🏨 Hoshino Resorts KAI Tiantai 📍 No.1-10 Lianhua Road, Jiyun Village, Shiliang Town, Tiantai County, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province (Within Greentown Lianhua Town) If you're a hotel enthusiast, the name "Hoshino" must ring a bell! From the dreamy TOMAMU Resort in Hokkaido to the luxurious HOSHINOYA, every property under Hoshino Resorts leaves an unforgettable impression. Hoshino has always emphasized harmony with local culture and natural surroundings, blending richness without overpowering, always revering nature without stealing its spotlight. Nestled at an elevation of 800 meters in the misty clouds of Tiantai Mountain, Hoshino Resorts KAI Tiantai is surrounded by lush forests, flowing streams, and an aura of tranquility, creating a pure sanctuary. 🌸 Zen-Inspired Spaces, Scenery at Every Turn ︎ The Chinese courtyard design infuses Zen philosophy into every corner, with lotus motifs throughout—from the lobby to the guest rooms, every detail reflects a pursuit of Eastern aesthetics. ︎ Symmetrical architecture exudes classical elegance, where interplay of light and shadow reveals the subtle beauty of Japanese "yūgen." 🛌 Zen Guest Rooms: Dreaming Amidst Clouds With 103 rooms designed around the concept of "purifying the six senses," weary minds and bodies find complete release. Inside, rustic Chinese furnishings and warm lighting create a cozy, serene ambiance. The locally crafted ramie loungewear, inspired by monk robes from Guoqing Temple, offers a sense of transcendence. 🍽️ Zen on the Palate: A Fusion of Japanese and Chinese Cuisine From the exquisite six-dish appetizer to the signature osmanthus-roasted duck, each dish honors ingredients while tantalizing taste buds. The vegetarian set, in particular, is not just delicious but a spiritual cleanse, evoking reverence and gratitude for nature. 🧘‍♀️ Zen Activities: Harmony of Body and Mind The hotel offers unique experiences blending nature and culture: ︎ Mindful Baduanjin (Eight-Section Brocade) and Zen meditation to relax and harmonize through breath. ︎ A heated pool and gym with minimalist design for leisurely workouts. ︎ An open book lounge for those seeking a mental retreat. 🏞️ Nearby Explorations: Buddhist and Taoist Origins ︎ Guoqing Temple (28-min drive): A secluded millennium-old temple, solemn yet vibrant with incense. ︎ Tongbai Palace (22-min drive): The ancestral home of Southern Taoism, rich in history and culture. ︎ Tiantai Mountain Grand Waterfall (16-min drive): A 325-meter cascade, hailed as "China's Tallest Waterfall." 🌟 At Hoshino Resorts KAI Tiantai, I rediscovered long-lost peace.
