Fahai, you truly don't understand love

While most of China bakes under summer heat, Hangzhou becomes a cool paradise with temperatures around 20°C. I immersed myself by West Lake and ventured into Manjuelong Village, living days like ink paintings at "The Chan Resort·1934 Hotel Hangzhou" - waking to emerald tea fields, falling asleep to evening breezes and insect songs, where even time ripples like West Lake's gentle waves.

📍Address: Hangzhou, Zhejiang

🌅 Must-experience "Jiangnan Moments"

Morning·Ink-washed awakening by West Lake

Don't sleep in! Follow the morning mist to your date with West Lake. Willow trees along Su Causeway just waking, the lake veiled in delicate fog. Board a painted boat watching sunlight gild Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, while lotus fragrance mingles with morning dew - every breath a gift from Jiangnan.

Afternoon·Tea-scented nap in Manjuelong

This village hides relaxation worthy of its "viral hotpot house" fame. Nestle into mountain tea houses with osmanthus-infused Longjing tea and Ding Sheng cakes, watching sunlight dapple through tea leaves as squirrels dart through plantations. An afternoon of daydreaming turns cicada songs into background music.

Evening·Amber romance on Hupao Road

The Chan Resort's terrace is a hidden gem! Sunset paints Hupao Mountain in warm oranges as Leifeng Pagoda flickers through dusk. Brew some Jiuqu red tea, watch light climb vintage walls while evening breezes carry tea aromas, softening the day's fatigue.

🏡 Living in a painting: The Chan Resort·1934 Hotel

📍 No.196 Siyanjing, Hupao Road, West Lake District
This renovated Republic-era villa blends tea field views with retro elegance. Here you'll understand "falling asleep to Hangzhou's heartbeat" - nighttime whispers of Hupao Spring, mornings greeted by lakeside birdsong.

🌿 Romantic in all weather

Sunny days sparkle like "rippling waters at their finest", while rain brings "misty mountains' magical charm". Even drizzles become poetic strolling Jiuxi Eighteen Streams with oil-paper umbrellas, as if stepping into Dai Wangshu's verses.

Come stay in Hangzhou awhile - let West Lake's breezes and tea fields' green slowly iron life's wrinkles into osmanthus shadows of Manjuelong.
