Winter retreat at Xixi! The warmth of Fanyun Song Dynasty aesthetic rooms touches the heart



In winter, hide in the gentleness of Xixi; only by staying at Fanyun can you truly understand the winter romance of Song-style aesthetics!

The hotel design really hits me—the inspiration comes from the Southern Song Dynasty’s "Four Scenes Landscape Painting." White walls and black tiles reflect the sparse shadows of winter branches, wooden furniture wrapped in warm light, and even the courtyard features Japanese dry landscape Zen style. Opening the window feels like stepping into an ink painting scroll, with the perfect mood of "deep in the clouds, nowhere to be found"~

The lake-view courtyard room’s four-layer windows block the cold wind, Dyson and Atelier Cologne toiletries are fully provided, and a hot gorgon fruit cake is offered as a night treat. The creekside hearth afternoon tea is super healing—roasted tangerines with black tea, watching boats sail by, you become part of the winter scenery.

During the day, ride a punt boat to see the bare branches reflected in the water, take a helium balloon to overlook Xixi’s winter sun, and capture tree shadows on white walls for travel photos that get tons of likes on social media! No need to rush to attractions; just nestle in the courtyard, brew tea, and bask in the sun—so comfortable you won’t want to leave~
