As the first rays of dawn gently awaken the slumbering mountains in the East, a serene haven emerges at the foot of Mount Lu. Zhonglu Hotel stands quietly here, gazing affectionately at the majestic Donglin Buddha. The grandeur of the mountains, the solemnity of the Buddha, and the elegance of the hotel intertwine harmoniously, creating a masterpiece of unity between humanity and nature. Falling asleep to the sound of flowing water, one feels transported through millennia, as the mist-shrouded gray tiles and blue bricks evoke the charm of an ancient town, like an unfolding ink painting narrating its timeless story.
Zhonglu Hotel (Donglin Ancient Town Branch) is a sanctuary that combines natural beauty with Zen culture, offering every traveler a retreat from the clamor of the world to find inner peace and embark on a journey of spiritual renewal. The design of Zhonglu Hotel draws inspiration from the serene imagery in Wang Wei's poem "Pavilion by the Lake," where "lotuses rise from the pure land, and boats welcome esteemed guests." The elegant simplicity of traditional Chinese aesthetics is complemented by the sleek modern style, creating a unique blend of artistic charm.
The hotel features distinctive spaces such as a coffee bar, tea-tasting area, viewing platform, and restaurant, allowing guests to experience the unique tranquility of "picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence and leisurely gazing at the southern mountains."
