One Lake, One Island, One Courtyard—The Pinnacle of Chinese Luxury Resorts!

When it comes to the "pinnacle" of Chinese luxury resorts, **The Chedi** unquestionably takes the crown! Each property is nestled in stunning, lesser-known gems across the country, ensuring you never miss the beauty of all four seasons. Most who visit The Chedi Qiandao Lake fall in love—myself included. Even as someone who craves novelty, I’d happily stay for a week (if my wallet allowed) to soak in the mountains, waters, winds, and rains. A 2.5-hour journey from Hangzhou may not be short, but the scenic route makes it worthwhile. Tucked away by "China’s Most Beautiful Lake," this luxury resort is a flawless embodiment of a dreamy paradise. Eighty-three villas stand amidst lush greenery, their black-and-white facades lining the lake, evoking the misty charm of a watertown. ✅ **Lakeside Poetry Amidst Mountains & Waters** —Step into Wu Guanzhong’s "Ink-Wash Jiangnan" Days are radiant, nights profound—the harmony between landscape and architecture is unforgettable. Symmetrical trees, minimalist black-tiled white walls, and reflections in tranquil pools create a living painting. The Chedi’s design team is world-class. Just one introduction and you’ll remember **Jaya Ibrahim**, who oversaw site selection and master planning, and **Nicholas Fung (Feng Zhijun)**, the architectural lead. The former, a legendary interior designer, crafted masterpieces like Amanfayun, Aman at Summer Palace, and The PuLi Shanghai. The latter, a Malaysian luminary, redefined luxury with Ahn Luh Zhujiajiao. Born with a silver spoon, The Chedi blends Jiangnan’s freehand landscapes with Hui-style architecture’s white walls and black tiles, uniquely gracing Qiandao Lake. Simple strokes merge traditional roofs with rolling hills, achieving a harmonious, modern symmetry. ✅ **Mountains & Waters in Perfect Harmony** —Private Yacht to the Romantic Heart Island Gaze at stars, savor sunsets, and embrace nature’s beauty beyond the city. As lights glow, the scenery transforms, balancing nature and luxury effortlessly. Hop on a private yacht to Heart Island—a 3-minute ride across the lake unveils breathtaking mountain vistas. The island’s heart-shaped lawn is perfect for weddings or soirées, ideal for a heartfelt confession. Indulge in spa treatments or tea ceremonies in a three-courtyard complex. Eight lakeside spa rooms include two treehouse suites accessible via suspension bridges. Unwind with a lakeside SPA, where therapists rejuvenate your senses. Rainy days turn the view into a living ink-wash painting. The indoor heated pool, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, merges seamlessly with the lake. ✅ **132 Acres, 83 Private Villas** —Lakeside Retreats, 80m²+ with Unique Views Villas line the shuttle route, each starting at 80m². Hui-style white walls, black tiles, and horse-head gables blend with minimalist Chinese gardens—every stroll reveals new beauty. Interiors by **HBA’s Connie Puar** exude understated luxury. Raise the bamboo blinds, and your terrace unveils lakes, forests, and peaks—a living landscape from every angle. Bring the elegance of Hui courtyards and private lake views indoors. Outside, dusk paints the waters and distant hills; inside, soft lights illuminate your lavish retreat. Embrace your perfect getaway~
