is the ancient and fragrant Chinese style, with a bright red main color tone, noble and elegant.

The Hong Kong style roast duck, which is popular on the internet, will be showcased by chefs on the spot for their knife cutting skills. Only by slicing the duck very thinly can it taste even more delicious. One duck can be eaten twice, and the duck rack can also be used to make soup.

We came coincidentally, and this season is the perfect time to eat crayfish. The taste of crayfish in the Chinese restaurant of the hotel is quite good. It is soaked in yellow wine and made one day in advance. If the soaking time is short, it will not taste good, but if it is long, the taste will be light, and this time is just right.

Appreciating the beautiful scenery of Yangcheng Lake while savoring the authentic delicacies of Yifeng Pavilion is truly a wonderful experience. Nowadays, there are many dishes in the Chinese restaurant of the hotel that are being promoted, and the prices are also quite affordable.

I am someone who likes to eat desserts, so I love Xue Meiniang and blueberry yam the most. Xue Meiniang's plate is quite exquisite, taking a bite is sweet but not greasy, and there is also mango meat inside, which is super satisfying.

Yangcheng Lake boasts beautiful natural scenery and abundant negative oxygen ions in the air, making it a truly natural oxygen bar. Walking here, with every breath, one can feel a sense of relaxation and joy, which is a rural life that cannot be provided by the city of steel and cement.

The hotel has a dedicated shuttle bus that takes us to the lakeside. Not only can we take a walk and enjoy the scenery, but there are also many different experiential activities. On weekends, staying here for two days is definitely not boring. If it's a parent-child family, coming here is the right place to choose.

1. Canoe

The weather was particularly good, and when we arrived at the lake, we experienced kayaking. This is a test of speed and endurance. Regular participation in kayaking can not only promote the regulation of cardiovascular function, increase lung capacity, but also enhance overall muscle strength and endurance. It is a good exercise for fitness.

With the help of hotel staff, my best friend and I put on life jackets, put on paddles, and successfully boarded the kayak. Afraid of being exposed to the sun, the little brother kindly gave each of us a straw hat to shade us.

Boating on the lake, I truly felt the endless charm of Yangcheng Lake. The blue of the lake merged with the blue sky, and my heart was cleansed as clear as the blue and green mountains and waters. All my worries were thrown away in the blink of an eye.

2. Ceramics

Of course, in addition to kayaking, the hotel also prepares a pottery experience for parent-child families. This is a hands-on project that both adults and children can participate in, and there will be dedicated staff to guide the professor. Even beginners don't have to worry.

I am also making pottery for the first time and have found that with patience, I can quickly grasp the essentials. Of course, you can also burn your own ceramic works and bring them back, which will be a good travel souvenir.

3. Lipstick and soap making

The hotel's spa brand, Weiliuxi, not only allows you to enjoy a luxurious spa, but also allows you to learn how to make lipstick and soap by yourself here. This experience is not only loved by children, but also not rejected by girls at all.

The teaching staff are kind and approachable, and the experience process is a bit like the chemistry experiment we learned in school, which requires the use of measuring cups, alcohol lamps, and so on. How to choose the color of lipstick, how many materials to put in, and how to test the color, the employees will teach step by step, and they are very patient.

The entire production process is not complicated, and lipstick and soap can be done simultaneously. After the lipstick is ready, you can choose your favorite case for demolding. I chose Xianhe, which is a perfect match for my phone case and I really like it. And this is a lipstick that can be used or made by oneself, which is very fulfilling.

4. Bee Farm

Yuefeng Island Organic Farm is located in the hotel's exclusive park, covering an area of 200 acres. It grows over 50 kinds of seasonal vegetables and fruits, and also raises over 20000 small bees. Guests can have zero distance contact with these bees.

Ping Jie is a beekeeper at the bee farm. She asked us to wear special masks and followed her into the homes of the little bees. She is a person who loves bees very much and has told us a lot of knowledge that she didn't know before. She suddenly felt that the creatures in nature are so magical.

The honey here is not only available in hotels, but also served in hotel restaurants, making it pure natural organic honey. Sister Ping gave me a piece of honey, which fills my mouth with fragrance and is sweet but not greasy. It is also very nutritious.

The sun is about to set, on the banks of Yangcheng Lake with countless waves, this world far away from dust, watching the charming sunset slowly disappear on the lake surface, a feeling like a paradise in the world. I am intoxicated by this beautiful scenery, wanting to sing loudly, but afraid of damaging the atmosphere. May, which was originally a normal weekend, has become particularly beautiful because of it.
