A secret weekend getaway hidden in a paradise

In Chengdu, if you want to escape the monotony of life, the Mercure Chengdu Expo is the perfect place for you. It's like a book of prose, full of surprises and poetry, but more like a relaxing song with a slow pace and a touch of warmth.

The hotel's design looks like a "cheat sheet" of nature, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby, and layers of greenery and waterfalls outside. The rooms are decorated in clear colors, with wood, stone, and some metal elements. Each room is like a "picture frame," with a different view outside the window: some have views of waterfalls, some have views of distant mountains, and some have private terraces where you can take a bath and get close to nature. Some rooms even have private gardens where you can relax in your own pool.

Speaking of hot springs, the hotel has a magical power that makes you want to stay. The pools are hidden in the greenery, so private that they seem to be prepared just for you. The strange rocks and red leaves outside the floor-to-ceiling windows look like a watercolor painting, and when you soak in the hot spring water, all your worries disappear like the bubbles in a soda.

Chengdu people love to gather around a stove and drink tea, and this is no exception. The steam from the real charcoal fire instantly gives you a sense of healing. Eating sweet potatoes and chatting with friends about life and gossip, life is full of vitality.

If you long for poetry and distant places, it's actually just an hour away from you on a weekend.
