🏨 When the guest rooms become art exhibits Opening the floor-to-ceiling windows of Sifang Autohome, the mist of Buddha's Hand Lake is spreading over the fir forest, and the 24 master buildings are like sculptures growing out of the mountains. The brass bathtub in the room faces the "Light Box" designed by Arata Isozaki. While taking a bath, you can watch the sunset dye the glass curtain wall amber, and you will suddenly become a part of the exhibition. 🌳 Walking circle magic gameplay ❶ "Sifang Art Museum" rampage mode Directly connect to Steven Holl's art museum from the hotel terrace! The spiral staircase looks like a giant white origami, and the rooftop terrace overlooks the entire Laoshan Mountain. There is a lawn concert on the first Saturday of every month. You can bring a bottle of ice bayberry juice and sit on the rooftop of the Sanhe House designed by Wang Shu to listen to jazz. It is so romantic that it is against the rules. ❷ "Foshu Lake Plank Road" oxygen breathing guide Enjoy the forest theater at 7 am! Look for Kengo Kuma’s bamboo house along the wooden boardwalk. There is a “blooming” fog forest installation hidden in the Metasequoia forest. Wear a white dress and take a photo of your running back, and the fog will automatically give you soft light. 🍜 Secret menu for carb lovers ❶ Must-try "Yuhua Stone Glutinous Rice Balls" at the hotel's "Black Pearl" restaurant Glutinous rice skin wrapped with lava duck egg yolk, served on real Yuhua Stone, remember to take a photo before scooping! ❷ Take a taxi and arrive at Pukou Railway Station in 10 minutes In the old alley next to the filming location of "Love in the Rain", you can enjoy 5 yuan/bowl of firewood wontons with duck fat sesame cakes. The old lady's coal briquette stove has been burning for 30 years. ❸ Midnight snack party rush "Bulao Village" The clay pot fish head soup is stewed with old mountain spring water, and freshly kneaded wild vegetable dumplings are added. Eating under the century-old ginkgo tree at the entrance of the village brings a fairy-like filter. 💡 Tips for advanced players ✔️ You can park your car at the hotel’s exclusive pier and kayak directly to the island in the middle of the lake ✔️ Wear non-slip shoes! The museum ramp is like an ice rink on rainy days ✔️ Bring mosquito repellent! Poisonous mosquitoes in the bamboo forest bite ankles ✔️ The art gallery opens at night every Friday, and the laser projection show is worth the price ✔️ The first round of free mini bar in the guest room, don't miss the sparkling water

I recommend this cup of Jasmine Nitrogen Coffee, a signature coffee of the hotel, highly recommended for coffee lovers to experience when entering the park or staying in the hotel, falling in love with this coffee. Nanjing's 'Proudly Selected', the unique design style attracts, come to the Expo Park to play, the first recommendation is this Proudly Selected. This hotel is really good for taking pictures, with a very obvious personality, the industrial style design is very popular in the past two years, people who love it love it, those who don't like it will also feel that it is not gorgeous enough, it catches the eye in design. The lobby is a fashionable and exquisite variety of elements style, the abandoned cement factory has a natural terrain and historical background, the designer finds inspiration at the original site, reshapes and transforms, retains the essence part, gives this abandoned cement factory new vitality and artistic sense. The hotel is a standout in the Expo Park, very distinctive, positioned for the young and individualized group, the first feeling of checking in is that the front desk staff are very fashionable, hospitable, and also made my Expo Park trip a better experience. Some old machines, machinery, heavy metals in the public area are well used, they are treasures. The room I stayed in is one of the most popular room types in the hotel, the Private Hot Spring Room, with a hot spring pool on the balcony, the area is 68 square meters, the room has a strong sense of fashion. The room's mini bar is free to use once on the first day of check-in, very rich in drinks and snacks, a rich welcome fruit plate is prepared on the table, all my favorite fruits, thank you very much for the hotel's thoughtful arrangement, making this experience even better. The privacy of the hot spring pool on the room balcony is general, of course, the feature of this room is the large hot spring pool on the balcony, friends who pay great attention to privacy may not like it, but this hot spring pool will add points to the experience, introducing the Tangshan hot spring into the room. The bed linen in the room I personally feel is not silky enough, the mattress is just right in softness and hardness, the quilt is very light, without a sense of heaviness. The bathroom is separated from the wet and dry, it's done very well, I like the black faucet and gold, they are very textured, I have to say that black is a classic match, the bath products used are the niche brand Australian Appelles, the scent is good, it belongs to the plant essential oil scent, the bathrobe fabric in the room is comfortable, soft, light, and feels good. The B1 floor's THE ALCOVE, the swimming pool design is really cute, it feels more like a hot spring pool, girls should like this style, the whole swimming pool space design has added a bit of romance in it. Breakfast is used in THE CAVE, which is a all-day dining restaurant, providing Western food, it's very nice to have breakfast on the outdoor terrace in the morning, with the warm sunshine, it's really cozy and comfortable, the quality of the hotel's breakfast is very high, it's semi-self-service a la carte, angel noodles, super recommended, the face value is also very high, this waffle is also delicious, the breakfast has a good face value and taste, of course it's Western style, it depends on personal preference. I highly recommend the Green Terrace Coffee Bar, with The Silo bar on the floor below the coffee bar. The Expo Park is super beautiful at dusk, this is the hotel I recommend the most in the Expo Park scenic area.

📍Location and transportation: It's located in an old forest in Pukou District⛰️, you can only take a taxi to the hotel haha. The hotel🏨 is very large and quiet, quite suitable for vacation😁 🛏️Room view: The front desk upgraded us to a corner building, except there is no bathtub🛁, the area is as large as a suite. The view by the window is very good, you can sit and drink tea during the day🍵. ⚠️tips: There are steps up and down in the hotel, it's inconvenient to carry a suitcase, the elevator🛗 can't go directly, and there is no concierge to help with luggage. The public sofa is very dirty, there are many stains on the carpet that are clearly visible...... 🏊Swimming pool: The swimming pool needs to take a shuttle bus to the left of the front desk, the gym is also there, it takes 15 minutes to walk, which is quite far. But the water quality of the swimming pool is very good, not many people. 💰Breakfast: 88 yuan/person ⏰Opening hours: 7:00-10:30 Compared with the same level of Marriott, Aotuge's breakfast category is not so much, but it wins in less but refined, basically there are not many mines. 🍜Noodles and wontons, and Nanjing's old duck vermicelli soup🥣 my boyfriend likes to eat. Rice wine dumplings are my favorite, fruits🍉 are also kept fresh in the refrigerator, there are fewer people eating breakfast, there is no situation where things are taken up haha.
