A must-visit hotel for hotel lovers. What's so special about this hotel?
Recently, I stayed at a hotel in Chengdu that I really like - InterContinental Century City Chengdu. The hotel is located in the bustling city, yet it is like a quiet oasis. The architectural design retains traditional oriental elements while incorporating modern linear structures, making it a sight to behold. Recently, the hotel celebrated its 17th anniversary.

🎨 The hotel has many artworks. I really like the giant calligraphy scroll "Heavenly Book" hanging from the ceiling in the lobby. The calligraphy by Zhu Zhishan is bold and unrestrained, transcending conventional rules. The work "Jiyang Climbing Taibai Restaurant and Sending to Shi Huzhou" is more about meaning than rules, with an open and grand momentum. One of the hotel's "treasures" in the lobby is the representative work "Green Dog" by Zhou Chunya, worth over ¥30 million. Zhou Chunya's painting style focuses on contemporary society, emphasizing the pursuit of individuality while not being limited to local culture. The green dog he depicts is a symbol, adding a unique artistic charm to the lobby.

❤️ The hotel's welcome gift, full of Chengdu characteristics, gave me a big surprise. Chengdu-style snacks are exquisitely arranged, with the aroma of tea and sweetness intertwined, instantly creating a leisurely atmosphere of a Chengdu teahouse. What touched me even more was that they printed my photo and placed it on the bedside, as if welcoming an old friend who hasn't been seen for a long time. This meticulous care filled my heart with warmth.

🥢 This time, I tried the famous Long Xuan Chinese Restaurant, which offers authentic Hong Kong-style Cantonese cuisine and exquisite Cantonese dim sum. The restaurant's chef is known for his expertise in traditional Cantonese cuisine and seafood, preserving authentic flavors and excelling in traditional Cantonese cooking methods such as steaming, poaching, and pan-frying.

🍵 Don't miss the hotel's Qingting Tea Lounge, where you can savor hundreds of famous teas from China and abroad. The trees in the courtyard outside the window sway with the wind, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in this green world and forget the hustle and bustle of the city.
