|A magical bamboo forest experience. I finally checked off this hidden gem from my wishlist—Hangzhou Cloudwalk Resort! After checking in, all I could think was: What a heavenly place! From the environment to the service, it made me want to retire and live in the mountains!
[A Secluded Paradise, a Natural Oxygen Bar]
The hotel is nestled within the Yunqi Bamboo Trail, one of the Ten Scenes of West Lake. Open the window, and you're greeted by a vast bamboo sea and ancient trees, breathing in the fresh, sweet scent of nature with an abundance of negative ions! This is said to be a filming location for the movie *Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon*. Every photo taken along the bamboo paths feels like a scene from a martial arts film. The butler thoughtfully provides shuttle service up and down the mountain, so you don't have to climb yourself—a blessing for lazy people!

This time, I stayed in the "Secret Realm Deluxe Suite," and I was absolutely blown away! The room features a dynamic ocean wall, where schools of tropical fish swim amidst blue light, making you feel like you're in Atlantis! The bathtub faces the fish wall, giving you the sensation of being a mermaid princess. The smart home features are also super convenient, with electric curtains, sensor night lights, and even a heated toilet seat! The toiletries are from Acqua di Parma, the minibar drinks and snacks are all free, and they even deliver a sweet soup at night—a detail-oriented person's dream!
PS: The hotel only has 28 rooms, each with a unique design! The mountain view rooms have 270° floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a view of a green wonderland upon waking. Rooms with courtyards are suitable for families, allowing children to play freely.
[Healing Experiences, Full of Ritual]
-**Bamboo Forest Yoga**: Doing yoga in the morning on the terrace surrounded by bamboo, with the sounds of birds and springs as your background music, instantly relaxes your body and mind.
-**Starlight Pool**: At night, the infinity pool lights up with star-shaped lights. After a swim, lie on a lounge chair and count the stars—utterly romantic!
-**Attentive Butler Service**: I must praise Butler Liu! From check-in to check-out, he provided personalized service, even remembering my favorite tea. He also helped plan a hiking route for the Yunqi Bamboo Trail, making the experience a 10/10!
