[2025 Hangzhou Stay] Travel Guide for ALOR VALLEY (Updated Mar)

The Xixi Shili Fangfei 5th Flower God Festival, themed "Traditional Reproduction, Poetic Dwelling," will be held from March 14 (Flower God's birthday) to June 5, 2025. The festival blends Song Dynasty aesthetics with Eastern philosophy, featuring "Four Rituals" and "Twelve Floral Events" to create an immersive spring experience. Ritual Inheritance: The opening ceremony centers around "Flower God Offerings," including the Guanlan Ritual (hand and heart cleansing) and the Cidu Ritual (releasing animals for blessings). Twelve Flower God attendants in Hanfu will present gifts, and the chief officiant will lead incense burning and music playing, embodying the concept of "symbiosis." Four Seasons Elegance: Daily experiences are designed according to the twelve two-hour periods of the traditional Chinese clock—releasing koi in the morning to awaken compassion, tying name tags to trees at noon to connect with the earth, adorning white peonies in the afternoon to recreate Tang and Song Dynasty makeup, and floating thousands of bamboo lanterns with wishes in the evening. Nine floral events are offered, including a spring banquet (seasonal flower dishes), spring clothing making (indigo-dyed Hanfu), and spring art crafting (pottery rubbing). Through intangible cultural heritage crafts, poetry, tea ceremonies, and farming readings, the festival aims to reconnect urban dwellers with the natural rhythm of life and interpret the "slow living" philosophy of Chinese aesthetics.

Xixi Wetland is especially charming in the early spring. Today, we are going to Shili Fangfei, a resort village that can only be reached by boat! See Xixi in a different way and experience a different mood. Take the hotel's exclusive Fangfei boat and sail on the creek. The green water and beautiful ripples will immediately captivate you! It feels like all the peace and quiet in the world is right here... Shili Fangfei Resort Village has poetic names for each themed island. Yanjia, Xunmeizhu, Shilizhou, Shilizhou North, Lihuawu... Almost every place here is surrounded by creeks and trees, and egrets live by the water, full of wildness! It's like the Peach Blossom Land described by Tao Yuanming. Today's happiness is to leave all the troubles of the world behind and become a villager in the most romantic village in Hangzhou for 24 hours! We went to Shilizhou. The two-story house by the water is clean and tidy, with underfloor heating. The living room has a tatami and a coffee table. It feels more like a friend's house than a hotel! The tea is osmanthus and Jiuqu Hongmei (black tea), which is warm and comforting! The mini bar has a variety of teas for free. The coffee cups are custom-made with a cartoon of the village's mascot cat. The hand-brewed coffee is named "Flower God." There is also a hand-brewed coffee pot, which I like. The bathroom is also full of details. There is a handmade cypress bathtub, POLA toiletries, a Dyson hair dryer, and a diffuser stone next to the electric toilet... Almost all the details you can think of are considered. Looking outside, who says there is no beautiful scenery in the rain! The clusters of plum blossoms in the courtyard are blooming proudly, standing on the branches, and exuding a faint fragrance in the misty winter of Jiangnan! The fragrance is faint but refreshing! You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan in front of and behind the house! The most comfortable thing is to sit in a warm room, look at the scenery in the courtyard, and drink tea and chat with friends! Of course, if you like to stroll, you can visit the village's Beautiful Things Manufacturing Bureau to see if there are any items you like; you can also go to the Flower God Cafe to enjoy a leisurely afternoon; if you like DIY, the Tao Dao Museum is a good choice! You can also go to the Flower God Temple to pray for love and happiness... Be a Fangfei villager for a day and feel full of happiness! Shili Fangfei's founder, Zhang Bei, is a native of Xixi Wetland Park, and Shili Fangfei is the village where she and her friends live. But the name "Shili Fangfei" not only expresses the ten miles of Fangfei in Xixi, but also hopes that the passionate vitality in everyone's heart will converge into a world of Fangfei! If you come to Hangzhou, you must visit this hidden paradise that can only be reached by boat. Come and experience it to see if it matches your imagination of a hidden paradise!

Whenever Hangzhou is mentioned, the emerald waves and cultural atmosphere of West Lake always come to mind first. However, if you limit yourself to West Lake, you will miss another precious tourist destination—Xixi Wetland. Hidden in the heart of this natural oxygen bar is a charming and mysterious resort—Shili Fangfei Resort Village. It lies quietly at the center of Xixi Wetland, taking a unique path that requires breaking the water by boat to enter. Design Stepping into the resort is like entering a tranquil place isolated from the world. Six distinctively styled villages are scattered throughout, each displaying its unique charm. Over a hundred rooms, simple and elegant, seem to transport you to the pastoral poetry of ancient times. The interior decoration is inspired by European pastoral style, with details that reveal a pursuit of quality living. Rooms The rooms are either built over water or have picturesque views from the windows. The scent of raw wood combined with the simplicity of Japanese style, along with tatami mats, coffee tables, and fresh flowers, creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere. From bedding to amenities, every item is carefully selected. There's no need to worry about the dampness near the lake or the cold in winter, as drying racks and underfloor heating are provided to ensure comfort. Dining The resort's cuisine is equally surprising. The village canteen starts the day with breakfast and also offers lunch and dinner. In addition, various dining venues such as Pomegranate House, Tofu Pudding House, Walking Onigiri, and Flower God Café offer hand-dripped coffee, desserts, drinks, and a variety of delicious Japanese rice balls and tofu pudding. Amenities Here, beautiful scenery is everywhere. Without stepping out of the resort, you can participate in activities such as shuttlecock making, baking experiences, and fan painting. In summer, swim in the open-air infinity pool, watch movies on the water at night, or make wishes at the Flower God Temple or the Wishing Pavilion.

April in the West Creek Wetland is just too comfortable for a spring outing... If you want to take a rowing boat, you should get on from the entrance of Zhoujia Village, and the latest time to board is before 4:45 PM. Take the 'Fangfei' express boat that runs every 20 minutes to go deep into West Creek, and in less than 10 minutes, you'll arrive at the dock near the restaurant. In the afternoon, you can drink tea or coffee, and in the evening, you can dine. The seasonal dish, oil-braised bamboo shoots, suits my taste today, and it's excellent with alcohol. There's also steamed perch, freshly caught and still lively. The original price for a meal for four is 💰1508r, but now it's only 💰518r, a 3.5 discount including tickets and boat fare. In the misty waterside homes, one hears the Wu dialect, and amidst the blooming plums, one gazes towards the fragrant isles.

🛶 I revisited the 'Hangzhou Xixi Ten Li Fangfei Theme Resort Village' which can only be reached by boat in the 'Xixi National Wetland Park'. I stayed here directly this time, and I couldn't help but exclaim at this beautiful scene: wetlands, ecology, villages, dazzling goods, flowers and trees, small bridges and flowing water, cruise boats shuttling... The exquisite beauty of Hangzhou is fully displayed here🌲🌲🌲 🛶 Xixi Ten Li Fangfei is located in a corner of Xixi National Wetland Park. Staying here allows you to visit Xixi Wetland for free and unlimited times. So guests can leisurely enjoy the day and night, dawn and dusk, crowded and deserted scenes of Xixi Wetland, fully embodying the poetic charm of 'Stay in Xixi'😁😁😁 🛶 Xixi National Wetland Park is super super large, because you have to walk, it is almost impossible to visit all of it, even if you stay here for several nights. Since you are staying at Xixi Ten Li Fangfei, you might as well fully experience the charm of this village. There are many activities for guests to experience here, such as children's playground, love shrine, pottery experience, meditation, outdoor swimming pool side open-air movie watching, fragrance essential oil specialty and other homemade products for purchase, afternoon tea and SPA, etc. Some are free and some are paid. It is recommended to stay for three days and two nights, one day to bask in the sun and daze in the original ecological wetland, and one day to participate in various activities in the village, so that you can fully experience the brilliance of Ten Li Fangfei🎇🎇🎇 🛶 Xixi Ten Li Fangfei does not have a gym like traditional hotels, but it has an outdoor swimming pool, but it can only be played in the water in the hot summer. The garden room I stayed in with my family is close to the first pier and restaurant. The floor heating in the guest room is very effective, all drinks in the mini bar are free, and all bath products are brand-name large bottles. The welcome milk tea and fresh meat moon cakes are all homemade. If guests want to buy, they can contact the housekeeper at any time to purchase🛍🛍🛍 🛶 My goodness, the restaurant here is so busy at meal times. I stayed here on a Saturday, and there was no seat until seven o'clock in the evening. We ordered all the signature dishes of the restaurant. Although the taste of the 'big dishes' is very good, the stir-fried vegetables are the most memorable for us. It turns out that all the vegetables used in the dishes here are grown in the village and are freshly picked and cooked. The breakfast the next day was also very good, with many types of food and high nutritional value. The 'signature osmanthus lotus root powder' is available for DIY, and the noodles from the noodle stall are really unique🥇🥇🥇 🛶 No. 518 Tianmushan Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou City, from 1500 yuan per room night💰💰💰

From the love at first sight many years ago to the frequent miss now, the fragrance of tea and hidden fragrance of ten miles of Fangfei always attracts me! The Fangfei village house where I stayed has a fence garden courtyard in the front and a wetland scenery in the back. The Jiangnan loft residential building design, from time to time, boats bring more people who like it. The comfortable and spacious tatami on the first floor, whether sitting and drinking osmanthus nine-curve red plum tea, reading books and looking at the scenery outside the window, or simply lying flat here, how comfortable it is, Alexander's modern city people need more Quiet down and relax yourself.
