During my spring trip to southern China, I came to Xinchang County in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. Here, spring seems to tell a story everywhere you look. My destination was the Great Buddha Temple Cultural Tourism Area, and the place I chose to stay was Fan Yin Manor, hidden in the mountains. This hotel not only made me feel at home, but also brought me many surprises. 🌸 Check-in experience: Walking into Fan Yin Manor is like entering a tranquil world. The hotel is located inside the Great Buddha Temple Scenic Area, in a quiet environment away from the hustle and bustle. As soon as I entered the lobby, I felt the warm welcome from the staff. From the check-in procedures to the luggage handling, every step was meticulous and thoughtful. What's even more thoughtful is the small gift given upon check-in—sweet potato chips and Xiaojingsheng peanuts, which are sweet but not greasy, making people feel the warmth of home. 🚗 Convenient transportation: Fan Yin Manor is in an extremely advantageous location, not only in the center of the Great Buddha Temple Scenic Area, but also very convenient for traveling to all corners of Xinchang or returning to Shengzhou Xinchang High-speed Railway Station from the hotel. In particular, the hotel provides a free round-trip electric car service, which ensures that travelers can travel without worry, rain or shine. This thoughtful service is impressive. 🌿 Room design: The room design combines Chinese courtyard style with Zen culture, and every detail reveals the owner's intentions. The intelligent facilities in the room, such as the smart toilet and adjustable lighting, not only enhance the comfort of living, but also make people feel the perfect combination of modern technology and traditional culture. Sitting on the grand master's chair in the room, sipping a cup of fragrant tea, and looking out at the natural scenery outside the window, time seems to stand still at that moment. 🍴 Culinary experience: The hotel's restaurant is also worth a try. Whether it is the rich selection of breakfast or the exquisite dishes for dinner, every dish is unforgettable. I especially recommend the steamed sea bass, which is delicious and served with homemade sauce. It is simply a feast for the taste buds. In addition, the waiters are very friendly, making people feel at home. If you plan to visit the Great Buddha Temple Cultural Tourism Area, you may want to consider staying at Fan Yin Manor. Here, you can not only enjoy a comfortable stay, but also deeply experience the local cultural charm. Whether you are looking for peace of mind or exploring the beauty of nature, this will be a valuable stop on your journey.

#2024mapped Although places like Japan and South Korea have exploded in popularity this year, China as a travel destination remains criminally underrated. Having not been back since 2019, I was looking forward to seeing what had changed and what had stayed the same. While most people think of Shanghai or Beijing, I got to see a more quiet side of China, venturing up the mountains to temples and glass bridges. As this was a solo trip, I really appreciated the simplicity of Trip.con when it came to booking experiences and accommodation, as they had the cheapest prices among all websites and the prices were similar if not exactly the same to what a local would pay. Trip.com also made transportation incredibly convenient with the ability to book train and bus tickets to take you out of the city, making it simpler than ever to get an authentic experience.

The hotel is located within the Xinchang Dafo Temple scenic area, situated at the Buddha Heart Square, backed by the Qiguang Jingyuan, facing the Dafo Temple, and occupies the core position of the Dafo Temple scenic area. Here, the Buddha's light shines universally, and the natural vegetation forms a natural barrier, making the hotel a secluded realm away from the hustle and bustle, a natural place for healing. It is a 2-hour drive from Hangzhou and Wenzhou, and about a 3-hour drive from Shanghai and Jiangsu. Design The hotel's design involves designers from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, perfectly combining Chinese style with Zen culture. The park adopts a classic garden design, blending Chinese elegance and Zen culture, creating a tranquil and secluded retreat. Entering the lobby, a huge lotus lamp stands in the center, and the fragrance of green tea permeates the entire space, allowing one to relax both visually and mentally. Rooms The hotel has a total of 43 guest rooms, mainly in an antique Chinese style, with various landscape and Buddhist elements integrated. The rooms are equipped with high-end Simmons mattresses, Kohler sanitary ware, and branded toiletries, and offer personal butler service. The rooms are stocked with drip coffee and Xinchang's special Dafo Longjing tea, making guests feel the hotel's sincerity and attentiveness. All of this makes the journey of self-cultivation more comfortable and enjoyable. Amenities The hotel's public areas focus on Zen practice, offering activities such as Zen tea ceremony, outdoor yoga, and indoor Zen meditation. The facilities are of star-level quality, including a restaurant, meditation room, tea room, and meeting room, all readily available. In terms of dining, the hotel is committed to creating a state banquet-level gourmet vegetarian feast, with exquisite dishes that retain their original flavors, allowing guests to taste the food while also experiencing the spiritual realm of unity with Zen food.

Last week, I took my kids to Xinchang, a small treasure town in Shaoxing. The Big Buddha Temple is definitely an underrated niche attraction, much more fun than Qixia Mountain During the Spring Festival, there are also market lantern festivals and New Year activities, which are very suitable for family outings ✅I searched a lot of guides and finally found that there is a hotel inside. Is there any better guide to visit than staying inside? The Big Buddha Temple is very big. I strongly recommend staying inside and playing slowly. 🏨Hotel: Xinchang Dafo Temple Fanyin Hotel ✨The hotel is located in the center of the scenic area, not far from anywhere, and free admission to the park ✨Report your license plate in advance so that your car can drive directly into the Big Buddha Temple scenic area ✨The location is great, we can see the Buddhist wall through the room window ✨The hotel service is also quite good, the overall experience is great In addition, Wozhou Road and Nanjie Carbon Kingdom, which are must-visit places in Xinchang, are not far from the Big Buddha Temple. Living in Fanyin is too convenient. Family travel refuses to check in with special forces. Come to the Big Buddha Temple for a walk in the New Year, a healing journey😌
