Discover a Hidden Gem in Hangzhou: Stay at the "Forest Courtyard" by West Lake

Attention all travelers visiting Hangzhou! This time, I stayed at Yanchao Courtyard Hotel near Hupao Road by West Lake, which completely shattered my stereotypes about "scenic area accommodations" and delivered an exceptional experience ✨ 🌿 Environment: A forest oxygen bar tucked away on Hupao Road The hotel's location is absolutely perfect! It's super close to Hupao Park and Prince Bay Park, just a short walk to West Lake 🌊 Surrounded by lush greenery, the courtyard features fish playing among lotus leaves in the pond, like a scene straight out of the "Book of Songs" – serene and healing, completely escaping the city's hustle and bustle. 🛏️ Rooms: So comfortable you won't want to leave The bedding includes fluffy down comforters, with both down and latex pillows available, ensuring even light sleepers can rest well 💤 The floor-to-ceiling windows are a major plus! Open the curtains to a view full of greenery, waking up gently to sunlight in the morning and enjoying the swaying tree shadows in the evening, creating a perfect ambiance 🌙 🍳 Breakfast: Thoughtful and abundant Breakfast is served from 7:30 to 10:00, with a set menu per person so you don’t have to decide what to eat 🥢 Freshly made Chinese dishes are served hot and delicious – a great way to fuel up before exploring West Lake! 🚶 Getting Around: Super convenient location Just a 5-15 minute walk to Hupao Park and the Zoo 🐯 West Lake attractions are also nearby, or you can take a 1-2 stop bus ride if you prefer not to walk, making it easy for families with kids or elderly relatives 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 After staying at so many hotels in Hangzhou, Yanchao is one of the rare ones that makes you want to recommend it to everyone! With great value, comfort, and atmosphere all in check, it’s the perfect choice for your West Lake trip.
