The Lalu Qingdao | A Poetic and Romantic Early Winter.

| A Poetic and Romantic Early Winter. As autumn turns to winter, time at The Lalu Qingdao naturally slows down and becomes gentle. The hotel is backed by Phoenix Mountain and surrounded by the sea on three sides. Its unique location is like a gentle caress from nature. Surrounded by the light and shadow of the hotel, you can see the vastness of the sea. The endless blue easily calms your mind. Designed by international architect Kerry Hill, the hotel is like an otherworldly object. The exterior is covered with copper mesh, which turns green over time and blends with the surrounding natural environment. It looks as if it grew from the mountains and sea, exuding a natural beauty. Each room faces the sea, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows let you wake up to the blue sea every morning. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, starting at 100 square meters. The soft amenities, elegant bath ceramics, warm walnut wood, and marble bathtub all make you feel relaxed. You can enjoy the same water quality as the Chaori Hot Spring on Green Island, Taiwan, without leaving Qingdao. In winter, you can soak in the hot spring by the sea, listen to the waves, and enjoy the warmth of the stone pool. It is a romantic way to resist the cold winter. The cultural charm of the hotel is embodied in the chimes, the Four Books and Five Classics, and the thread-bound Analects of Confucius. The pool at the entrance combines the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The three pine trees in the courtyard symbolize "one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things." At night, the candles are lit, and the hotel is full of poetry and stories. As a former residence of Chiang Kai-shek, the Shui Sha Lian Chinese Restaurant still offers exquisite dishes from Alishan, such as braised pork ribs, Taiwanese-style chicken, three-cup chicken, and braised pork rice. The history of Shandong and the romance of Taiwan are interpreted here. This winter, meet The Lalu Qingdao again and be moved by the unexpected sunrise, the lingering fragrance of hot spring tea, and the sound of the waves.
