[2024 Chun'an Stay] Travel Guide for AHN LAN QIANDAOHU (Updated Dec)
Incomparable, stars holding the moon, Qiandao Lake Anlu
Qiandao Lake is a nationally renowned holiday resort with numerous hotels and a plethora of domestic and international high-end brands. However, the most expensive and high-end hotel in Qiandao Lake is not in the main city area, but on a lakeside peninsula near Wenyuan Lion City in the northwest direction more than 40 kilometers away from the main city.
Anlu occupies the corners of two peninsulas, where the guest rooms are located on the larger peninsula that looks like the Westeros continent when viewed from the air. The rooms are made up of villas, with a yard on one side planted with bamboo or red maple leaves, a large bed inside the house leaning against a large window, long bamboo outside the window, and the green color is full when the sunlight comes through. The large balcony on the other side is close to the lake, facing the sunrise and the starry night sky.
The best hotel I have ever stayed in is probably the Niji No Ya in Japan. Now I feel that here is very similar to there, full of regional customs. The other side of the guest room is a SPA and an infinity pool. The pool is like a pearl inlaid between the mountains and rivers, and it is very photogenic. Of course, you can also take the hotel's yacht to the private heart-shaped island under the hotel's jurisdiction for photos.
Anlu is not like those bustling resorts, it is quiet and comfortable here, lying quietly is the best choice.

Summer by the lake
I love this place and hotel. The environment is just perfect for a long weekend or a shorter vacation. You have a divine swimming pool (indoor and outdoor), great spa, various water sport options or if you just fancy a walk you can walk for hours along the Thousand Island lake❣

I went to Qiandao Lake just for this window...
Qiandao Lake is so beautiful on a sunny day!!!
The lake is as blue as the sea 🥰
The hotel is a Hui-style garden building 🏯,
Facing Qiandao Lake and away from the hustle and bustle of the world,
Surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers,
The courtyard is shallow, and the light and shadow are beautiful!
The hotel lobby is full of elements of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, and tea, and you can easily immerse yourself in the elegance of literati.
The lake view from the room is like a painting 🏞
I really don't want to go out after staying in the hotel for a day 😭😭

I fell in love with Qiandao Lake countless times. It's a warm winter in an ink painting.
I've been to Qiandao Lake many times and seen her different looks in four seasons. I still fall in love with her again when I arrive.
Don't rush to the island to take a boat trip when you arrive at Qiandao Lake. Staycation is the best way to spend your holiday.
For a weekend, I drove to Anlan Qiandao Lake and had a rare good mood when I drove on the Qiandao Lake Bridge.
You can see the landscape painting from the guest room. The mountains and rivers overlap, and the islands in the water are connected. In winter, the yellow leaves decorate the picture. It's a realistic ink painting.
The Christmas decorations are ready, and you can spend a warm holiday in December. Many handicraft experiences are available, such as incense making, candle making, and fan making in the tea house. There is also a special woodworking workshop for parents and children. You can make a colorful postcard by stamping the "Colorful Rubbing" that reproduces the overall appearance of the hotel!
You can eat "Qiandao Lake Fish Head" in the lake view all-day restaurant. The warm thick soup makes your taste and body comfortable.
From morning to night, you can relax and be fulfilled. The shuttle bus can take you to every corner of the hotel. If you want to ride around the lake, you can also borrow a bicycle at the front desk.
The beautiful waters can swallow anxiety and dispel worries.
——————
I also went to the nearby scenic spot, "Qinchuan Ancient Village" in Langchuan Township. The Hui-style architecture and the clouds and mist in the mountains form ink paintings, and the ancient atmosphere in the village makes you feel relaxed when you stroll around for an afternoon.

The hotel is perfect for zoning out
Qiandaohu Anlan adheres to the luxury hotel style
The address is impeccably private and beautiful, located in Jiangjia of Wenyuan Ancient City, Chun'an County, which is the old town of Chun'an facing the first-line lake view.
Lying in bed, opening your eyes to the lake view, with the chirping of birds and fresh air, it feels like being in a paradise, the best place to space out. The Chinese restaurant offers exquisite and tasty dishes, dinner is great, every dish is delicious, and the SPA environment and services are top-notch
An amazing hotel, with a private courtyard and great scenery, it's a pity that it's the dry season and the water level in the lake has dropped a bit. The hotel is filled with beautiful plants and flowers, and it's quite comfortable to just walk around. The rooms are very spacious with comprehensive facilities, and you can enjoy unlimited Nongfu Spring water. If you have enough time, you can go for a swim, which should also be quite nice

Recharge your weary soul with a 3-day retreat at Qiandao Lake
Jiangnan is delightful, with landscapes well-known to those who have visited before. The sunrise over the river makes the flowers more crimson than flames, and with spring, the river turns as green as blue - how can one not reminisce about Jiangnan!

Qiandao Lake Anlan, a new Chinese-style exemplar in the south of the Yangtze River
Benevolent people love water, and the Qiandao Lake area is vast. If you are looking for a tranquil place away from the urban area, Qiandao Lake Anlan is definitely one of the best choices.
Anlan Hotel is hidden on the other side of the lake, about 15 kilometers from the Chun'an county town, a 35-minute journey, near the Shicheng Wenyuan scenic area. The hotel's location is thoughtfully chosen, requiring a walk down a path to reach the parking lot, instantly offering the experience of a grand estate. The hotel's service starts right from the parking lot, with assistance in handling luggage and accompanying guests through the check-in process.
The hotel as a whole adopts the architectural style of the Hui school from the Jiangnan region, with white walls and black tiles arranged in an orderly fashion. The interior decoration features a new Chinese style with a solid wood base, complemented by large floor-to-ceiling windows that allow the lake view to fill your vision at any time. The hotel places a strong emphasis on the privacy of guests; the guest room area is completely isolated from the public areas, and it is rare to encounter other guests while strolling in the guest room area, making it especially suitable for those who appreciate tranquility.

Qiandao Lake Anlu Hotel | Hidden between mountains and waters
🪶'The lake is beautiful, with thousands of islands inlaid with pearls.' Just as the contemporary poet Wu Wuwen wrote in 'Remembering Jiangnan Qiandao Lake Miscellaneous Songs Four', under the sun, Qiandao Lake is as gorgeous as a clamp with thousands of pearls. The destination of this trip is the Qiandao Lake Anlu Hotel built by the lake. The architectural design here is inspired by Mr. Wu Guanzhong's ink and wash Jiangnan painting, with white walls and black tiles, black long and short double-slope roofs, and black curved eaves to close the head. Against the white wall, it is like the freehand black hook line in Chinese ink painting.
🪨Among the green trees, the buildings are clearly black and white, standing by the lake, a vast expanse of misty water village. All the buildings in the hotel are built facing the lake, and the floor-to-ceiling windows of the entire wall create a beautiful experience of sitting indoors and connecting with the sky and water at zero distance. The architectural design is led by Mr. Nicholas Fung (Feng Zhijun), a famous Malaysian designer, and Ms. Connie Puar of HBA Hotel Joint Design Co., Ltd. presided over the interior design of Qiandao Lake Anlu. Here, elements of Qiandao Lake's bamboo forests, tea gardens, and fishermen's lives are interspersed in the interior design, presenting a low-key luxury, harmony and modernity through courtyards and landscapes into the elegant and quiet interior space. Stepping into the lobby, the entire floor-to-ceiling glass faces the tranquil crystal lake, the elegant and comfortable seats are comfortable, and the vibrant courtyard and the vast colors of the water village are all in sight.
🥢The hotel has a lakeside all-day restaurant, the restaurant has 166 indoor and outdoor dining seats and 4 private rooms, elegant design style, full of Chinese style, outdoor facing the garden and lake view, blowing in the day, enjoying the moon at night, are good choices. The delicacies in the restaurant are mainly local special flavors and health dishes, among which the Qiandao Lake fish head feast is a must. The fish head in the thick soup is salty and fragrant with a hint of sweetness, the fish meat has no fishy smell at all, and it is memorable.
🌸When walking nearby, the garden paved with green grass flows quietly, and the flowers of different seasons stretch their colorful waists next to them: cherry in spring, osmanthus in autumn, plum in winter, accompanied by constant bird calls, clear waters, ink bamboo, and clouds shuttle in the gap...

Each Anlu is located in a unique secluded place, and Thousand Island Lake Anlu is even more unique, occupying three islands in the southwestern lake area where 'peaks form islands and flat land rolls waves', inviting Aman's designer JAYA to personally create a world that is independent and timeless.
The design of Thousand Island Lake Anlu is inspired by Mr. Wu Guanzhong's freehand ink painting, with the white walls and black tiles of Huizhou style as the keynote, cleverly using the water surface and glass to reflect the vast color of the water town. The simple and smooth lines of the lobby, the exquisite welcoming pine bonsai, and the freehand lines of the black eaves and the reflection in the water come into view. Entering the lobby, a whole floor-to-ceiling window along the lake presents the beautiful scenery of 'a river of green waves around three towns, the sky and clouds are as beautiful as a painting', which is Chinese style but not lacking in modernity.
⛰Lake Heart Main Island: Sitting and lying in the idle window overlooking the mountains and rivers, the indoor secluded residence becomes a fairy
The Lake Heart Main Island with magnificent lake views is naturally the core villa area of Anlu, with sparkling waves reflecting green trees and bamboo and the clear-cut ancient Huizhou architecture. 'There is water in the building, and there is a house in the pool', walking into the guest room, the large frameless glass window design presents the private lake view of 'the river flows outside the world, and the mountain color is in the middle of nowhere'.
Anlu's aesthetics are always online, the room design is symmetrical and balanced, with comfortable and appropriate low-key colors, just right to blend Chinese style and modernity. The Jiangnan courtyard is good at 'framing the scene', and every small window in the room has been carefully designed to frame a natural landscape painting. Walking into the bathroom, the Guerlain products with the scent of herbs are a surprise, the oval large bathtub, coupled with the secluded location of the room, you can bathe in the freshness of nature without leaving the room, and slowly enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Jiangnan water town🛀.
🧘🏻♀Anlu West Island: The mountains and clear shadows reflect the green lake, and the leisurely realm is safe
The small island on the west side of the main island is an excellent place to watch the clouds and lakes and stretch your body and mind. Come to the main building area on the mountainside, you can learn the rhythm of strength and softness under the guidance of a professional teacher, and feel the harmony of body and soul. After playing Tai Chi, walk over a secluded wooden suspension bridge to reach Anlu's tree house single-person SPA. Do a therapy on the secluded shore of the mountain and lake, the tired muscles are smoothed, the skin exudes a fragrance, and the heart also stretches out with the body in a mountain and water.
It's a pity that it's late autumn now, and the outdoor temperature is relatively low, so I can't experience the outdoor infinity pool🏊. But fortunately, Anlu also has an indoor constant temperature swimming pool with a 180° full lake view, facing the green lake, wandering in it, as if blending with the mountains and water.
💚Heart-shaped Island: The green shadow in the heart of the lake stands upright
The last small island is the heart-shaped island for Anlu customers to enjoy privately, and you need to take a yacht to get there. The lawn on the island is shaped like a 'heart', like a pearl embedded in the lake and mountains. Here, you can participate in archery, sketching Chinese painting, animal feeding, succulent garden planting, camping and other activities with your friends and family, or you can participate in the water sightseeing experience arranged by the hotel, shuttling through the landscape painting.
The lake and mountains reflect the greenery, and the delicious food is leisurely
Although Anlu is far away from the bustling central lake area, I am not worried about finding food: Anlu's lake-view all-day restaurant takes care of my three meals a day, especially the signature dish of Thousand Island Lake, fish head soup🐟, the soup is milky white, the fish meat is delicate, and there is no earthy smell, it is so fresh that it drops eyebrows. In the Lake View Food Gallery, you can accompany the book fragrance, watch the breeze wrinkle the lake surface, and cook tea around the stove. If you are too lazy to go out, the hotel also provides villa floating afternoon tea and private pool barbecue...
