Unique SceneriesThat Can Only Be Foundin the Lalu

A start of a legend

The Lalu is a timeless classic that remains a start of a legend. If there is a name that can stir your emotions， it is the Lalu （“Hanbilou” in Chinese）， even if each word in the name costs a hundred million dollars. In 1901， Mr. Ito built a small wooden cabin on the Lalu Peninsula for vacation use and called it “The Lalu”. For hundreds of years， with strict entrance control， only senior governmental official， generals， prime ministers， and emperors are allowed into the Lalu. Therefore， a myth is created for this building.

Perfect experience combining art and history

The Lalu Sun Moon Lake was designed by famous Australian architect Kerry Hill. Other than the unique architectural design of the Lalu， their architectural team also paid special attention to the hotel's lighting effects. Lighting effect was integrated into the planning right from the beginning. Lighting designer Nathan Thompson， who teaches lighting arts classes at the Melbourne University in Australia， creates lighting effects for major performing arts groups worldwide and continues to cooperate with major architects in lighting designs. The lighting effect at the Lalu harmonizes with the changing intensity of natural sunlight and is never harsh. Each day， seven lighting changes occur at different time periods and in different settings. At night， the graceful motion of branches and leaves are made visible by lights projected from the treetops to the ground. Lighting at the Lalu reminds us of a line from a famous poem： “Just as the shadows of flowers are carried away by the sunset， the moon appears and harkens them back”.

Dining here， you can have a taste of the Japanese cuisine， hidden depth of the Chinese cuisine and the etiquette of the Western cuisine. Gourmet will satisfy all your senses. The view of Cien Pagoda and Lalu Island make a feeling that they are hugging you while you are indulged with the fragrance. After a long way， you can enjoy the SPA. Boutiques must be the perfect experience combining art and history. Besides， they pride gifts that cannot be found anywhere else.
