Xiamen, a coastal city full of small and fresh things, has rapidly become an Internet celebrity tourist city in China in recent years. As a result, many Internet celebrity hotels and Internet celebrity B & Bs have also been born. However, among these Internet celebrity hotels, no one may have the qualifications to match it. The Marco Polo Oriental Hotel has been open to the public since 1996 and is almost as old as me.

After three years, I came to Xiamen again. Because Gulangyu's pier for tourists had been relocated, in order to make it easier to visit Gulangyu, I chose this hotel near Xiagu Pier. It is also the oldest five-star hotel in Xiamen. The Marco Polo Oriental Hotel is very convenient to get to Gulangyu from here.

As soon as I entered the hotel, I could feel the very natural light from the interior. When I looked up, I found that the hotel lobby was 25 meters high and the sky was completely transparent. This was the first time I had seen the ceiling of the hotel designed in this way., the warm sunshine projected in through the glass and felt warm.

Speaking of the origin of the name of Marco Polo Oriental Hotel in Xiamen, we have to mention Marco Polo, the famous explorer. There is a stone carving on the lobby of the hotel,"Marco Polo's Journey to China", which depicts the famous explorer and global traveler Marco Polo's exploration journey in China, the richest country in the East. The Marco Polo Oriental Hotel also adheres to this spirit of adventure and creates a unique accommodation experience.

This time, I stayed in a luxurious suite facing the lake view. The room was huge, with three rooms in two rooms, an oversized living room and semi-open desk, an oversized cloakroom, and a bedroom. It feels very strenuous to move around.

The decoration and color matching of the entire room are mainly simple and atmospheric, which looks very comfortable. The warm yellow light adds a touch of warmth to the room. It's so pleasant to spend a vacation in a room like this.

What I like the most is this French window facing the beautiful view of the lake. Sometimes when I am tired of working in the room, I open the window screen, and a vast view of the lake is presented in front of me. Looking at this green and eye-catching scenery, I can't help but feel better.

The decoration of the bedroom is relatively simple, probably to abandon other redundant elements, just simply to rest and sleep. In fact, it's not bad to do so. It clearly separates the work, reception and rest areas to give yourself more leisure space. The bedding in the room is very comfortable, and the soft queen bed makes it comfortable to sleep on.

The built-in toilet is very large and is equipped with a large bathtub with bath salts next to it. There are two sinks for two people to wash at the same time.

During the BRICS Conference, the Brazilian President stayed in the Presidential Suite of the Marco Polo Hotel. I had the honor to visit it. It was really a very luxurious model for the President. The interior of the room demonstrated a low-key luxury.

After resting in the room for a long time, the hotel also has many recreational facilities, allowing me to spend my vacation life to the fullest, or go swimming in the evening by the open-air swimming pool and watch the sunset. This is also a rare high-altitude outdoor swimming pool in Xiamen hotels, with beautiful scenery on the side. Lake view.

There is a billiard room and a gym in the hotel. It is also a very good choice to go out of the room to exercise during your vacation.

In addition to activities that adults can play, the hotel has also added a children's playground for children. If families and parents come for vacation and leave their children here with peace of mind, parents can do their own things and will not just bring the children with them.

If you are a business person or a corporate outing, the hotel also has several meeting rooms for multiple people to hold meetings.

gourmets '

In hotels, in addition to rest, the most important thing is to eat. If you are a foodie, you will definitely fall in love with Marco Polo's food. The first thing is the ultra-beautiful Internet celebrity afternoon tea, which is a favorite among girls.

Internet celebrity afternoon tea uses cosmetics as the element. All the tableware for containing desserts are specially disinfected in the makeup box. Each brightly colored desserts are placed on it, which makes it pleasing to the eye just to look at.

The English three-tray afternoon tea has desserts, salty spots and fruits. The favorite one is Napoleon on the top floor. This is also Marco Polo's star dessert. The shortbread and cream are very dense. It is said that many Xiamen locals also made a special trip to the hotel to buy this Napoleon.

Guess what the original body of this lipstick is? It's rich white chocolate, which can really turn lipstick out little by little.

There are also various color eye shadows and blush, decorated with chocolates and Macron. Who doesn't like such a plate of Internet celebrity afternoon tea with high looks?

The executive lounge located on the VIP floor on the 8th floor of the hotel has a happy hour every day from 17:30 to 20:00 p.m.. There are a variety of desserts, snacks, drinks, cocktails... exclusively for VIPs and enjoy their own tranquility.

Marco Polo's gourmet feast goes far beyond that. The hotel's four restaurants turn eating into an art. Each restaurant brings us Chinese and Western cuisines, including Lotus Garden for Chinese cuisine, General for Japanese cuisine, Marco Polo Café for international cuisine buffet, and the lobby lounge serves wines, spirits and famous cocktails from various countries. I like Japanese food best, so I first choose Junjun Japanese Restaurant.

General Japanese Food Restaurant mainly serves Japanese cuisine and teppanyaki. The chefs here have decades of experience. The most classic teppanyaki cuisine is not only a collection of delicious food, but also a visual feast. The chef's process of making teppanyaki is like a performance. Watching the chef make teppanyaki is like watching a show, which cures my problem of watching my mobile phone while eating. Eating and watching is simply a great enjoyment in life.

Today's specially customized menu makes me drool just by looking at the names of the dishes.

Every dish is like a work of art. The ingredients are visible to the naked eye, and careful cooking can always make people feel full of happiness ~

The sashimi is very fresh, and every bite is full of happiness.

Although it is garlic scallops, it does not have a very strong garlic flavor, and the flavor of the ingredients itself is vividly exerted.

Australian M9 beef is equivalent to Japanese A5 beef. Every bite is delicious and I can't bear to finish it so quickly.

Stickplate fried rice is also an art. I haven't eaten rice for a long time, and for the first time, I feel that fried rice can be so delicious.

In the morning, enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast at the Marco Polo Café. Although it is breakfast, the variety is also very rich, covering dishes from various countries.

The Chinese restaurant has a very Jiangnan feel. It was formerly a teahouse and was ancient and gave people a simple atmosphere.

The special menu can be seen as a combination of Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine.

Shrimp Dumpling King's shrimps are very large, which is quite rare in Cantonese snacks. Each shrimp is very Q-bombs.

This beef grain is the most popular dish in the restaurant because the restaurant changes dishes every season, but this beef grain has always been preserved.

Spicy boiled fish, although located in Xiamen, really has a Sichuan flavor.

The taste of poplar branch nectar is very pure, and it suddenly brought me to Guangdong.

Even a simple cold dish dried radish, the chefs carefully carve and set the plate, and the cooking is like a painting.

There is an international restaurant on the first floor of the hotel, where you can taste cuisines from all over the world, such as Italian Home, Starbucks, Sip, Thai Legend and other cuisines. Make an appointment with three to five friends to experience different food enjoyment here.

Marco Polo Life Circle

The hotel is adjacent to the Guanren International Community, so there are many foreigners coming and going here. Bars Street and Coffee Street are naturally born where there are foreigners. This area has also become the most petty and literary area in Xiamen.

It is still very quiet during the day, but it becomes lively at night. Many local young people in Xiamen will drive here specially, either for a petty coffee or for parties and friends.

The Coffee Street located on Xiamen's Yucai Road is a "happy gathering place" for petty bourgeoisie in Xiamen. A row of villas have all been converted into coffee shops and western restaurants. From this name, this street has surpassed the cafe itself and formed a unique coffee cultural atmosphere, such as ancient cypresses, old villas, etc., are quite distinctive, with bright lights at night and full of magical and unique appeal.

Many foreigners can also be found here. It is like a city that never sleeps, with a completely different Xiamen flavor from Zhongshan Road and Zengcuo 'an. Three or five friends or couples can meet and talk to each other for a romantic night. This is one of the most petty and casual places in Xiamen.

The coffee street after night has a magical appeal.

Adjacent to the Coffee Street is the Bar Street. This is not like the Bar Street in Yangshuo and Xitang. The Bar Street next to Marco Polo is full of clean bars, and everyone is quietly drinking and chatting.

Walking on the bar street, the surrounding environment is surprisingly quiet, very petty and romantic.

The lights on the entire street are very blurred, and occasionally lazy blues music will come from the store. At night, it will be even more blurred by the decoration here.

Egrets fly together by the lake

If you can get up early, you can also watch the daily high tide at the water gate of the Lake Lake next to the hotel. Every morning, a flock of egrets gathers here, waiting for the fish to surge with the high tide.

Every morning before 6 o'clock here, a group of old mages gather with long guns and short cannons to capture the moment of egrets fishing. Looking at these old mages, then looking at the camera in their hands, alas... I can't compete. I can't compete.

Gulangyu, the place where Internet celebrities check in-

The hotel is only a 5-minute drive from Xiagu Wharf to Gulangyu Island. It is very close. It takes 20 minutes by ferry to reach Gulangyu Island. This is my second time to visit Gulangyu Island.

Gulangyu Island is Xiamen's most popular attraction and is known as the "Garden on the Sea". The island has a pleasant climate. The seasons are like spring all year round. There is no noise of horses and horses. The singing of birds and flowers is everywhere, like a bright "pearl on the sea", inlaid in the Xiamen Bay. In the blue sea and green waves.

There are many attractions on Gulangyu Island, such as Riguang Rock, Shuzhuang Garden, Haoyue Garden, Ancient Summer Cave, Longtou Mountain Village, Organ Museum, Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall, Piano Museum, etc. However, the most popular among tourists are all kinds of delicacies.

In Gulangyu, just walking by the seaside is very pleasant. Get rid of the shadows and oppression in the city. There are beautiful blue skies and lush woods, embrace the sea and feel the refreshing air on Gulangyu.

Xiamen is a city with a slow pace and comfort. When I came to the Marco Polo Hotel, I spent a different kind of vacation in Xiamen, and I also spent a wonderful journey in this exotic hotel., my trip to Xiamen became more comfortable because of Marco Polo. Good night Xiamen, your diversity and tranquility make me reluctant to go to sleep on this night.
