Nationaal Bospark van Qiandaohu

Great location and staff. Hotel is old/run-down. Room on non-smoking floor smelt smokey. Swimming pool was not 5 star hotel worthy: old and looked as if it was a public place

This is definitely the peak of aesthetics when it comes to the ‘neo-Chinois” style. Breathtakingly beautiful down to every single detail. Even the dinnerware for buffet breakfast is gorgeous. Staff are warm and welcome. The only downside is, there’s not much of sound proof. As a top-notch luxurious hotel, they can definitely pick more expensive windows. I was woken up several times at night by people coming out of the hotel or truck unloading. Their old counterpart, the west building, being built in the 1950s, is actually way much better in terms of sound proof. Just close the window then you can’t hear anything from outside
