[2025 Hangzhou Restaurant] Travel Guide for Xi Yin (Updated May)

One of the most memorable experiences during my trip to Hangzhou was the luxury hotel "Muh Shoou Xixi Hotel," which sits quietly in the Xixi Wetlands. At the restaurant "Xi Yin" inside the hotel, I was able to leisurely enjoy the delicate flavors unique to Hangzhou. A special dining experience in a sophisticated space The interior of the restaurant has a very quiet and calm atmosphere. Outside the large windows, greenery spreads out, and the food served in a space that harmonizes with nature is exceptional. The staff were also polite, so I was able to order with confidence even with the language barrier. Recommended Hangzhou-style fried rice and pork dishes For this meal, I had fragrant Hangzhou-style fried rice and a soft, stewed pork dish. The fried rice looked beautiful, had a slight sweetness in its crispy texture, and was impressively seasoned using local ingredients. The pork dish had an exquisite sweet and spicy sauce and was so soft that it melted in my mouth. Both dishes had an elegant taste, and I was able to fully enjoy the charm of Hangzhou cuisine. With the tranquility of the Xixi Wetlands The appeal of dining at Xi Yin is not only the food but also the location. The entire hotel is designed to blend into nature, and we recommend taking a leisurely stroll through the Xixi Wetlands after your meal. My time at Xi Yin, where Hangzhou tradition and sophistication come together, became an unforgettable memory during my trip. #HangzhouGourmet #HangzhouCuisine #XixiWetlands #MuhShoouXixiHotel #HangzhouTrip #ChineseGourmet #FineRestaurant #HangzhouFriedRice #PorkDishes #XiYin #LetsGoToChina

Every foodie has their own taste of autumn. For some, it's hairy crabs, for others, it's osmanthus. My autumn is hidden in the persimmon feast at Moshou Xixi! 🍶From wine to dishes, everything is about persimmons 🍂🌳The autumn wind is slightly cool, and the persimmon trees in Xixi Wetland are quietly turning red. Hidden in a corner of Xixi, Moshou Xixi has 66 native persimmon trees, and the park is full of seasonal poems about growth, harvest, and sharing. The name "Moshou" is also a mystery, referring to the last fruit left on the tree by the farmer, implying sharing and gratitude with nature. Moshou Xixi innovatively interprets the first persimmon soul into dishes, and now it is version 6.0. The chef is not limited to tradition, and uses the pulp, leaves, and branches of persimmons in the dishes, and also uses persimmons to make wine and vinegar. The entire persimmon feast tells the story of autumn: 🍷Drunken persimmons with a strong taste of wine 🌶️Sweet and spicy pickled crispy persimmons 🍖Unique persimmon fruit wood roasted lamb chops What surprised me the most was this 🐟"Persimmon Vinegar Xixi Fish". Inspired by the famous Hangzhou dish West Lake Vinegar Fish, it is made with persimmons in the park to make persimmon vinegar. The fruity and sweet and sour persimmon vinegar is soaked in tender fish, and every bite is the taste of autumn! 🍮Dessert "Good Persimmon Happens" Dessert is the finishing touch! The chef uses molecular cooking techniques to break and recombine persimmons, and the soft persimmon mud also hides the sweetness of peanuts. One bite, as if tasting the whole autumn~ 💖Autumn, should be eaten like this! From 9.23 to 10.31, the persimmon feast at Moshou Xixi is waiting for you to check in! Whether it's a world of two or a gathering of friends, you can enjoy this autumn feast. After eating this persimmon feast, my autumn officially begins!
