Chun'an, Hangzhou｜Qiandao Lake's Hidden Vacation Paradise

Da Le Zhi Ye at Qiandao Lake is simply the top choice for an urban escape plan! Just a 1.5-hour drive from Hangzhou, this secluded aesthetic space between lake and mountains feels like a scene straight out of "Little Forest" with every snap 💐 ✨ Highlights of the Boutique Stay Hidden deep in Qiandao Lake, this Hui-style architectural complex features white walls and black tiles paired with floor-to-ceiling glass, preserving the charm of Jiangnan while blending modern minimalism. The best part is the loft rooms with starry skylights, where you can lie in bed and watch the Milky Way at night 🌌 Each room has a private viewing terrace with excellent privacy, and the morning mist over the lake will gently wake you up~ 🌳 Picture-Perfect Spots • Main building spiral staircase: geometric lines and interplay of light and shadow, perfect for silhouette shots in a plain long dress • Infinity pool: the evening blue sky and pink clouds reflect on the water; bring a bright silk scarf as a prop • Bamboo forest tea room: thatched roof + wooden tea table, perfect for brewing tea on rainy days with a cozy atmosphere • Lake view terrace breakfast: the butler prepares a bamboo woven food box paired with local wild persimmons for an Instagram-worthy breakfast shot 🚗 Nearby Activities • Cycling around the lake: the hotel offers free mountain bikes; a 15-minute ride along the Chunyang route leads to a popular coffee cart • Qinchuan Ancient Village: 20 minutes by car, a 700-year-old Hui-style village with bluestone paths perfect for hanfu photos • Tianyu Mountain Viewing Platform: take the escalator up at sunset to overlook the Qiandao Lake Bridge and the scattered islands 🍜 Hidden Perks Guests receive homemade rice wine and seasonal fruits (freshly picked yangmei during the season!) When booking a lake view room, remember to request the "terrace room with a hanging chair." There’s also a bonfire movie night, and the butler quietly prepares hand warmers for the ladies~ ⚠️ Tips 1. For self-driving, set navigation to "Da Le Zhi Ye Qiandao Lake Parking Lot"; the last 3 km of mountain road is a bit narrow 2. Bring mosquito repellent in summer; fireflies occasionally visit the forest rooms 3. Book weekend rooms one month in advance; family rooms have tatami mats and wooden rocking horses 💬 Real Experience One rainy morning while doing yoga on the terrace, a wild squirrel suddenly jumped over asking for pine nuts! The butler said they are regular visitors~ This healing feeling of living in harmony with nature is probably the most luxurious experience in a concrete jungle.
