A Journey to XiXi, where seclusion is sent at Hongyuan Bieyuan

🏨 The Mu Shou XiXi Hotel is nestled within the Hangzhou XiXi National Wetland Park, accessible by waterway and land. It encompasses the natural plain water network, wild vegetation, and distant hills, vividly presenting XiXi's unique 'tranquil, wild, and secluded' natural features, becoming a high-end resort in the city. 🏠 Hotel: Hangzhou Mu Shou XiXi Hotel 📍 Address: Wuchang Street, Yuhang District, Hangzhou 🏠 The overall architecture and landscape of Mu Shou XiXi are crafted by GOA Big Elephant Design and Zhang Tang Landscape, with a design concept based on the wetland's cold, quiet, solitary, wild, and secluded atmosphere. Using architecture as a medium, it evokes a resonance between people and pristine nature. XiXi Wetland is distinct from the typical Jiangnan water towns, and over more than 1800 years of natural evolution, it has been endowed with a primitive ecological appearance and profound cultural memory. 🕌 The architects aim to convey XiXi Wetland's unique aesthetic value through their design, creating a resort hotel that belongs exclusively to XiXi Wetland. This concept also inspired the hotel's name—'Mu Shou' refers to the last fruit left intentionally on the tree by farmers to share with the birds, praying for a bountiful harvest the following year—a sharing attitude with nature that runs through the design process of the Mu Shou XiXi project. 🏡 The landscape design also maintains the original ecological wetland atmosphere, with small-scale, point juxtaposition techniques to insert some trails, water-friendly platforms, and structures. Based on the site's unique sunrise and sunset and climatic changes, the design concepts of important landscape nodes are derived from the descriptions of the twenty-four solar terms such as 'Rain Water,' 'Spring Equinox,' 'Grain Rain,' 'Summer Solstice,' 'Start of Autumn,' 'Autumn Equinox,' 'Winter Solstice,' and 'Minor Cold' by the Left River, customizing corresponding landscape sculptures and sequentially linking the entire site's landscape design elements. 🎊 The project reveals different aesthetics with the changing scenes of the four seasons. The waterway design is based on the wetland's original topography, allowing modern people accustomed to land travel to reach the hotel along ancient waterways, obtaining another perspective of XiXi Wetland through the gentle waves of the oar boats. ▪️🏡 Guest Rooms 🏨 The five buildings of Mu Shou XiXi are meticulous renovations of old buildings on the original site, four of which are used as guest room buildings. With 43 rooms hidden among streams and trees, their interior design continues the building's naturalism and modern aesthetic concepts, ingeniously integrating the external landscape into the interior, ensuring that every step taken brings a different natural landscape experience. ✅ Amenities 🏰 The hotel's luxurious facilities include Bose Bluetooth speakers, Dyson hair dryers, Atelier Cologne bathroom products, TOTO smart toilets, and Nespresso coffee machines, providing guests with an ultimate modern accommodation experience. 🍲 Dining 🏛️ The hotel's exclusive restaurant 'Xi Yin' is located opposite the landscape pool and the main entrance, offering exquisite dishes from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. The chef team follows the principle of seasonal changes, selecting high-quality ingredients with local characteristics, and skillfully blending Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine with local XiXi specialties, inviting you to enjoy a feast of delicacies amidst the beautiful scenery of the stream and forest. ❣️ Here, become more secluded and natural—the best experience is to take a rowing boat deep into the tranquility and seclusion of XiXi. The hotel has specially opened a direct route to the hotel, where with just one day's advance booking, you can enjoy the unique experience of being rowed by staff into the hotel.
