It's said that the British a century ago firmly believed that savoring afternoon tea could make everything beautiful. Now sitting in this urban oasis of Hangzhou, I feel as if I've taken a seat in the Windsor gardens on the outskirts of London🍃 Using beautiful porcelain to play tea leaf divination with friends🔮 The air carries soft conversations and the gentle clinking of cutlery, while floral tea aromas swirl in my cup... The Hangzhou Wulin State Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, has collaborated with Aynsley, the 250-year-old British royal porcelain brand, to create a "Windsor Garden" where you can sit and linger. From teacups to flavors, every detail captures the glow and poetry of early summer. At 2 PM, sunlight pours through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the lobby lounge, spilling onto porcelain plates like rays dancing across English countryside meadows. The afternoon tea set features Aynsley's Windsor collection bone china🫖 Roses, butterflies, quaint cottages, and meadows—these poetic English elements are preserved in the lustrous porcelain. More than just vessels, they mark the beginning of an elegant lifestyle narrative. Lychee rose, peach-infused Earl Grey, cream puffs with loquat jam... each bite feels like a gentle afternoon breeze in the garden, fresh and tender. The conversation between langoustine and Wagyu beef with green pepper is a fusion of Eastern and Western flavors, sparking inspiration on a summer afternoon. The midsummer garden breeze whispers softly🦋 Roses bloom on bone china Butterflies alight among desserts 📍Hangzhou · The Hangzhou Wulin State Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel 🏷 Midsummer · Windsor Garden Afternoon Tea | Limited-Time Collaboration

As soon as I entered the door, I was attracted by the low-key luxury of Hangzhou Wulin National University Hotel! Warm wood color with retro lights, really ambient ceiling! The window seat can directly overlook the night view of Wulin Business District. After eating, you can also go to the West Lake or the canal to enjoy the evening breeze Hundreds of delicacies are made to order, this is too luxurious! Ready-to-eat oysters and thick-cut salmon fillets are incredibly fresh. Black tiger shrimp and steak are all you can eat, sashimi platter, cooked drunk green crab piled up like a hill. Even the desserts are exquisite like works of art and the cheesecake is super delicious! The best part is that the executive chef pushes the dining car to deliver the food, and the scent of onion oil from the little green dragon hits your nostrils directly! Finally, a reminder ~ window seats must be reserved in advance! Eat while watching the night view, this is the dinner you dream of! !
