A Luxurious Stay in the Heart of Mindu: The Ultimate Guide to Shangri-La Fuzhou

🏨Lobby: A Poetic Beginning of Mindu Culture Stepping into Shangri-La Fuzhou is like traveling through time. In the nine-meter-high space, crystal chandeliers cascade like a galaxy, complementing the Mindu lacquer art screens. The air is filled with the fragrance of jasmine tea. A concierge in a cheongsam offers welcome tea and hot towels, softly introducing the hotel's millennial view of Wushan and Yushan mountains. The aroma of Chinese and Western breakfasts from the open kitchen blends wonderfully with the elegance of the lobby lounge. Enjoy the freshly made Fuzhou-style "Good Fortune" snack for good luck, making even the wait for check-in poetic. 🛏️[City Viewpoint: Guest Rooms] We recommend the Deluxe Skyline Rooms on the 25th-26th floors! The 40㎡ space is filled with sunlight, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the silhouette of Fuzhou's "Three Mountains and Two Towers." Open the curtains to see Wuyi Square, where the daily sunrise flag-raising ceremony unfolds, the footsteps of the honor guard echoing in your ears. The bedside table is equipped with multi-functional charging cables, hair ties are available in the bathroom, the bathtub has a lumbar support, bathrobes are packed in bags, and there are five types of tea bags: jasmine, Biluochun, sweet-scented osmanthus, and English breakfast tea. Every detail is considered. 🏋️[Energy Recharge Station: Fitness Center] The fitness center on the 4th floor is a paradise for sports enthusiasts! The 25-meter heated swimming pool is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, making you feel like you're swimming through the city skyline. The fitness center, open from 06:30-23:30, is equipped with aerobic equipment, and running facing Wuyi Square is super exciting. After your workout, don't miss the steam room and sauna, and then soak in the jacuzzi to wash away your fatigue. The hotel also thoughtfully provides 2km and 5km "Blessed Fuzhou" jogging routes, allowing you to experience the breath of the old city along Wushan and Yushan mountains. 🍜[Mindu on the Tip of Your Tongue: Breakfast] The all-day dining restaurant in the lobby lounge is elegantly decorated. The high-ceiling design makes the entire space appear grand and open, blending modern and scenic elements. Start your day full of energy at the various live cooking stations! Enjoy freshly cooked Fuzhou-style fish balls with shrimp oil soup base, springy Rouyan (meat-filled wontons) with "skin as thin as paper, filling like feathers," and traditional desserts like taro paste and peanut soup. The smoked salmon and Eggs Benedict in the Western section are equally exquisite. Remember to pair them with a freshly ground coffee and watch the city awaken from the window. 🌆[Three Landmarks within Walking Distance] ✨-Prime Location: Adjacent to Wuyi Square, a 3-minute walk to Nanmendou Subway Station Exit N, 45 minutes directly to the airport, and close to historical landmarks such as Wushan, Yushan, and White Pagoda. ✨Wuyi Square: One of only two squares in the country with a daily flag-raising ceremony! At sunrise, the fire brigade honor guard marches in goose-step to escort the national flag, and when the national anthem plays, the mobile phone lights in the square twinkle like the Milky Way. ✨Three Lanes and Seven Alleys: A 10-minute walk from the hotel to the "living fossil of the Li and Fang system"! Touch the century-old litchi trees at the former residences of Lin Juemin and Bing Xin, listen to a Min Opera performance at the Yijin Lane Waterside Theater, and discover the most beautiful garden in Fuzhou at the Little Yellow Building in Huang Lane. Don't miss the Yonghe Fish Ball Shop, where the freshly made shark fish balls are so bouncy they could be used as ping pong balls! ✨Shangxiahang: After nightfall, the Santong Bridge is as brightly lit as the Milky Way! The melodious singing of Pingtan (storytelling and ballad singing in the Suzhou dialect) drifts from the old houses, and the intangible cultural heritage sugar painting stalls on the bluestone roads emit steam. We recommend ordering a pot of jasmine tea at the Shuxu Tea House and enjoying an immersive Mindu night feast. 📌[Travel Tips] 1️⃣ Must-try: The lobby features a Chen Jinggu culture exhibition and a fortune-telling interactive area. Room packages include free admission to the Yan Fu Calligraphy Museum in Three Lanes and Seven Alleys. 2️⃣ Hidden Gems: The lobby leads directly to the BaXi Hui Shopping Center. The 232 jasmine flower chandeliers in the L1 atrium symbolize the 232 old streets and alleys of Fuzhou. The sunken plaza features artist Wen Na's hand-painted mural "BaXi Gathering." The 5th-floor sky garden is the best spot for photos of the White Pagoda. "Ya Bao Paradise" is a great place to let kids burn off energy. 3️⃣ Gourmet Delights: Michelin-starred restaurant Jiang Nan Zao Rong Fu specializes in "Huaiyang-Min" fusion cuisine, helmed by two head chefs. Jiang Nan Zao Rong Xiao Guan offers Jiangnan home-style dishes in an elegant setting. "Stay at Shangri-La, open the window to a thousand-year-old Mindu, and step downstairs into the bustling city." This is perhaps the perfect way to experience Fuzhou!
