Long dusk or morning?
we are unidentified time
air around you,
like a tree,
Fall silently or sing to the wind:
I like that you are still.
For a long time, Brilliant has always focused on creating harmony between man and nature, and coordination between architecture and the environment. The fusion of "Oriental exquisite life aesthetics" and natural beauty created by Brilliant is extremely outstanding in all Brilliant hotel series. embodiment.
Whether it is Jingmai Brilliant Hotel, Kunming Brilliant Hotel, or Chongqing Brilliant Hotel, it is all like this. Huangguoshu Bolian Hotel has brought more textures of escape from the world but not to the outside world in this system. From the hustle and bustle to the tranquility, from the scenery to the courtyard, the sense of proportion between them is particularly prominent, creating the ultimate "harmony between man and nature" the taste of.
Over the past 20 years, Bolian Hotel has attracted countless fans.
And me, of course, is no exception.
01 First Acquaintance
Huangguoshu Bolian Hotel is located in Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area, just one step away from the waterfall.
We entered here at dusk in the early autumn of August.
The green hills are in the eyes, accompanied by clouds and mist.
It doesn't take much time to get off the highway. The car drove into the main road of Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area and the hustle and bustle of people, passing through some muddy country roads and chickens, ducks, cats and dogs strolling on the road, the sky after the rain was covered with a layer of blurred crimson by the sunset glow that floated over.
After turning the last corner, Huangguoshu Bailian Hotel appeared in front of us.
It stands there quietly and steadily, with a joyful loneliness.
02 enchantment
Compared with the Huangguoshu Scenic Area, which has 35,000 tourists a day, the Bolian Hotel, which is one step away from the Great Waterfall, has no "fireworks". When it comes out, it comes with background music, which makes life full of tension. The ax-cut cliffs are its background, and the magnificent waterfall is its accompaniment.
The hotel lies in the thousands of mountains and rivers in Guanling, blending with the surrounding beauty, but also just the right distance. In front of you is the world of mortals, and behind you there are thousands of rivers and mountains, so you can enjoy the fun of mountains and rivers without the hardship of trekking.
At 7:30 in the evening, vehicles of all sizes kept whizzing by the side of the road, and the sound of motors was still noisy, but the Huangguoshu Bailian Hotel was full of gloom and cicadas, revealing the leisure and ease of a calm temperament, as if in an enchantment, No matter how much restlessness there is, it has nothing to do with it, it is so calm and elegant in silence.
It seems that its only pyrotechnic gas is only going around in the Pu'er tea, which is extraordinarily charming under the simple appearance.
It is one with nature.
03 layout
The hotel is composed of seventeen villas, and each villa is cleverly placed in the best places of the garden. Forests, waterfalls, valleys, streams, strange rocks, pavilions, pavilions... A piece of landscape, as if growing there.
The white clouds treat each other, and the green mountains love each other.
The scenery surrounded by mountains and peaks around the lake is the original scenery of Huangguoshu Bailian Hotel. The pure sense of symbiosis between architecture and nature is so strong.
No sound, very quiet scenery.
Terunobu Fujimori, a Japanese architect and architectural historian, said that human imagination cannot surpass landscapes. Before architects consciously think about what architecture is, those imaginable landscapes have been deeply engraved deep in their bodies. The overall layout of Huangguoshu Bailian Hotel is almost a perfect portrayal of this sentence.
Many architects are constantly trying to express another "nature" in their works. In recent years, many hotels and B&Bs have copied a large number of new Chinese styles in which the space is constructed by logs and huge glass. But if the architect doesn't have that kind of heavy and quiet feeling in his body, it is very difficult to imitate Bolian.
In traditional Chinese aesthetics, this concept is similar to "making a garden", the "garden" of Suzhou gardens.
Surrounded by mountains, every step of the way is a view. Mountains have veins, water has sources, and the veins are connected. The whole garden is vivid—the designer of Huangguoshu Bolian Hotel has made the whole garden "the garden is beautiful with scenery, The scenery is different because of the garden”, and its professionalism and understanding of traditional culture and local culture are admirable.
The blessing of art endows architecture with soul and connotation.
The good architecture that grows in nature is like this, let us be deeply in it, but don't know that nature ends there, and art begins there.
Yes, a good building coexists with nature and can speak.
04 Lobby
The hotel lobby uses a lot of teak as construction and decoration materials.
The axially symmetrical design is very grand, with teak as the base, the ground is polished volcanic stone, the furniture is made of precious wenge wood, screens, couches, bonsai, ornaments, etc. are all available.
Every detail has been carefully treated by the designer.
The whole building is enclosed and ingeniously formed a huge "Four Waters Returning to the Hall", like a Chinese puzzle. The enclosure gives Chinese-style buildings a centripetal force—when it is sunny, sunlight pours into the front of the hall from the "patio", like "sprinkling gold"; when it rains, rainwater falls into the "patio" from all sides, like "flowing silver". It means that water gathers in the heart of heaven, and that man and nature are one.
Simplified brackets, without the complexity of wearing and tearing; the corridor on the first floor is deep, and the screen wall is also simple and inspiring, and the reflection in the water makes the picture come alive.
Since it is a new Chinese style, the designer has adjusted many elements based on the pursuit of comfort, especially in terms of lighting. The lobby of Huangguoshu Bailian Hotel uses a large piece of huge floor-to-ceiling glass, which makes the beautiful Chinese classical charm condensed from childhood. The minor key becomes atmospheric and warm.
When entering through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the indoors and the outdoors are integrated. In the layers of time folds and interlacing of light and shadow, it carries "aesthetics" and "art", and accepts all changes in the natural texture. We seem to see logs The thickness is gradually deconstructed.
Of course, the residents may have to spend two days to get familiar with the buildings here - it covers an area of 190,000 square meters, with a construction area of only 19,000 square meters and a plot ratio of only 0.1.
Even the continuous rain in winter will only add to the artistic conception.
I have been to several Brilliant Brilliant restaurants, and the one in Chongqing has been repeatedly visited, no matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter, it is always accompanied by light rain.
And I live in seclusion in the light rain and the world of mortals, where there is a lot of tranquility and joy.
05 room
There are many paths leading to the room we live in. After checking in, we started to explore here, and every time there are extra surprises - we don't know which world a small door will lead to in the same building.
I live in the upper suite of a two-story villa, which seems to be a house growing out of the mountainside, with steps facing the front. If it is in Japan or Taiwan, this kind of residence that needs to climb upstairs will make me have extra expectations.
Walking along the winding path leading to the corridor, swiping the room card lightly, and pushing the door to enter, I really felt a great surprise.
The transparent space is designed to facilitate the absorption of the surrounding scenery, and the places with glass are full of scenery.
Outside the pavilion, the shadows of flowers move on the wall, and the peaks and mountains are the windows. It's really true: seeing its fragments, not showing the whole shape, there are paintings outside the picture, thousands of miles away, with endless aftertaste.
From this point alone, we can feel the designer's thoughtful deliberation on the creation of the scenery. After all, the pruning of a tree and the movement of rocks all affect the composition of the scenery.
The interior is still interpreting modern Chinese design aesthetics, presenting a low-key and luxurious atmosphere. The plain tones of teak flooring and nanmu furniture constitute the tangible modern minimalist style in the room, creating a living atmosphere with a strong sense of travel.
The room is adhering to the formed message of Brilliance: not catering, not ostentatious, not forceful, not aggressive, leaving a more relaxed state; more tolerant, more open, more interesting, becoming a private place waiting for "confidantes" to open the door and enter .
Exquisite tea sets and capsule coffee machines fit the homely atmosphere of the hotel, rich in details, delicate and exquisite, and the best handicrafts are used in various materials, and the artworks embellishing them add luster to them.
At this moment, perception is gradually softened in this infinitely perfect space, becoming extremely soft. Just like the negatives being developed in the darkroom, it not only develops all the real beauty of details, but also retains the original tension and landscape.
06 living
The more inconspicuous small objects are, the more they can reflect the quality of a hotel.
Many of the designs and details of the Huangguoshu Bolian Hotel are not the custom-made luxury displayed on the table.
The bedding is the same as that of the Burj Al Arab; the SPA supplies are from the British AA (Aromatherapy Associates), a uniquely formulated product from the Yarongma Aromatherapy Home, plus the care methods of the Bolian SPA, which truly interprets the essential oils in improving the body, mind and soul. The miraculous effect in the process of happiness is highly praised... The small objects in the room are all custom-made: carambola-shaped vases, trash cans, tissue boxes, and toothbrush sets imitating rhino horns are all custom-made .
The most famous Pu'er tea of Bolian is also placed in the guest room, all selected from the high-quality court series; in the mini bar, Anshun specialty prickly pear juice, beer, Coke and Evian are all provided for free.
It's a great place for a vacation, or for those who like to keep a low key.
More and more people fall in love with going here to hide from the world, and at the same time, there are many companies holding boutique small and medium-sized meetings here that require a quiet space, truly achieving the luxury, privacy and relaxation of a small resort hotel.
There are terrace soup houses on the balcony of the room, which is extremely private. In the evening, the butler will light candles, put hot spring water in place, sprinkle flower petals, wait for you to go home and connect to Bluetooth, and soak in the natural spring water to watch the stars in the perfect sound brought by BOSE audio.
At night, the bright moon is beautiful, there are occasional fireflies flying, the wind blows through the forest, and the fallen leaves are whirling. The denseness of the forest... The picture is too beautiful, I dare not write it down, I just want to soak here forever, surrounded by the hot spring of the bird mountain stream in the top of the forest.
A night without dreams.
07 Tea tasting
Bolian Pu'er has raised the tea-drinking lifestyle of Chinese people to a spiritual and artistic level. Its Pu'er tea has always been well-known in the rivers and lakes, and the beauty of the space of the tea tasting hall in the Huangguoshu Bolian Hotel is also commendable.
Everyone who enters the tea tasting hall for the first time will be attracted by its simple and harmonious layout. From the large space pattern to the small utensils and ornaments, you can feel the ingenuity of the designer.
The comfortable feeling of bright and clean windows has an aura that instantly relaxes the body and mind.
People who work in the hotel have quiet smiles on their faces, and they are very well-measured.
The entire hotel consists of more than 200 species of plants and trees, forming a beautiful scene of continuous blooming in four seasons. All the plants used as scenery in the hotel are made from nearby materials, with the artistic conception of dry landscape.
The embellishment and decoration are also unique, and they are all local materials from the mountains and rivers of Huangguoshu.
A small rocky mountain may have been scoured by the Huangguoshu River for a hundred years; a tea branch brought the tea garden into the house;
The slightly rusty Buddha lamp seems to still have a thousand-year-old incense smell;
The dead branches in the bottle are all facing the same direction. Tell us: the direction of the wind that year.
Language is never the only way to communicate. In this towering green shade, every big tree uses its own way to be a devout listener, which is also the best communication.
Tranquil yet open, out of this world but also into the world.
From the past to the present, the beauty of the details of the life itself is perceived at this moment.
A cup of Bolian Pu'er can drink up the wind and frost of the millennium.
08 hot spring
I firmly believe that silence has a voice, and the time in Bolian is vague and unidentified.
This point has been verified in the hot spring of Huangguoshu Bailian Hotel.
In the valley with 28,000 negative oxygen ions per square centimeter, we bathe in springs to keep in good health, listen to waterfalls and watch the moon, and feel the morning glow, rising sun, rain and fog, night rain and day sunshine in the mountains.
The hot spring area is in the garden. Surrounded by mountains, the three stacks of clear water formed around the karst landform, combined with the historical culture and landform features of Guizhou and the natural landscape of Huangguoshu Scenic Area, and at the same time following the indifferent and secluded style of Bailian freehand brushwork, 26 with their own characteristics, taken from 1800 The underground natural hot spring pools are distributed in the valley among the flowers according to the slope.
The winding path leads to seclusion, as if you are in a paradise.
Fragrant springs, bubble springs, whirlpool springs, volcanic and geothermal fumigation...combining the spirituality and essence of nature, what is more considerate is that the hot spring water outlet is on the top, which will not burn you.
The mountains and forests roar, when the wind and rain break the silence, sink yourself into the bubble pool, look up at the stars as dense as the Ganges sand grains, what you smell in your nose is the air that is rich in the fragrance of soil and plants, and every pore Opened up, wanting to exchange with this dense night fog.
Come late and be quiet.
09 Silver SPA
Bolian SPA, which has a history of many years, follows the ancient Chinese natural health preservation rules, absorbs the meridians of traditional Chinese medicine, integrates regional elements, and combines natural hot springs to provide people with exclusive techniques. It is the leader and vane of the Chinese SPA industry. Each is different.
Huangguoshu Bailian is famous for its "Silver SPA".
It is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that silver has health care effects such as calming the five internal organs, calming the mind, relieving panic and palpitations, and eliminating evil spirits.
Silver SPA uses the unique aura of silver ions to mix the most suitable aromatic essential oils according to the physique of the guests, and cooperates with the special silver scraping utensils to dredge the meridians, expel illness, and soothe the body and mind.
At this moment, the sound of Zen is lingering, all I need to do is to hand myself over to the SPA master, and let go of my defenses while she is kneading from time to time.
Waiting for rebirth.
10 Masquerade
If you want, in the evening or late at night, jogging or walking along the path, passing the garden, will have an extra feeling.
Those narrow roads, seats under the shade of flowers and towering old trees are incompatible with the compact and narrow reinforced concrete urban structure we live in, but this is an effective way to avoid crowds and "hide" in the bustling world ——Instinctive escape from the world is always a bright and elegant skirt.
In the evening after afternoon tea, I usually go to the gym and go for a run.
Running is a lonely thing, but I never tire of it.
In theory, anyone who knows Bolian can hide it and keep his secrets if he doesn't want to be found. This space is like a small bubble floating in Yunmengze reserved for myself.
We enjoy everything about Bolian to our heart's content, but we can hide in the world inside the bubbles at any time and touch our own background color and body temperature.
Such ingenious balance and reservation also constitute the most charming part of Bolian.
It is impossible for me to stay here forever, but even if I stay away from the world for a short time, I can find my place in such a "hidden garden" and be able to do a little bit of ease between the past and the present. It is a very happy thing .
The thing that brought tears to my eyes the most was that the 11 little witches who followed me all over half of China and the countries sung in "Curry Curry" loved it so much. After entering the room and putting down the luggage, she said to me: "Stepmother, among all the hotels I have stayed in, I like Bolian the most. The design and materials here make me feel really beautiful" (the stepmother is a nickname).
Speaking these words from the mouth of an 8-year-old girl, I suddenly feel that everything that has been thrown at her in these years is too valuable-beauty, there is a resonance!
Well, everything is the way I like it.
