A Warm Escape in the Foggy City

Checking into Lily Designer Hotel on a misty afternoon, the river breeze along Nanbin Road was chilly, but the hotel offered a completely different warmth. Upon opening the door, retro wooden tones filled the view, complemented by soft warm lighting. The floor-to-ceiling windows faced the confluence of Chongqing's two rivers—by day, a hazy mountain city; by night, a glittering riverscape. The room, though compact, was comfortably arranged. The bed was irresistibly soft, and the air carried a faint botanical fragrance. Welcome fruits and bedtime sweet soup were delivered directly to the room. Lounging in the bathtub, as the fog outside gradually lifted, everything slowed down. Located in the bustling Changjiahui area yet tucked away from tourist crowds, it offered tranquility amid the city's energy. By day, stroll through Danzishi Old Street; by night, return for a hot bath and restful sleep. Named "Lily," it carries an independent and distinctive charm—like those free-spirited, smiling girls from memory. From the bathtub by the window, gazing at the river, I witnessed the moment when the two rivers and the city lit up. As a wanderer, I embraced the mist and starlight; As a collector, I treasured this tipsy riverside in my heart.
