Fuzhou｜Cloud Station on the North Bank of Minjiang River Still looking at Sandi Hilton

In the city of Banyan, on both sides of the two rivers, the most prosperous and modern area is undoubtedly the Central Business District on the north bank of the Minjiang River. The Sandi Center, one of Fuzhou's "three-piece suit", is located here, with the supporting hotel being Fuzhou Sandi Hilton Hotel. Having a mini vacation in your own city, this is also the 87th hotel I have stayed in with my child. 🚗: The hotel is located on the bank of the Minjiang River, right in the middle of Fuzhou Station and Fuzhou South Station, about 20 minutes by taxi to either. The Xiangban Station of Metro Line 2 is 500 meters away, making transportation convenient. The hotel's high-rise cloud design is very eye-catching. With the "Maritime Silk Road" as its cultural background, it sits on the bank of the Minjiang River, looking like a sailboat braving the wind and waves. The top of the building is adorned with elements of ancient "official hats", which are unique and eye-catching. When I arrived in the evening, I was transferred from the underground parking lot to the 1F concierge front desk. The young man guided me to the 40F lobby, where I immediately saw the carved murals of traditional Fuzhou lacquer art and the white scroll of a sailboat. The ups and downs are just like sails. Inside the lacquer mural, you can see the bustling scene of old Fuzhou, and along the way, you can see exquisite materials and flower arrangements, which are indeed pleasing to the eye. On the way to the lobby for check-in, you can see carved lacquer paintings everywhere, as well as the mature use of traditional craft materials such as porcelain and silk, which shows the hotel's integration and emphasis on local culture. 🛏️: The hotel has 331 rooms (suites). The river-view room I stayed in this time has a regular layout, and the decoration continues the style of the public area, with a natural and brisk transition. I have always liked this kind of grid carpet that looks comfortable and reassuring; in response to the policy of reducing plastic and protecting the environment, the hotel's room amenities have been upgraded to large bottles, and the mini bar is standard; there are welcome fruit plates, etc. The scenery outside the window is picturesque, with mountains and rivers like paintings, and the Minjiang River runs through the city like a jade belt. Because there is no obstruction in front, you can see Yantai Mountain and even part of Mawei, which makes children who like high floors very happy. 🏊: The fitness center on the 41F is equipped with a high-altitude swimming pool and a fully equipped gym. Next to the swimming pool is a floor-to-ceiling glass, creating a feeling of water and sky connection. A triangular viewing pool is also thoughtfully set up, and facilities such as dry and wet steaming are also available. The gym equipment is relatively high among the same level, with various sports equipment from the Lijian brand, which is very suitable for guests who like to exercise. There is also a high-altitude yoga room next door, where you can exercise while enjoying the scenery of the Minjiang River. The city reception hall is downstairs in the hotel, and there is a 5.5-kilometer North Garden Greenway along the river for outdoor exercise. 🍚: The hotel has a full range of Chinese and Western restaurants, with highlights in the Starry Sky Lounge and Weixianfang Chinese Restaurant. ｜Starry Sky Lounge🍹｜The Starry Sky Lounge on the 40F is also a day coffee and night wine mode, with hand-brewed coffee available. The exquisitely shaped themed afternoon tea paired with the scenery outside the window is an enjoyment not to be missed in the afternoon. The floor-to-ceiling windows have very good lighting, and it is also suitable for children to do homework by the window. Looking at the winding Minjiang River outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, it is very comfortable and cozy. In the evening, the Starry Sky Lounge turns into another look. The light tubes on the top of the restaurant are like twinkling stars, echoing the starry sky outside the window, making it a great place to check in. ｜Weixianfang Chinese Restaurant🥢｜The Chinese restaurant on the 39F is also worth visiting. On Saturday night, the walk-in area was actually full. Hilton has been doing chef seasons, allowing chefs from its hotels to study and learn. Weixianfang's Min and Cantonese cuisine is now well-cooked. For a family feast, the dishes here are not only exquisitely shaped, but also taste good, which makes the children applaud. The restaurant manager also recommended several signature dishes, such as Minnan Tea Emperor Shrimp, hand-rolled noodles, etc., which are long aftertaste after eating. The Chinese restaurant also accepts high-end banquets. After the chef's skillful preparation, each dish is also a beautiful work of art. If you come to Fuzhou for a holiday, choose to stay in the North Business District of Minjiang River, feel the city's prosperity, and it is not far to traditional attractions such as Sanfang Qixiang, Shangxia Hang, Yantai Mountain, etc. I recommend everyone to come for a holiday.
