All online @ Bloomberg Ya Ya Travel to the World and Ya Travel Notes
2020 feels like an extremely long winter due to the epidemic. Travel bloggers who have been popular around the world in previous years have basically stayed at home and become moldy this year. They began to miss their last trip to Xiamen at the end of 2019. At the Lohkah Qishang Hotel, the most beautiful and luxurious hotel in Xiamen, you can lie here and watch the sea, watch the sunset and sunset, and overlook the beautiful scenery of the harbor on a poolside sun chair, and enjoy your lazy time. Even as a hotel test sleeper who has stayed in countless five-star hotels, I still miss it when I think back.

The world's top design company creates Xiamen's fashionable and secluded urban oasis
The hotel is located in Wuyuan Bay, a new location in Xiamen. It does not have the hustle and bustle of Gulangyu Island, and it does not take the fresh and artistic route that young people like. It is surrounded by the sea in the west and surrounded by low stone walls and forests. It is high-end elegance and "fashionable" and "secluded" are his style.
Only then will Henghe Qishang, a high-end residential project of "Asia's Top Ten Super Luxury Luxury Houses" and Xiamen's top luxury building-be located here.
As if to satisfy my impatience, I took a taxi from the airport and arrived at the hotel in less than 15 minutes.
If there is also a saying that hotels and people are in harmony, then when I walked through a bamboo forest and reached the entrance of the hotel, I felt like I was in love with the first time I saw the Lohkah Qishang Hotel.
It is small in size and has no towering buildings. The main building and interior design were created by the LAYAN team. There is also Intaran Design Landscape Design in Bali. It gathers the world's top design companies and joins forces to return to basics with low height, low density, and design simplicity. The architecture interprets contemporary new luxury, and a feeling of "staying away from the hustle and bustle of the city and having a pure land alone" comes to your face.
Standing at the entrance of the simple and elegant building is a lychee tree that symbolizes beauty and prosperity in the hearts of southern Fujian people. There are also unique scenery hidden inside the door, and another towering tree echoes inside and outside. The two leaves are graceful in shape, like bgm with Chinese elegance, complementing the hotel's design.
This is a small atrium connecting the hotel lobby, restaurant and guest rooms. Integrating the interior with nature, it seems to separate a quiet oasis alone. It has a sense of tranquility with Chinese Zen, and a peaceful vacation model has also begun.
The hotel's design concept draws inspiration from water, light, and shadow (this is what the baggage attendant told me when walking through the hotel. It's amazing that I have such deep training in ordinary service) integrates Fujian's unique quality stone materials and integrates Xiamen culture into contemporary art. There are also details one by one.
For example, the lobby is made of Fujian traditional stone and wood craftsmanship integrating contemporary fashion elements, and the overall style is elegant and full of charm. The symmetrical layout and classic proportions of the lobby bar and wood with different shades of color distinguish the spatial layers. There is a group of suspended "meteorites" in the middle. Light at different times will be refracted on it, and there will be different shadows and shadows, embellishing the entire space flexibly.
The painting in the lobby is "Twenty Variations" by the famous artist Lu Fusheng. It is a series of works with the theme of twenty characters. The paintings use exaggerated techniques and have a "Zen" artistic conception. In addition, many of the furniture in the lobby are Hermes 'only favorite Chinese brand-Shangxia, which can be seen that the hotel really knows too much about high-end.
Chinese elements are reflected everywhere in the hotel's extensive use of wooden materials, southern Fujian rust stone and clay bricks, as well as unique small decorations that can be seen everywhere.
What is worth mentioning is the integration of nature and fashion here. 40% of the hotel's building area is covered by green plants. The unique architectural design and aesthetic style incorporate the natural elements of emerald gardens and charming ocean, reflecting Lohkah's fashionable and secluded view of the city.
There is also an outdoor swimming pool hidden in a tropical garden. Overlooking the beautiful scenery of the harbor on the poolside sun chair, sniffing the natural flowers and enjoying the lazy time. The sea breeze is coming slowly, the shadows of the trees are dancing, and the good times are slowly precipitation. The world and the universe, latitude and interface, light and shadow, art and design. Just like this, I slowly immersed myself in the quiet minimalist aesthetic world of Lohkah Qishang Hotel...
A guest room that will be conquered no matter how difficult it is to control details
Such a pure land, with less than 200 rooms, the entire room area is very large, and the space and privacy of each room are beyond doubt.
You need to swipe your card to enter the guest room. Different flowers are placed in the black elevator every day. You can only reach the floor where your room card is located to ensure that you are not disturbed by outsiders.
All swipe sensing areas at entrances, including the door, adopt a hidden design to maximize the appearance of the design;
Outside the elevator, it is elegant and pure white. The corridor is the first hotel in Asia to use silk glass. It is very transparent under the sun, and the light and shadow are particularly textured here.
It feels like I have been fascinated by all kinds of details and qualities before I even entered the room.
The moment I opened the door, and the moment the curtains automatically opened, I was fascinated by the open harbor scenery. The floor-to-ceiling panoramic window completely opened up the boundary between indoor and outdoor, as if I were in the boundless sea.
The interior design of the room perfectly blends the new Chinese aesthetics with the modern and comfortable home atmosphere. There are not many decorative elements in the entire room. A painting, Zen potted plants, and a few books make the art of leaving space more elegant and exquisite.
The big bed that you love directly faces the layout of the balcony bay, and when you wake up, a picture of the beauty of nature between heaven and earth is laid out in front of you. You don't want to get up when you lie on King Koil mattress and imported 510 woven cotton high-quality bedding. The wireless phone at the bedside and all light controls are hidden in the rotary buttons on the bedside and wall. With a slight twist, all problems can be solved with one click.
Each room has an oversized private balcony that can enjoy charming garden views or bay views. For example, a friend's courtyard with a water view is not bad. On the first floor, you can sit directly on the balcony and stone platform to drink tea, and you can also enjoy breakfast delivered to your room.
The best thing is that the balcony is equipped with sofas on the inside and outside and at both ends, allowing you to enjoy the scenery from any angle.
From morning to evening, from dusk to night, you can stay and not want to leave. Look at the sea, watch the sunset, watch the night...
The LOEWE suspended TV facing the queen bed can be rotated and you can lie down on the oversized balcony and watch TV while drinking free drinks or capsule coffee from the minibar, paired with snacks. It's so comfortable! Push the quality of luxury vacations to another peak. One detail moved me very much. When I open the balcony glass door, the central air conditioner will automatically turn off. It is very environmentally friendly.
I especially love the half-covered sliding door between the bathtub and the bedroom. It can always open up different worlds when opening and closing. You can take a bath and watch the beautiful sunset; when you close the transparent space under natural lighting, it has both tranquility and refinement.
The bathroom is separated from dry and wet, and the dual vanity design is not a problem. The fully automatic PG's customized aluminum stone deep immersion tub, culti milano's bathing accessories, Valera hair dryer, and the faucet uses the classic AXOR Axor Citrio E series., which highlights the low-key luxury inside.
Everything in the room reflects the hotel's low-key luxury-simple design, atmosphere creation, superb craftsmanship, focus on details, and the sixteen words convey the true meaning.
Awakening art debut and dinner
Quietly watch the sunset in your room, and prepare to attend tonight's 2020 Awakening Wake-up Art debut and dinner at the Qishang Hotel in Lohkah. This time, we actually came for it. The dinner was held in the hotel's pillar-free high-ceiling banquet hall, outside which was an oversized sun terrace with a dock view.
Everyone is wearing black evening dresses, and there are special invitation cards and menus on each table. It is very formal. Today's dishes come from the signature dishes and special products of Chinese and Western restaurants, and each dish is the freshest high-end ingredients.
The starter is prepared with great care, with Spanish ham, figs, cheese and soft slices of bread to create a wonderfully exquisite taste. The skin wrapped in sweet and sour taste tastes soft and soft.
Amur caviar tasting is today's highlight. The top ingredients are so that you can have endless aftertaste even if you eat them directly. Therefore, we use simple steamed buns as the base, which is as crisp as it is, and have a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.
The sea emperor jade liquid hides the golden dragon. What I remember most is that the lobster meat is peeled off from the complete lobster shell, making the whole dish look like a work of art.
Fruit wood roasted black gold skinned duck. The tempting golden color makes one's fingers move just by looking at it. The crispy duck skin, the dense and delicate foie liver, the soft and flexible bread slices, and the black fish seeds on the top play a finishing touch and make the taste more layered.
There is also Jiuxingta foie liver and beef tenderloin grains, fat foie liver + fried beef tenderloin grains. The sauce is rich and palatable, and it looks simple and is very amazing to eat.
Golden melon raw crab roe risotto with crab meat dumplings, golden and fresh soup stewed with authentic Thai fragrant rice and crab roe, packed in small pumpkin, served with a bite of crab meat dumplings, and Yang Maodan, combined with a rich taste, warm, fresh and sweet.
The final chocolate dessert is made into a lychee tree, just like the lychee tree at the entrance of the hotel.
Every product is eaten on the tip of the tongue and appreciated in the heart. It truly makes people understand that food is not tired of fine food.
After dinner, the show in the courtyard on the first floor of the hotel officially kicked off. Facing the beautiful scenery of the harbor, the usually lazy, hazy and romantic lounge suddenly becomes lively. I especially like the design of the window lattice partitions here, which is very aesthetic.
Everyone leaned leisurely in twos and threes on the long sofas set up along the water features. Tonight's special cocktail names were also very special "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum". I chose Plum, which was sweet and sour at the entrance, and it was sweet and sweet, as if the tongue contained the fragrance of Plum, and the lingering charm remained...
The entire courtyard was decorated as a show venue in a dreamy manner. The show soon began, and its brand Lohkah was inspired by the Sanskrit word Loka, which means my spiritual world. Focusing on the concept of the Lingyue World of the Lohkah brand, the original main show "Lohkah World" was written by Wu Lin, a well-known artist living in Macao and art healing educator. He performed at the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the opening ceremony of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. It was an extraordinary experience, as well as a team of singers and Chinese drum players.
In the evening, you can also have a drink at the sign bar or tea room in the lobby on the first floor.
I would rather go back to my room, have a drink on the balcony, or take a comfortable bath. Behind him is Xiamen's top luxury mansion, Henghe Qishang.
Everything was beautiful this night. Good night milk has been put carefully at the bedside, and new welcome fruits and snacks have been added to the table that have not had time to eat during the day. There is also a accompanying gift...
So, good night, Xiamen.
Joy to the journey of physical, mental and gastric healing
The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was to open the curtains. It was another sunny day. Xiamen in winter was really comfortable and perfect for a vacation.
I made an appointment for a light wave healing class at the spa in the morning. This course is a bit special. It uses body yoga, spiritual meditation and sonic guidance to lead guests to focus on healing, rejuvenation and exploration of the inspiration and sublimation of their true self. In the Sanskrit sound and sound waves, I gradually empty myself...
The hotel's iconic SPA at Lohkah, which is about to open soon, combines the essence of ancient beauty treatments and modern physiotherapy to bring a completely relaxing urban vacation.
The ancient spa room is equipped with 12 nursing rooms, a sauna room and a steam room. It is also equipped with a course room and a gym. The most special thing is this lounge. After finishing the spa, lying on a stone slab designed to follow the arc of the body gets slightly warm. Coupled with the warm sun shining on you, it feels really comfortable.
Breakfast is served in the western restaurant on the first floor of the hotel-"Amoy Yinghong". The design of the restaurant also combines symmetrical aesthetics with oriental elements. It is said that the lunch and dinner here are mainly exotic dishes, so I will try it again next time.
In addition to enjoying breakfast, the semi-open outdoor pavilion is also a good place to enjoy afternoon tea with the sunset.
Breakfast is in the form of a semi-buffet à la carte. Although it does not provide as many choices as ordinary five-star hotels, it is exquisite and diverse.
You can also order and choose from a wide variety of European types: waffles, crepes, French baked breads, omelets, Benedictine eggs, etc. There are also many local specialties such as noodle paste, oyster frying, sand tea noodles, Xiamen biscuits... you won't get tired of eating here for three days in a row.
Breakfast time is until 11 o'clock, which is a slow vacation life! In addition, as long as you are staying in the hotel, you can also enjoy free in-room breakfast service.
From the beginning of breakfast, thoroughly wake up your taste buds.
Lunch was at the Chinese restaurant, which was named "XIA". The walls were made up of 650000 small red bricks, which gave a sense of place like the red walls of an old house in Fujian.
There are 12 private rooms of different styles, with an introverted yet surprising dining environment, creating a low-key Chinese luxury and a Zen atmosphere that transforms complexity into simplicity.
The chefs here must be familiar with the essence of Cantonese cuisine. Bite the crispy skin together with the fat lean meat of the Q-bomb. The puffy feeling of the fat is extremely satisfying and the aftertaste is sweet.
The tempting golden crispy skin looks cute and has the right fat ratio.
Select fresh local seasonal ingredients and incorporate the essence of Fujian, Guangdong and Sichuan cuisine, bringing an infinitely beautiful dining experience. Therefore, our table also has a variety of flavors to meet our individual needs from different regions.
There is also a particularly tempting one. Whether you check in the morning, in the afternoon, or in the evening, you can stay for a full 24 hours and enjoy checking out at any time 24 hours.
Although I stayed for a full 24 hours, I still felt reluctant to leave.
Different from traditional luxury five-star hotels, the Lohkah Qishang Hotel, regardless of its simple and ultimate resort aesthetics, timeless fashionable design, or the unique qualities of low-key luxury and authentic self, and the perfect combination of refined classical and modern style... let The integration of urban space and vacation concepts brings a unique experience that is different from the past. No wonder it has become the "most beautiful" hotel in Xiamen.
However, those high-end hotels that you can only understand after sleeping in, like Lohkah Qishang, can only give a thumbs up when you actually check in: You really deserve the evaluation that the most expensive thing is the best.
