Reverse travel | Stay in a mountain temple and enjoy a private hot spring

|Stay into a mountain temple and enjoy a private bath. If, I stayed in a Hangzhou temple and took a dip in my own hot spring private bath, would it make you a bit astonished? Just on Tianzhu Road in Hangzhou, this temple building hidden in the mountains and Zen has been redesigned into LE HOUSE, an eight-room boutique hotel. Pushing open that wooden door with signs of age, you feel an indescribable tranquility and warmth – ancient white-walled green tiles and modern delicate design collide here, intertwining in a conversation about time. The surprise for me here is hidden in every detail of it. And the most healing moment is nothing more than dipping in the exclusive private soup in the room, watching the swaying shadows of the trees and the mist between the mountains outside the window. The warm water enveloped your body, and the air contained only the sound of wind among the bamboo forests and the bells of temples in the distance. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and you started a conversation with your inner self. The design of the room further continues this quietness: the simplicity and weight of the furnishings imported from Denmark and Italy, the healing melodies brought by the acoustics fill the space, and Aesop’s toiletries make everyday cleaning a pleasure. Every inch here is a reminder that fine living never needs too much decoration, that warmth is what life is all about. While people were flocking to popular attractions like West Lake and Lingyin Temple, I opted to “reverse travel”, avoiding the hustle and bustle and heading to the undisturbed mountains and forests. At LE HOUSE, you can walk into the Zhongtianzhu Fajing Zen Temple in the most comfortable way, attend a morning morning class, and feel the Zen and the flow of time. Or, stroll along the mountain road, listen to the wind blowing through the bamboo forest, and watch the sky light dance among the shadows of the trees. LE HOUSE isn’t a “stay one night and leave” hotel, it’s more of a place that makes you stop and revisit life. Every inch of space here is whispering about quality and temperature, every breakfast, every private soup, every early morning bell, is quietly healing your heart. In the New Year, you might as well start from here, throw away the daily hustle and bustle and stress, and give yourself a reunion with the inner warmth. 📌 Tips: 🏷The room has an exclusive private soup, remember to turn off the lights while soaking at night and enjoy the starlight and warm water vapor surround; 🏷If you want to experience Zen Temple Morning Class, contact the hotel before 16:00 on the day of arrival to make a reservation; 🏷West Lake Scenic Area is not far away, choose early morning or dusk departure, you will find a different "less people West Lake".
