The magical reaction between the mountains and waters of southern Zhejiang and the Monument Valley-style castle hotel

Amidst the picturesque mountains and scattered lakes of southern Zhejiang, on a small island in the middle of Yunhe Lake, there is surprisingly a Monument Valley-style castle hotel hidden away. At first glance, one is amazed at how harmoniously the pink blends with the green mountains and waters, creating a magical reaction. Lishui Yunhe Huajianbao Rose Hotel is one of the most distinctive hotels under the Huazhu Group's Huajiantang brand. The hotel's keywords 'mountains, isolated island, castle, Monument Valley, starry sky' are all full of allure. The hotel is located on Juxian Island and Yunhe Lake, a hidden gem of southern Zhejiang's mountains and waters. The surrounding scenery alone is enough to make one forget the hustle and bustle of the city. The architecture itself is even more of a reason for people to come and stay. Almost everyone associates this building with Spain's Monument Valley building La Muralla Roja, but its appearance in Yunhe is not unrelated to the city's title as 'China's Wooden Toy City.' Architect Tian Jinghai combined Yunhe's building block elements with fairy tale dreams to create this pink fairy tale castle as if built with blocks. The geometric stacking of the building forms numerous lines and gaps, allowing light and shadow to wander through the corners of the building. Therefore, from morning to noon to evening, light and shadow write different poetic expressions in the building. Since the hotel is located on an isolated island, there are some precautions to take note of: 1. The hotel is in the center of the lake, inaccessible by land and requires a boat to reach the island. Navigate to 'Longmen Village Public Movie Screening Point,' which is the dock where you can park for free. Driving is recommended. 2. As the lake does not meet night navigation standards, night navigation is not possible. The last ferry to the island is at 16:30. The first ferry off the island in the morning is at 8:30. 3. The hotel has a restaurant, but ingredients need to be transported by boat to the island, so if you want to dine at the hotel, you need to make a reservation and order the day before. The front desk will send the menu in advance. If not dining at the hotel, be sure to bring snacks. Nearby attractions: 1. Yunhe Lake, where the hotel is located, has Xiangong Lake Scenic Area, Jinshuitan Hydropower Station, and Changting Beach for you to explore. 2. Yunhe Terraces and Lishui's Guyan Huaxiang are within an hour's drive, making them convenient stops. The road along the Oujiang River from the hotel dock to Guyan Huaxiang is scenic and particularly suitable for cycling. 3. Shisi Temple in Jingning and the ancient villages of Songyang are about a 2-hour drive away.
