苏州园林酒店·文杏里China

This is a rare "paradise on earth."

It's an island where time seems to stop, a place of tranquility untouched by the world. Take a leisurely stroll and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xishan Island. Admire the rippling waters and breathe in the fresh air. The misty mountains are often shrouded in clouds, like a fairyland beyond the sea of clouds. As you climb the mountain path, the scenery blends with the winter colors. At the peak, you can see the surrounding green mountains, clear lakes, and villages with white walls and black tiles, telling stories of the past. It's like a traditional Chinese painting that attracts countless visitors. Everyone has a fondness for ancient villages, with their blue bricks and black tiles, and smoke rising from the chimneys. Explore the charm of ancient villages and experience the passage of time. Walking among the blue bricks and black tiles, you feel like you've traveled back in time. Every brick and tile carries the memories of history, immersing you in the charm of the ancient village. Beyond the hustle and bustle, in the marketplace, lies a village touched by time, recording the lives of its people. Stroll through the old streets and alleys, savor the simple life, and feel the slow passage of time. Standing at the ancient pier, in the twilight of deep winter, the breeze over the lake dispels worries. The interplay of light and shadow is a gentle healing. The poetic scene of "distant mountains like ink, nearby waters shrouded in mist" is not only in poetry but also before your eyes. In this poetic Jiangnan landscape, there is a guesthouse that chases time, offering you the "poetry and distant places" you desire. With blue tiles and flying eaves, the black-and-white buildings stand gracefully, blending with the vibrant winter landscape. Enjoy the tranquility in a ginkgo forest where the wind blows and leaves fall. In the courtyard, Suzhou-style landscapes such as corridors, half-pavilions, rockeries, and stone bridges are recreated, allowing you to experience the exquisite beauty of Suzhou gardens. Walking through, you seem to cross history. Maple leaves, osmanthus, plum blossoms, ginkgo... silent yet elegant and serene. As the wind blows, they dance gracefully in the winter rhythm, gently falling. Find a terrace or pavilion to listen to the rustling bamboo leaves, drink tea, play chess, and enjoy the tranquility. The standalone buildings offer various room types, showcasing the depth and richness of new Chinese style. Some rooms have private balconies with natural light. Relax and enjoy the warm winter sun, as the vibrant colors unfold like a painting. This weekend, explore this mountain retreat, visit Xishan Island to admire the winter scenery, breathe deeply, and feel the romance and charm of winter.
