“Paradise on earth”

There’s a Chinese saying that goes: “There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.” Surely whoever said that must have laid their eyes on West Lake. Add to that the Four Seasons way of adding that little something to the destination, and you’ll soon too be waxing lyrical about this little slice of paradise. Choose to arrive by a traditional wooden rowboat and let the lake be the one to make an entrance – straight to your heart and soul.

Your 45-minute boat ride gives you a unique vantage point on West Lake’s fabled beauty, which captivated poets, emperors and explorers for centuries. One of eastern China’s natural jewels, the 650-hectare (1,600-acre) lake is surrounded by a lush green shoreline, with views of majestic mountains, ancient temples, traditional pagodas and graceful bridges. Relax and sip premium Hangzhou Longjing tea, acclaimed worldwide for its quality and taste, and sample gourmet delicacies prepared by a Four Seasons chef. By the time you reach the Hotel, you’ll already feel right at home."

"Some of China’s most important national cultural treasures reside in the Gushan Hill area, an ideal place to enjoy the natural beauty of West Lake. Meander through the inner lake in a traditional wooden boat or tour the seal engraving museum, and then try your hand at the traditional art of seal carving, where you can create your very own stone seal with a Master Engraver from the Xiling Seal Engraver’s Society."
