Hangzhou Xixi Investment & Development Co., Ltd.: An International Tourism Complex Rooted in the Cultural Heritage of Xixi Waterways

Unlike the picturesque beauty of West Lake, Xixi Wetland—famous for its “a winding stream, a wisp of mist”—is vast and sparsely populated, far from the hustle and bustle, making it an excellent choice for a quick urban getaway.

During the Spring Festival mini-holiday, the 20,000 plum trees in Xixi Wetland—featuring varieties such as Jiangmei, Gongfen, and Lü’e Mei—will enter their peak viewing season. Here, you can not only savor the rich festive atmosphere of the New Year but also enjoy the leisurely pleasure of cruising along the winding waterways aboard a traditional oar-powered boat in search of plum blossoms. If you’re looking to experience Xixi Wetland up close and explore Hangzhou’s many famous attractions, Xixi Paradise is undoubtedly the best choice.

During the pandemic, Xixi Paradise partnered with five hotels in the park to launch city micro-vacation packages tailored to local and self‑drive travelers. By integrating room offerings with dining, tourism, and leisure services, the initiative highlighted Xixi Paradise’s prime location as well as the unique advantages of its hotels—low density, low floor heights, spacious interiors, and expansive balconies. The packages achieved strong sales performance on platforms such as Ctrip and Zhike Tong, effectively offsetting the decline in room bookings caused by inter‑provincial travel restrictions.

Hangzhou Xixi Yuerongzhuang, once named one of the World’s Best Resorts by HA+D, is undoubtedly one of the finest hotels for experiencing the breathtaking beauty of Jiangnan. The hotel’s pavilions, terraces, and elegant buildings, with their white walls and grey tiles, exquisite furnishings, and dazzling embroidery, perfectly blend Eastern classical aesthetics with modern minimalist design. Each standalone villa features its own private courtyard, and all room types are no smaller than 120 square meters, boasting expansive viewing platforms. The Chinese-inspired furniture and décor, lifelike Chinese paintings, comfortable king-size beds, and oversized, deep soaking tubs by the window—all combine to create an atmosphere that truly captivates the heart.

In the afternoon, take a rowboat and enjoy an afternoon tea while cruising through the Xixi Wetlands within the hotel’s grounds. Immerse yourself in this serene setting and feel as though you’ve been transported back to Lin’an, savoring the rich romantic ambiance and vibrant natural surroundings. The Huguangge All-Day Dining Restaurant offers Western and Asian cuisine throughout the day. The hotel lobby bar, “Jiuxian Bar,” serves a variety of teas and light snacks. The Baiyun Chinese Restaurant specializes in authentic Hangzhou and Cantonese cuisine—and you can also indulge in a lakeside afternoon tea here, soaking up moments of pure relaxation.

The Sheraton Hangzhou Hotel is located next to the northern entrance of Xixi Paradise. Its Chinese architectural style is seamlessly integrated into the wetland forest, so much so that one can easily overlook the hotel itself—after all, nature is the true master of this realm. With delicate bridges spanning tranquil streams and lush greenery stretching in every direction, the picturesque beauty of Jiangnan is hidden within these tiled roofs and blue bricks, a sight too stunning to fully capture.

When you think of Xixi, you might picture the quaint water-town charm of Jiangnan, with its little bridges and flowing streams. But hidden away here is a “library” where you can actually stay overnight. The Lijing Xixuan Hotel at Hangzhou Xixi Paradise spans three floors, with the lobby serving as its very own library—earning it the nickname “a hotel inside a bookstore.” With its expansive views and warm wood tones, the hotel creates an elegant, artistic atmosphere. It has served as a filming location for episodes of “Running Man” and “Liu Li,” making it the perfect spot for literary and artistic young people to snap photos and check in.

In your free time, grab a cup of coffee at iLOVE Café, snuggle up on the sofa with your loved one to watch a movie, or head to an art exhibition and embark on a fascinating journey through performance art. The hotel also features a fitness center, a spa pool, and a banquet hall, making it a comprehensive hotel that seamlessly integrates accommodation, dining, banqueting, and entertainment. The hotel boasts 68 guest rooms, each spacious and elegantly appointed, with plush bedding and L’Occitane’s Verbena line of bath amenities. You can freely adjust the TV angle to your liking, while the oversized balcony offers breathtaking views of nature.

It is worth mentioning the West Courtyard Hotel’s signature “West Creek Red Mansion Feast,” which distills 180 dishes from the classic novel “Dream of the Red Chamber” into this exquisite culinary experience. The ambiance of 300 years ago comes alive on your palate.

The air is fresh and the environment is beautiful—this is also a great place to enjoy a spa treatment. Here, you won’t hear a single bit of noise, offering you a 100-point sensory experience for your sight, smell, touch, and hearing.
