Come to Guiyang and experience the amazing scenery at Atour Hotel, Guanshanhu Park, Guiyang

## **Atour Hotel, Guanshanhu, Guiyang: A Quiet Corner in the Bustling City** ### **Arrival: An Instant Connection** As the car enters Guanshanhu District, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually fades away, replaced by wide streets and lush greenery. Atour Hotel is located next to Guanshanhu Park. The gray and white building is understated yet stylish, with floor-to-ceiling windows and wooden decorations that give it a modern and Zen-like feel. Stepping inside, the lobby is filled with Atour's signature light woody fragrance, which is not strong but relaxing enough. The front desk staff doesn't greet you with a mechanical "Hello, sir," but with a natural, friendly greeting like, "Was your trip here smooth?" While checking in, a cup of warm black tea is handed to you, with a handwritten welcome card pressed under the cup—this kind of attention to detail instantly relieves the fatigue of the journey. ### **Rooms: A Philosophy of Comfort in Simplicity** Swiping the card to enter the room, the lights turn on automatically, and the warm yellow tones are reassuring. Atour's guest rooms have always been minimalist, but there are many thoughtful details: natural wood furniture, simple fabric sofas, and well-placed reading lights by the bed. The bedding is Atour's signature Plant series, which feels smooth to the touch. The moment you lie down, the tension in your body seems to be gently caught. The view from the window is excellent, facing Guanshanhu Park, with greenery as far as the eye can see. If you open the curtains in the morning, you can see people jogging and a thin mist rising from the lake. The bathroom has a separate shower and toilet, and the amenities are Atour's custom gardenia series, which is fresh and not greasy, and the skin does not feel dry after bathing. What surprised me the most was that the room also had a "Guiyang Walking Guide," which recommended small local cafes and walking routes nearby—this kind of localized service makes the hotel more than just a place to stay overnight, but a starting point for exploring the city. ### **Night Rest and Morning Wake-Up: Switching Between Nature and City** Atour is especially quiet at night, with excellent soundproofing, and you can hardly hear any noise from the hallway or next door. Before going to bed, flip through the books on the bedside table (each room has a few selected books), or play some light music with the Bluetooth speaker, and the feeling of fatigue is quickly soothed. The next morning, wake up to natural light and change into sportswear for a slow run in Guanshanhu Park. The hotel is just a few steps away from the park entrance. The morning air is humid and fresh, the lake reflects the rising sun, and occasionally egrets fly by. After the run, the restaurant on the first floor has prepared breakfast. Local specialties such as Changwang noodles, sour soup noodles, and freshly ground coffee are lined up, and the combination of Chinese and Western options makes people appetite. ### **Small Happiness When Leaving** When checking out, the front desk handed over a bottle of warm mineral water, "Take it with you on the road." This simple sentence made the steps of departure much lighter. The Atour experience is never about luxury, but about using just the right details to find a "just right" comfort during the journey. ### **Conclusion: More Than Just a Hotel, It's a Lifestyle Proposal** The two days at Atour Hotel, Guanshanhu, Guiyang, were like a short urban retreat. It doesn't have the extravagance of a five-star hotel, but it uses attentive service and thoughtful space design to find a moment of tranquility in a busy journey. If I come to Guiyang again next time, I may still choose here—not only because it is close to nature, but also because it makes the time "on the road" feel like home.
