Fuchun Resort

While most city dwellers tend to escape to the shore, Shanghai natives head inland to the beauty, rest and rejuvenation offered at the Fuchun Resort. The property, set amidst a hillside tea plantation in the lake district of Fuyang near Hangzhou, was inspired by a 13th-century painting by Huang Gongwang. A striking twopiece scroll, it depicts the same landscapes into which today’s resort blends so seamlessly. Serenity is also found within, at the renowned spa that offers sessions of Himalayan yoga. Active travelers will gravitate to the signature 18-hole Golf Club, a masterpiece course sculpted from the tea-covered hills. For all guests, a cup of the resort’s signature Mingqian Longjing tea enjoyed, in the amphitheatre at sunset, is an experience not to be missed.
