Time seemed to slip by quickly during our stay at Dongshan Grand View—the second half of our three-day, two-night trip felt like soaking in the gentle Jiangnan breeze, a moment of relaxation and healing.
At 1 p.m., we headed to the Dongshan Yue Kiln Celadon Museum for a rendezvous with ancient charm. The thousand-year-old craftsmanship of the Yue Kiln flowed through the light and shadows. There were no crowds, only a tranquil conversation with history, a moment that slowed even my breath.
At 2 p.m., a midsummer afternoon tea for two awaited at Atelier Yatang. The ocean-themed dessert, when it arrived, felt like a slice of azure water woven into the porcelain plate—the smoothness of the cream, the sweetness of the fruit, and the aroma of tea melting on the tongue. For 258 yuan, this exquisite treat was a romantic moment for two.
At 6 p.m., the pleasure boat slowly sailed into Dongshan Lake. The setting sun paints the lake a golden crimson, and the breeze carries the gentle warmth of water vapor. During the voyage, there's no need to speak, just watch the light and shadows swirling across the boat's side. I'm enveloped in a warm glow, as if transported to the Jiangnan region depicted in ancient paintings.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the lively atmosphere of Shan Chinese Restaurant is at its most captivating.
The sweet aroma of honey-glazed local pork, the richness of decade-old Huadiao drunken shrimp, the tenderness of steamed free-range chicken, and the freshness of swimming crab—every bite is an authentic Shaoxing flavor, leaving you feeling both satisfied and content.
At nine o'clock on the morning of the third day, I woke up again to breakfast at Hui Western Restaurant. Fresh fruit 🍑🍏, warm toast, and the lake view outside the window—simple yet comforting.
At eleven o'clock, I brewed a pot of fine local tea in my room, its fragrance wafting through. Watching the tea leaves unfurl in the water, sunlight filtering through the window onto the tea table—this is how I feel about stealing a half-day of leisure.
At noon, let's take to the skies with our drone and camera.
From the air, we'll gaze upon the Dongshan Grand View estate, its lake, and its lush greenery. Every frame looks like a meticulously composed movie still. The moment I post it on social media, I'm bombarded with requests for its address.
Only when I left did I realize the beauty of Dongshan Grand View: it's not just the scenery, but also the relaxing feeling that makes you want to slow down and live every moment like poetry. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the perfect place.
