Overlooking a lake and surrounded by rolling green tea fields, Fuchun Resort Hangzhou offers city dwellers a chance to get away from it all and surround themselves with nature. The resort is located in the village of Fuyang, a 45-minute drive from Hangzhou. There, you can participate in activities such as golfing on the resort’s 18-hole course, biking, hiking, calligraphy lessons, swimming, orange picking, and tai chi and yoga. Or simply relax on the restaurant’s terrace that overlooks the lake, sipping a cup of locally harvested longjing tea. (Little ones can stay busy in the kids’ playroom.)
After winding down, retreat into one of Fuchun Resort Hangzhou’s 28 rooms or 57 suites. They look out at either the garden or the lake, and windows open so you can let in the fresh countryside air. Rooms are furnished with simple, elegant dark wood pieces and are spacious, comfortable and homey.

Our Inspector's Highlights
• Fuchun Resort Hangzhou is designed like a traditional Song Dynasty structure.
• It was inspired by local artist Huang Gongwan’s 13th-century scroll painting A Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains, a traditional Chinese landscape whose images are accurately reflected in the hotel’s surroundings.
• The hotel’s design style is traditional Chinese with a contemporary spin and elements of Balinese design, but simple. Nothing is flashy here; in the lobby, dark wooden pillars gleam in the entryway, and colorful contemporary Chinese art from Taiwan hangs on the walls.
• The Hangzhou hotel is designed so that nearly all spaces have windows so you can enjoy the gorgeous natural surroundings — namely the rolling tea plantations and the lake.
• It’s tranquil and quiet; on a clear night, you’ll be able to see a sky full of stars.
