Located by the serene shores of Lan Lake, the hotel’s core philosophy is “Residence by the Serene Lake, Elegance of Lanxi Wind.” It seamlessly blends the natural beauty of the lake and mountains with the local cultural heritage. As soon as you open your window in the morning, you are greeted by a tranquil body of water. Throughout the seasons, you find yourself in a mystical realm where tea plantations, wetlands, and the mist-laden beauty of Jiangnan intertwine. The hotel’s guest rooms combine Eastern elegance with modern comfort, with some units featuring private courtyards or viewing terraces where you can sleep by the lake. The hotel features a traditional craftsmanship workshop and a tea-break space by the lake, allowing you to experience the essence of Lanxi’s culture and natural beauty both visually and through the taste buds. Here, far from the hustle and bustle, you can embark on a deeply immersive journey akin to a “casual leisure” experience, rediscovering the poetic everyday life beyond the ancient commercial hub.
"🏡My first visit to Lanxi, Jinhua, was truly salvaged by Hanamandara. The hotel is about a 20-minute drive from Lanxi city center, and the environment is simply stunning. However, as it's a newly developed scenic area, amenities nearby are scarce, and the outdoor pool wasn't open yet. Of course, the hotel offers a rich array of 'Hanamandara Lifestyle' cultural activities, such as making Kongming Locks, incense ceremonies, and Baduanjin exercises (remember to book a day in advance!).
📍Breakfast is a buffet with both Chinese and Western options, incorporating some local Lanxi specialties. Compared to breakfast, the complimentary lunch was a bit underwhelming; the portions were small, and the taste was average. Nearby attractions like Zhuge Bagua Village, Youbu Ancient Town, and Jieziyuan all require a taxi ride (around 20-40 minutes).
📣Overall, the environment and facilities are fantastic 👍🏻, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The hotel service is also excellent; the front desk staff are very enthusiastic and quick to help with any issues. The restaurant staff, in particular, are proactive and provide attentive, thoughtful service. The pickled radishes made during the activity were especially delicious 😋, and they even gave us a parting gift before we left. Thank you!"
