Every time I stay at Chongqing Bailian Hotel for two days, I am reluctant to check out at the end. I have been to Chongqing three times and stayed at Bailian Hotel three times. Ten years ago, Chongqing Bailian Hotel emerged on the bank of Jialing River at the foot of Jinyun Mountain in Beibei, Chongqing. It has a completely unique location and has always been the hotel with the highest room rates in Chongqing since its opening.
1. The hotel was designed by British designer John Heah, who also designed Kunming Bailian. All the hotel buildings, including the lobby, villas, hot spring reception, etc., are hidden among the lush trees. Everything follows the natural and original appearance. In many guest rooms and bathrooms, you can even see huge trees growing through the rooms. At the beginning of the construction of the hotel, no tree was cut down, and the original vegetation here was not destroyed. It originated from nature and returned to nature.
2. All the buildings in the hotel use a large amount of top-grade teak from Southeast Asia. The furniture in the book bar, tea room, bar, restaurant and other spaces in the main lobby are all made of high-quality solid wood, which is delicate, textured and full of quaint charm. The calligraphy, paintings, ornaments and books in the space exude endless tranquility, elegance and a strong literary and poetic atmosphere.
3. Because it is deep in nature, both the lobby and the guest rooms face the Jialing River and the dark mountains. The full-length windows completely capture the greenery in front of you. Every window is a picturesque view of the free clinic. It is so beautiful.
4. Staying here, soaking in hot springs is the first and most enjoyable thing. You can enjoy it directly in the pool in your room. The night bed attendant will put hot spring water of suitable temperature for you. You can also go to the hot spring area, where there are 26 hot spring pools of different styles. It is so pleasant and beautiful to enjoy an outdoor hot spring surrounded by mountain streams, birds and flowers.
5. The catering at Bailian is also excellent. Here you can not only enjoy Chinese and Western health-preserving set meals, but also order a variety of signature and seasonal dishes. You can also have a very ceremonial Yunnan cross-bridge rice noodles. If you want to relax, you can go to the teahouse, where they have top-quality Pu'er tea;
6. Chongqing Bailian has been in operation for more than ten years and has not undergone large-scale renovations, so there are naturally traces of time. But in my opinion, it does not affect its beauty, comfort, tranquility and seclusion at all. As time goes by, Chongqing Bailian remains charming and it is definitely worth a special trip to check it out.
