First Impression: The "Fisherman's Evening Song" Hidden in Qianhai
The first time I approached this hotel, I was captivated by the water courtyard at the entrance. It’s not the kind of flashy luxury, but more like stepping into an ink painting—I heard the design inspiration comes from the "Fisherman's Evening Song." The amber chandelier in the lobby really resembles the fishing lights at dusk. When checking in, the front desk lady handed me a warm cup of osmanthus tea with two longans at the bottom. That sweet and mellow taste still lingers in my memory.
Room: A Morning "Kidnapped" by 270° Floor-to-Ceiling Windows
I booked a bay view room, and the moment I opened the door, the curtains slowly drew back automatically—the morning light of Qianhai Bay poured in directly. The "fishing net" woven accent wall behind the bed feels rough to the touch, but when lit, the shadows cast on the wall look like shimmering waves. What touched me most was the bathroom, with a double sink design and Byredo amenities. The bathtub faces the floor-to-ceiling window. That night I soaked for half an hour, watching the lights across the bay turn on one by one, leaving my phone in the bedroom, not wanting to reply to anyone’s messages.
Wellness: "Floating" in the Sky Pool Watching Planes
The hotel’s pool is on a high floor, with water so clear you can see every pattern on the pool bottom. I usually go in the evening, swim a few laps, then lie by the poolside to enjoy the view—planes often fly low over Qianhai, small and slow, like watching a silent film. The gym is well-equipped, but I prefer the yoga room, where the floor-to-ceiling mirrors frame the city skyline like a flowing painting. When stretching, it feels like my whole body is being lengthened.
Surroundings: Another Side of Shenzhen Within Walking Distance
The hotel is located in Qianhai Guiwan, a 10-minute walk to Qianhai Stone Park, where the large lawn is perfect for watching sunsets. If you want to shop, MixC Qianhai is right next door, but I recommend taking a 10-minute taxi to Sea World to ride the 128-meter-high Ferris wheel "Bay Area Light." When the cabin reaches the top, the entire Qianhai Bay is beneath your feet. To experience old Shenzhen, take two subway stops to Nantou Ancient City, with its cobblestone streets and old-brand dessert shops—a completely different world from the hotel’s modern vibe.
Those Little Moments That Melted My Heart
On the morning of my checkout, I met a cleaning lady in the elevator who smiled and said, "It’s getting colder today, make sure to wear your coat." The concierge in the lobby remembered I had been to Stone Park and proactively checked the sunset time for me. Also, the late-night porridge delivered by room service had a note saying, "Less sugar according to your dining habits last night"—these small acts of warmth make me want to come back more than any hardware.
Some Practical Tips
I recommend going early for breakfast; window seats are very popular. If you’re here for a vacation vibe, try to book a bay view room, as city view rooms have a less impressive view. There are quite a few construction sites nearby, so there might be some noise during the day, but it doesn’t affect the high-floor rooms much. Also, be sure to save an evening for the pool—the feeling of floating alone high above the city is truly healing.
