🏨 'Accommodation Strategy'
I stayed at the Tonglu Conrad, secluded for a few days, the standalone villas are nestled in the deep forest, like a paradise.
From the room, all you can see through the window are distant mountains with dark green hues, and the emerald green waters of the Fen Shui River flowing slowly, as if living in a painting.
Recently, there's also a flower sea by the hotel's lakeside lawn, very photogenic.

🏨 Accommodation:
In Tonglu, I recommend staying at the Conrad❗️
⛰️ The standalone rooms are built on the mountain, with a beautiful green lawn🌳, next to it is a distant green lake, the environment is absolutely amazing! I took my parents there once and they didn't want to leave🥹
Recently, during the spring and summer flower viewing season, flowers in the public areas have bloomed, like walking into a big garden🌸 Fragrant everywhere～
I also stumbled upon a pop-up flower exhibition! A "flower world" was set up by the lake, perfectly interpreting "turning the blooming season into a holiday"～👏🏻
In the afternoon, the hotel's alpacas🦙 will be let out for a walk, they are not afraid of people and very cute‼️

I stayed at the most satisfying hotel in Hangzhou and didn't want to check out
This is definitely the most satisfying hotel I have stayed in Hangzhou, occupying an entire mountaintop, once you stay, you won't want to check out‼️ Tonglu Conrad Hotel, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, will definitely amaze you~
🔸Hangzhou Tonglu Conrad Hotel
📍Location: No. 2 Yinzu, Tianxi Lake Tourist Resort, it is recommended to drive by yourself, 🅿️ parking is especially convenient.
✅Facing Tianxi Lake, occupying the whole mountaintop, facing the mountain and the lake, it's full of the immediate sense of landscape painting, it's really stunning. Even if you do nothing, sitting on the terrace basking in the sun and enjoying the scenery is extremely pleasant.
✅I have to praise their facilities, which are really complete, including tennis courts, gym, constant temperature swimming pool, outdoor swimming pool, restaurants, small park, etc., rich entertainment facilities, and you can even feed the little alpacas, which is also great for family fun.
✅All-lake-view large terrace suites, with huge terraces, stunning lake views, and fun facilities for children, are really amazing. The hotel also has a Chinese restaurant and a Western restaurant, the taste is really good, exquisite and delicious.
The Tonglu Conrad Hotel, where you don't want to check out once you stay, has a perfect atmosphere~

I couldn't bear to check out from the secluded mountain view B&B in Tonglu!!
I chose this B&B for the National Day holiday, and I fell in love with the floor-to-ceiling windows at first sight. Every day, opening the curtains reveals a precious view for city dwellers.
⛰️ Wei Chi is located halfway up the mountain, with only one neighbor. For transportation, it's better to drive, but it's also convenient to take a taxi in Tonglu. Also, you need to reserve meals with the B&B a day in advance, or eat before you come.
⛰️ Although the hot springs were not open during the National Day holiday, there were still many recreational activities in the B&B. The entertainment room next to the restaurant has video game machines, pool tables, and table tennis, and the small bar has checkers. They also organize movie nights.
⛰️ But without the hot springs, Wei Chi lacks some charm. The temperature dropped a bit during the National Day holiday, so it was not suitable for swimming. Considering the cost performance, it's a bit expensive, but I heard that the boutique B&Bs in Tonglu are all in this price range. I recommend visiting in winter or midsummer to experience more fun in the deep mountains. For me, opening the window in the morning, sitting on the terrace in the silence with only the birds singing, returning to nature, returning to myself, this relaxing moment is priceless.
I saw many people talking about this B&B online, so my friend and I decided to go! 📍Wei Chi Qianshan Boutique B&B/Tonglu
▪️We stayed in the second phase room type with a great view, surrounded by bamboo forests, and super strong design sense. Each room type has its own characteristics
▪️Before check-in, the housekeeper will create a group chat to reserve the food in advance. The service during the stay is great. When you meet the service staff on the road, they will proactively tell you where to take better photos, which is very considerate~
▪️The hot springs are open from November to March of the following year, and we happened to catch up! We experienced the exquisite life of soaking in a private bath~ The privacy is very strong, and the experience is super good~ ▪️The package is very cost-effective, and my friend and I lived a refined life for less than four hundred per person~
🎄I drove from Shanghai to Tonglu Conrad on Christmas Eve. It takes about 4 hours one way without rest. It's quite far, but it's easier to drive after leaving Shanghai. Unlike the mountain road I drove to Tonglu B&B last time, Conrad seems to have rented a mountain, so the mountain road is much easier to drive and safer. The indoor underground parking garage has limited spaces. If it's full, you can park in the outdoor parking lot.
🏠Room: Conrad has buildings 1-6 (building 7 is under construction···), this time I stayed in the lake view terrace suite in building 6, which has a super large terrace. The view outside the terrace is also great, but it's a pity that the weather was too cold to use it much.
👩💼Service: During the stay, there were very few guests, and there were far more service staff than guests, so the poor service mentioned online, such as being ignored and the shuttle bus taking a long time to arrive, did not happen to me. However, the welcome fruit was just three apples, which was disappointing. The turndown service will put a signature teddy bear🐻 on the bed, but the duck🦆 I was looking forward to was out of stock.
🍰Breakfast: The place is small, but it has everything, and the same food tastes better than the breakfast I had at other Conrads. After the meal, you can ask the waiter for some carrots to feed the alpacas🦙.
🍲Restaurant: The Chinese and Western restaurants are in the same place, which is also where breakfast is served. I reserved a seat in the Chinese restaurant in advance at the front desk. The food tastes good, and the price is acceptable for a restaurant in Conrad. Diamond members can get a 75% discount.
🛝Scenic spots: There are some small scenic spots that are quite photogenic, but you need to explore them yourself. There are not many things for children to play with, mainly just strolling and taking photos. There are also two alpacas in the scenic area. They will be on the outdoor lawn when the weather is good, and at the entrance of the commercial garage when it's early in the morning or the weather is bad.
🏊♂️Swimming and fitness: The internet-famous swimming pool is beautiful and photogenic, and it's very comfortable to swim in. The gym is a bit disappointing, it's small and doesn't have much equipment, so I left after a glance

Living in a Real-life Version of the Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains | Tonglu Conrad
| Tonglu Conrad. When it comes to Tonglu, what comes to my mind is
Huang Gongwang's painting 'Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains'
Fan Zhongyan's poem 'Unrestrained in Tonglu County'
Stepping into the Tonglu Conrad Hotel
A landscape painting slowly unfolds, truly interpreting the secluded secret place of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai
Covering an area of 80,000 square meters, with only over 70 rooms, it is clear that even if the hotel is fully booked, it will 100% not be overcrowded. This is a must-choose for many babies who yearn for a secluded vacation.
The hotel is an hour away from Hangzhou city, so you can have a vacation without having to travel far.
The hotel's hardware and soft furnishings are beyond doubt. The basic room is a suite, and the smallest room is 70+ square meters.
Not only does it have spacious guest rooms, large indoor and outdoor public areas, an extraordinary lawn by the Tianxi Lake, reeds, fresh air, and the life of nature.
The hotel also has two little alpacas, super cute
