Park Hyatt Changsha-Lilan

I booked a window seat at L'Arc-en-Cham two weeks in advance specifically for this Michelin-starred restaurant—and the 62nd-floor view certainly didn't disappoint. The winding Xiangjiang River embraced the city skyline, and as evening fell, the lights of Orange Isle gradually illuminated the space, creating a beautifully atmospheric ambiance. I had expected a Michelin-starred restaurant to feel aloof, but from the waiter gently calling my name upon entry to proactively asking if I wanted a more comfortable seat, the attention to detail was unpretentious yet incredibly thoughtful. The menu, devoid of flashy gimmicks, was filled with down-to-earth delights: the braised Hanshou turtle was incredibly flavorful, with the spiciness of the green chilies perfectly complementing the taste without overpowering it; the Dong'an chicken's tangy broth was rich and flavorful from slow simmering, and the chicken was so tender it practically fell off the bone; the biggest surprise was the handmade tofu pudding at the end, sprinkled with crunchy soybean crumbs—a comforting and heartwarming touch, a truly familiar taste of old Changsha. The open kitchen allows you to watch the chefs at work, and the occasional aroma of pork lard is incredibly soothing, breaking down stereotypes about "Michelin-starred restaurants." The pacing of the meal is perfect; you're not rushed, nor are you kept waiting too long. Each dish arrives at just the right moment, allowing you to chat with friends. This Michelin star doesn't win on plating alone, but on its respect for ingredients and its dedication to flavor—it combines the vibrant energy of Hunan cuisine with the delicate finesse of Cantonese cuisine, all complemented by a stunning view from above and attentive service. It truly deserves to be a staple on any Changsha dining list. #MichelinRestaurant #RomanticRestaurant #LaiLanRestaurant #ParkHyattChangsha

Our first date after filming ended was at the "Park Hyatt Changsha · Leilan Restaurant," perched high in the clouds. I was even more excited than when we first met in our little house—you can't imagine! 🥹 I was immediately struck by the hotel's stunning design. It wasn't the ostentatious, gold-plated luxury, but rather an artistic feel that subtly incorporated Hunan culture into the details. The lines were fluid, the colors both gentle and bold—it felt like stepping into a tasteful "home away from home." 🏡 Sitting on the 62nd floor of the restaurant, with the Xiang River and the city skyline visible through the window, and the sunset bringing in the soft orange-pink sky… at that moment, I truly felt: life is worth living!! 🍽️ Sharing some of our favorite dishes: 🔸Dong'an Fortune Chicken The chicken is "opened" precisely at 7:18 PM every night 🐓—the ritual is spot on! Wrapped in dough and slow-roasted for 2 hours, the chicken is incredibly tender and juicy. The sour soup is made with Dong'an rice vinegar, pickled peppers, and pickled ginger—a burst of flavor in every bite! 🔸Garlic and Spicy Stir-fried Baby Lobster The baby lobsters are deep-fried until golden and crispy, then stir-fried with hand-chopped garlic. The garlic aroma infuses the firm lobster meat—one bite is pure bliss! 🦞 🔸Stone Pot Roasted Pepper Tofu and Wagyu Beef A5 Wagyu beef + handmade tofu + a sauce made with Hunan green chili peppers—fragrant, spicy, and not overpowering. I could easily eat three bowls of rice with this! 🍚 From the ingredients to the service, everything is befitting of the Park Hyatt—truly the pinnacle of Hunan cuisine at the top of the mountain. ✨Tips: ▫️Reservations for window seats must be made at least 3 days in advance, as they are very popular during the golden sunset hours! ▫️Wearing light-colored clothing will make for better photos. #ChangshaFood #ChangshaTravelGuide #ChangshaMustVisit

It's almost early autumn, and I took my family on vacation to Changsha. We wanted to try some local specialties without having to wait in long lines, so we chose Lei Lan Restaurant on the L floor of the Park Hyatt Changsha. The whole family was delighted! As expected of a luxury hotel restaurant, I love the elegant design. Richly colored fabrics, murals, and artwork adorn the space, showcasing a sense of understated luxury. Dining at this cloud-top restaurant, with sweeping views of the bustling city, is truly a breathtaking experience. Lei Lan Restaurant, rooted in local ingredients, perfectly balances tradition and innovation, presenting a refined new Hunan cuisine. Start with a cup of ethereal golden osmanthus sparkling tea—it's time for a romantic autumn! Stir-fried Baby Green Dragon with Garlic and Chili This spicy baby green dragon dish is incredibly flavorful, with a savory and spicy flavor. The meat is firm and chewy, and the spicy flavor doesn't overshadow the baby green dragon's natural sweetness, but rather enhances it. The garlic aroma is like magic, lighting up your taste buds. The Hunan flavor meets seafood, bringing endless surprises! Perilla-Seared Geoduck This dish borrows from the Cantonese cooking method of blanching, preserving the geoduck's original flavor to the fullest, allowing its savory flavor to fully unfold on the tongue. The clam meat is tender and crisp, the broth is savory and sweet, and the addition of local perilla adds a fragrant, refreshing, and appetizing aroma. Dong'an Fortune Chicken Dong'an chicken, from Yongzhou, Hunan, is a hallmark of Hunan cuisine. The restaurant has creatively created a broth-searing method that exudes a sense of ritual. From cracking the skin to hand-shredding the chicken, and then pairing it with the sour broth, the meat is incredibly tender and the broth is incredibly flavorful! Hunan-Style Stir-fried Pork Belly Stir-fried yellow beef is a classic Hunan dish that goes well with rice. Here, we've upgraded it with beef belly, taking it to version 2.0! The essence of this dish lies in the fusion of "freshness" and "spicy." The beef is cut against the grain and marinated, then stir-fried over high heat until tender and chewy, coated in a fragrant and spicy sauce. The spiciness of the chili peppers blends seamlessly with the beef, creating a rich, layered flavor. Lard-stirred rice noodles In Hunan, eating rice noodles is a major event. This simple bowl of lard-stirred rice noodles, in particular, is a beloved favorite for many foodies. A simple spoonful of white lard and a spoonful of sauce, combined with the tender, smooth rice noodles, is simply delicious! After dinner, don't forget to admire the night view of Changsha from the window. The towering skyscrapers shimmer with dazzling starlight, while crimson leaves dance and golden waves shimmer. The light show is truly breathtaking! #HunanCooking #FoodFestival #ChangshaFood #ChangshaFoodExploration #ChangshaHotels
