XI XI XI LAI DENG

The lobby bar of Xixi Sheraton Hotel is a little different from other hotels. Although it is also called the lobby bar, it is not located in the lobby. Instead, it is located on the other side of the lobby through the corridors on the left and right sides and through the courtyard. So it is relatively quieter. Moreover, the lobby bar is very large. It is really luxurious. Not only does it have resident singers, but there is also a courtyard at the back facing the Xixi Wetland. It rained every day during the two days I was there. It is truly worthy of the name "Yanyu Jiangnan". But it is also a different feeling.

The snacks at Sheraton are very delicious. The food on board is rich. They also provide free Hanfu costumes. The staff are very enthusiastic and the elderly have a lot of fun. It happened to be a rainy day, and the boat ride in the rain is even more interesting.

Experience tells me that the local dishes in local hotels and Chinese restaurants are very good, such as the pine mushroom chicken soup and butter tea at Shangri-La Songzan, the four small dishes at Dunhuang Villa, the double skin milk and beef balls at Chimelong Hotel, and of course the Dongpo pork at West Lake State Guesthouse last year. This time I chose the Heyuexuan at Sheraton, which is relatively cost-effective. The taste was highly praised by the whole family, and the service fee was worth it. The tofu was great, and there were two kinds of fried rice. This one with soy sauce was more delicious. My grandfather ordered it, but I don’t know the name. The shrimp and eel noodles were much better than those at Kuiyuanguan back then. The jujube paste cake was sweet and delicious, but I forgot to take a picture of the Dongpo pork.

It is very convenient to make an appointment. You can also wear Hanfu to take pictures on the boat, sit on the boat, drink tea, eat snacks and look at the scenery. Occasionally, a group of ducks swim by. It is so comfortable.

The service is super good. I enjoyed my stay and meals here.
