What's it like to stay inside a West Lake painting?

Hangzhou West Lake State Guesthouse is located at the heart of West Lake, nestled against mountains and facing the water. Spanning 360,000 square meters with over 2,000 meters of private lakeshore, it's hailed as "the West Lake within West Lake." Guests can admire the "Spring Dawn at Su Causeway" up close, gaze at the "Leifeng Pagoda in Evening Glow" from afar, and easily walk to attractions like "Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor" and "Breeze-ruffled Lotus at Quyuan Garden." 📜 Historical Legacy: Originally private gardens like Liu Zhuang and Kang Zhuang, it boasts profound historical significance as the site where major events unfolded, including the drafting of New China's first Constitution and the "Sino-US Joint Communiqué." It has also hosted numerous Chinese and foreign leaders. 🌳 Garden Landscapes: Redesigned by master landscape architect Dai Nianci, the courtyards feature exquisite architecture with pavilions, bridges, winding corridors, bamboo groves, ancient trees, and unique rocks arranged harmoniously—every step reveals a scene straight out of a Jiangnan watercolor painting. 🥢 Culinary Excellence: Home to the famed "Zhejiang's Premier Dining Hall" floating restaurant and various private rooms and banquet halls. The Ziwei Restaurant, consistently ranked among "China's TOP 50," serves state banquet-standard dishes like West Lake Vinegar Fish, Braised Pork, and Matsutake Rice. 🏘 Accommodations: Offers over 170 rooms across seven villa-style buildings, including presidential suites. Rooms maximize lake and garden views, equipped with smart environmental monitoring systems, custom mattresses, Nespresso machines, and Bulgari amenities.
