Inspired by Liu Shishi! The newly opened French-style manor at the foot of Daqi Mountain

Chanson French Manor is modeled after the rural estates of southern France, exuding classical European charm in every architectural detail. With beige stone walls, arched windows and doors, vintage wrought-iron railings, and climbing roses alongside lavender bushes, it resembles a Provence estate straight out of an oil painting.

Guest rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows facing Daqi Mountain, complete with viewing terraces, vintage four-poster beds, and freestanding bathtubs—perfect for stargazing as you drift off to sleep. Some rooms boast private courtyards adorned with French floral fabrics and rattan furniture, creating a laid-back ambiance ideal for afternoon tea and reading. All rooms are equipped with BOSE sound systems, L'Occitane toiletries, and underfloor heating/central air conditioning, with select room types including private hot spring pools.

The restaurant serves traditional French cuisine like foie gras mousse and duck confit, paired with estate-produced wines. Breakfast features freshly baked croissants, homemade jams, and local specialty wontons. Afternoon tea is served on three-tiered silver trays with macarons, scones, and Tonglu's Snow Water Cloud Green Tea, which can be enjoyed in the garden or by the pool.

The semi-outdoor heated pool is suitable for year-round use, with underwater lighting resembling a starry sky at night. The library houses French literature and art books, along with a vinyl record player and classic chanson albums. There's also a children's play area and a petting zoo.

Chanson French Manor is more than just a hotel—it's an aesthetic practice of slow living. Nestled among Tonglu's green mountains and clear waters, it weaves your own vacation poetry with French elegance.
