These two #ShanghaiBesties have taken summer holiday by storm! As soon as school finished we were ready for our travels. We headed to Hangzhou for a quick but lovely trip! A trip for two royal queens.
Hotel: Lyvcheng Taohuayuan Huanglong Resort Hotel
Phone Number: +86-571-88768833
Location: Hangzhou, Zhejiang China (City: Hanghou / Province: Zhejiang)
This hotel recently opened three years ago is about a hour from Hangzhou city center. My #ShanghaiBestie and I took the high speed train from Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station to Hangzhou East Railway Station and it about a total of two hours from Shanghai to our hotel in Hangzhou! We looked through a list of unique hotels in Shanghai and the surrounding cities and this one stuck. I saw it and I had to stay here. I am so glad that I did. We booked on http://www.trip.com – easy!





Everything about this hotel was beautiful. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was a Chinese style buffet breakfast. It wasn’t busy and full of people which made it a lovely stay. What topped it all off was a fabulous photo shoot! I’ll share some pictures below!
The staff was kind and helpful. Their English skills were okay for communication purposes, but we survived with our minimal Chinese skills and our translation apps on our phones. There is a mall about 15 minute taxi ride from the hotel which you could check out and if you want to make the hour trip into the city there is lots to do in Hangzhou city!

*I choose ADVENTURE*
This Royal Weekend in Hangzhou was the start of my summer holiday and the perfect way to start it! I still have about 5-ish more weeks and I plan on enjoying them all! Happy Summer 🙂 Stay hydrated and make some memories if you can.
