DAIAO RESORT

Ninety minutes south of the city lies another dimension of time—— Here, morning bells rouse the mountains and forests, flowing clouds brush past the eaves. The silhouettes of thousand-year-old pine trees grow beside the conference table; in the gym, sweat shines alongside morning dew, and the blue waves of the pool embrace the reflection of the entire mountain. Lefuqiang·Dai'ao Mountain Residence captures the four seasons of a mountain within its 33 rooms, reinventing the contemporary ideal of seclusion with Eastern aesthetics. As the neon lights fade and the mountain gate gently opens, a bamboo-woven windlamp glows for those returning home: the so-called Peach Blossom Land is simply life lived as poetry.
