Romantic Hotels in Chun'an

This is a stunning guesthouse, nestled amidst the breathtaking scenery of Qiandao Lake. And it truly is a picturesque lakeside retreat! I discovered that due to an extended bay, when the wind blows, two sections of water merge, creating two shimmering reflections on the surface, a serene and beautiful scene. The courtyard is spacious and well-designed; the owners clearly put a lot of thought into it, perhaps not just to attract tourists, but also to please themselves, as everything is incredibly comfortable. I spent two nights relaxing on a poolside lounge chair, gazing at the stars, enjoying the cool evening breeze – pure bliss. Dinner tasted like home cooking, with carefully selected ingredients and methods. The nearby rafting is fantastic; the owner's wife gave me an unbeatable tip – the water ladle is definitely the best weapon! 😂 I'm already looking forward to bringing my family back!

Qingming Festival Thousand Island Lake Trip | Zhi Ya Art Hotel: Lake View is Heavenly, but Hardware and Surcharges are a Reality Check Qingming Festival mini-break · 2-day/1-night genuine experience · Combined with real feedback from Dianping over the past month 🌤️ Qingming Weather and First Impressions: Intermittent Sun and Rain on the Lake My trip to Thousand Island Lake during Qingming was perfectly timed with the weather – warm and sunny during the day (12-25℃), slightly cool in the mornings and evenings, with occasional mist and light rain. The air was humid, the plants were green, and the lake was often shrouded in a light haze, giving it a distinct spring江南 (Jiangnan) charm. The hotel is on Wenxin Island, an independent island in the middle of the lake, surrounded by water on all sides. You park your car at the pier and take a shuttle bus to the island. I was immediately struck by the scenery upon arrival: a 270° lake view, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a spacious balcony. The sunset in the evening painted the lake in shades of orange and pink. There's no need to jostle with crowds at scenic spots; you can capture stunning photos right from the hotel terrace. The art-style lobby, old movie theme, spiral staircase, and art installations create a strong ambiance and are very photogenic. 🛏️ Rooms and Hardware: Views are Top-Notch, Facilities are a Bit Old • Pros: The room was spacious, the bedding was soft, and there was a large bathtub on the balcony. Opening the window revealed the lake, and on rainy days, snuggling in the room to watch the misty Thousand Island Lake was peaceful and therapeutic. The service attitude was good, the shuttle bus was available on call, and basic requests were quickly addressed. • Cons: 1. Facilities are noticeably old: The decor, furniture, door locks, bathroom fixtures, and TV all show their age. There are clear signs of wear and tear, and some details look quite dated. 2. Heavy dampness: Being on an island and with frequent rain during Qingming, the room, hallway, and carpet all had a musty smell. Clothes didn't dry, and the duvet felt a bit damp to the touch. 3. Gym is practically useless: The space is small, the equipment is severely aged, chipped, and makes loud noises, making it virtually impossible to get a proper workout. 💰 Price Complaint: Severe Holiday Surcharge The Qingming holiday surcharge was outrageously high, nearly 500 RMB more per night than on weekdays. The price doesn't match the hardware, and the value for money plummets. Recent reviews over the past month also frequently complain about the steep price hikes on weekends/holidays, suggesting that only off-peak prices are reasonable. 🍽️ Dining and Surroundings Breakfast was decent and filling. The Thousand Island Lake fish head and river shrimp at the lakeside restaurant were fresh. There's a Neverland Cafe on the island, offering a great ambiance for lakeside afternoon tea, but the prices are on the higher side. Once on the island, it's inconvenient to go out, so activities are mostly confined to the hotel. ✅ Summary and Recommendations (Genuine and Objective) Pros: Excellent lake views, stunning sunsets, quiet environment, strong artistic atmosphere, good service attitude. Cons: Old facilities, noticeable dampness, aged gym, severe holiday surcharge. Suitable for: Those who only want to take photos, enjoy the lake view, don't exercise, and prefer off-peak, lower-priced stays. Not recommended for: Friends with high demands for facilities, who want to exercise, or have a limited budget during holidays. 📝 Travel Tips 1. Thousand Island Lake has a large temperature difference between day and night during Qingming (10-25℃), so bring a light jacket. 2. Spring is rainy, and the island is humid, so bring dehumidifier packets and quick-drying clothes. 3. Be sure to choose a lake view room when checking in; the scenery is vastly different. 4. Strongly recommend going off-peak; the value for money is much better on weekdays.

The hotel was fully booked on the day of our check-in, and we arrived over an hour early. Several staff members introduced us to various activities to pass the time, including a dedicated room for movies, board games, and a swimming pool. While waiting for our room, the service and amenities at InterContinental Danyang were exceptionally warm and thoughtful. The room was a family lake-view suite, accommodating four people. The hotel's location, far from the central lake area, was incredibly tranquil, with no tourists by the lake. Away from city light pollution, we surprisingly saw the Milky Way on our first night, a rare sight in East China. The swimming pool offered different children's activities daily. The botanical garden had a vast array of flowers and butterflies, along with a koi and swan pond where we could feed the fish. The hotel's two wings also featured a lighthouse and an observation deck. The buffet dinner had everything we could ask for, and on Chinese Valentine's Day, they even gave out roses. The fish head dish at the Chinese restaurant was absolutely superb. Breakfast deserves special praise; despite the hotel being fully booked, we could order noodles via our phones, and the staff proactively asked about our coffee preferences. This is exactly the standard expected from an established InterContinental brand, and even with the summer crowd, the service and quality were uncompromised. Finally, a special shout-out to our thoughtful butler, Emily. From the moment we checked in, she was incredibly attentive. On our last day, we had an early morning departure for a yacht in the central lake area. Without hesitation, Emily helped us arrange a late check-out, even during the busy summer season. To be honest, when I heard that the InterContinental was being rebranded, I had some reservations, worrying about a potential drop in service. However, after staying here, I can confidently say that this is by far the best hotel in China, in terms of both quality and service, that we've stayed at with our child during the summer season. Both its hard and soft assets are top-notch, and its service easily rivals that of established luxury hotel brands. I rarely choose to stay at the same hotel twice in the same location, but InterContinental Danyang has made me eagerly anticipate my next visit.

This is an older five-star hotel, so some of the facilities aren't quite up to date. The bedside outlets really need an upgrade; sometimes my charger would come loose. Also, perhaps due to the humid weather, even with the AC on, it didn't feel completely dry. On the plus side, the breakfast selection was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly and enthusiastic. The hotel offers plenty of activities, and the 20-meter indoor pool was perfect for swimming with the kids. The outdoor pool might have been closed due to the weather. They also have a kids' club and a sandpit area for younger children, as well as a small animal farm. Staff clean the animal area in the morning, which is a nice opportunity to take your little ones to see the animals. Our three-day, two-night stay at the hotel was quite fulfilling and enjoyable.

The room location is excellent, with a 270-degree lake view. It's an older hotel, but the service is great. The breakfast selection is extensive, and there was a welcome fruit platter with peaches and apples. The double kayak experience was fantastic! The hotel's water facilities are directly connected to Qiandao Lake, and the kayaking was truly an excellent experience. I would definitely book here again if I visit next time.

This guesthouse, priced at just over 200, delivered a 1000-level experience – it really exceeded my expectations. The room was clean and tidy, and the mountain view outside the window was lush and green. It's the perfect peaceful retreat for introverts. I checked in early and spent the afternoon reading in my room. The sunlight fell perfectly on my face and my book; it was warm and so comfortable. When I got tired of reading, I went downstairs for a stroll. The weather was perfect today; the lake was exceptionally blue, the same color as the sky, so beautiful I couldn't tear my eyes away. The guesthouse had two dogs, one quiet and one lively, following me around – they were really entertaining. I'll definitely be back to this guesthouse!

This hotel was absolutely wonderful! The independent European-style manor is nestled amidst mountains and water, in a remarkably tranquil environment. Stepping inside felt like entering a private estate, incredibly relaxing and comfortable. The balcony outside the room was exceptionally spacious, with lush green lawns and crystal-clear lake water right outside the door. The distant mountains reflected in the lake, offering a breathtaking and soothing view. In the evening, the sunset painted the sky and lake with warm hues, a beauty that was impossible to look away from. I even witnessed someone setting up for a wedding photoshoot on the lawn – the atmosphere was incredibly romantic. Breakfast was thoughtfully delivered to my room, and I simply carried my meal to the balcony, enjoying it leisurely amidst the stunning lake and mountain views. Even the breeze carried a sense of tranquility. From the hotel's elegant and grand exterior to the breathtaking lake and mountain scenery, everything was incredibly soothing. The overall experience was fantastic, and it's the kind of vacation I'd definitely want to return to!

I originally booked for late April, but it got pushed to early May. On the last day of the holiday, most people had left, so the resort was very quiet. They upgraded me to a lake-view room, which offered beautiful scenery. There was also a WeChat butler service – a big shout-out to Yu Duoduo! She fulfilled all my requests and responded very promptly. I didn't have high expectations initially, but Thousand Island Lake, with its cascading green hills, truly lives up to its reputation for beauty. It was already quite sunny in early May, and I ended up not visiting any of the planned attractions, choosing to just stay at the hotel. Luckily, there was a zoo and a swimming pool, and the grounds were quite spacious. There were several swallows' nests under the balcony eaves, and the staff even covered them with foam, worried they might fall – truly kind-hearted people. The only minor drawback was the limited breakfast options, but that's a small detail; overall, it was still excellent.

My stay at the Qiandao Lake Cozy Island Resort was a fantastic experience. The hotel facilities are well-equipped overall, and the guest rooms are clean and tidy, with housekeeping doing an excellent job. The staff were thoughtful, warm, and very friendly and attentive. I even received a complimentary fruit platter, which was a lovely touch. The in-house dining was delicious; the Chinese-style fish head soup I tried was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and truly outstanding. The daily amenities are also extensive, with a wide variety of free breakfast options in the morning and a pleasant outdoor BBQ experience available in the evening. The hotel is located on an island, offering a tranquil and peaceful environment away from the hustle and bustle. The overall atmosphere is very comfortable and relaxing, making it an ideal choice for a leisure vacation.

This hotel's location is absolutely amazing! It's right by the central lake, so you can just step out and start exploring – incredibly convenient. The room was clean and tidy, and the bed was so soft and comfy; I felt completely refreshed after a good night's sleep. Standing on the balcony, enjoying the lake breeze and the view, was incredibly relaxing. The front desk staff, especially the lady, was super nice and patient, always helping me with my questions – truly thoughtful service!
