Lie back and enjoy the lake view, healing all your fatigue. Open the balcony door to the sparkling waters of Dongqian Lake! Wake up gently in the morning to birdsong and the lake breeze. In the evening, sit on the terrace with a drink and watch the sunset paint the lake in soft orange and red hues. Time seems to slow down.

The wooden furniture in the room carries a faint woody scent, and the rattan chair on the balcony is perfect for daydreaming. Every snap you take is a relaxing masterpiece, sure to get tons of likes on social media!
