InterContinental One Thousand Island Lake Resort

A resort on a peninsula jutting into Qiandao Lake, where the view from your room is a thousand forested islands and distant peaks doing their best ink-wash painting impression. The 264 rooms lean modern-traditional but quietly, so nothing competes with the windows. Bathrooms run to rain showers and separate tubs, and there's a nine-treatment-room spa with indoor and outdoor pools for when the scenery alone feels insufficient.
