Wonderful Night at Bagong\’s House

Hello, the heart of Hankou

\”When you come to Wuhan this time, let\’s stay in Bagong\’s house.\” Inadvertently, I finally said this to my friends from other places.

The Winter Solstice is connected with Christmas Eve, and it’s another year. This month, Wuhan Fengmao Ba Gongdi Hotel(hereinafter referred to as \”Bagong Mansion\”)Opened for business, the Bagong house, which could only be seen from a distance, opened its doors to welcome guests.

You can climb up the steps, lean on the railing and soak in the good night in Hankou. This is our Bagong House in Wuhan. The two Roman columns near Dongting Street are the gates of Bagong House Hotel, low-key and classic. . The magic should be just right, so that the people who live in it have the ability to withdraw from the crowds on the street at any time.

Welcoming guests at the door bowed, their hats tilted slightly, and their long suits hung down. The visitor next to him had not yet entered the door and sighed:\”It\’s like the Peace Hotel in \”Flowers\”. ”

Golden shimmer shines from the glass above the door, like a kaleidoscope rotating, and the show is about to begin.

|| Pushing open the balcony door of Suite 201, you stand on the \”triangular pointy\” second-floor balcony of Bagong\’s house. The sound of shutters downstairs can be heard at all times.

When it comes to Bagong House, netizens unanimously comment that it is a must-see in Wuhan.

The mood of Wuhan people is subtle. \”Is this a slap on the head?\” \”As I passed by, the crowds of people were surging, and I couldn\’t help but drop a sentence, some not taking it seriously, and some vaguely unwilling:How can I open this century-old mansion with carved beams and painted decorations after checking in and taking photos?

Russian-style round domes, clear red brick walls, arched doors and windows and small balconies filled with green plants, there is nothing wrong with them.The bungalow in Old Hankou is like a vast ocean, and Bagong’s house is like a brightly lit cruise ship on the sea.

It walked at the forefront, splitting two huge waves on Dongting Street and Poyang Street.

Now that the cruise ship is setting sail, how can we not board the ship and watch the sea?Those of us The people from Wuhan who said \”what a slap on the head\” are still here.

|| Roof Garden

Sunlight shines on the two atriums and a roof garden of Ba Gong Residence, without any waste. The shadows of the plane trees on the street are dancing, and the stars pass through the window lattice and shine on the black walnut wall.No matter how you shop, you will feel like \”you are what I imagined you to be\”.

Although there are several elevators built in Bagong\’s house, I still have a whim and feel that I have to leave if I live here. stair.

The heels of the shoes step on the wooden steps, like knocking on the door: Hello, I’m here.

The fan-shaped light and shadow of the corridor windows reflect the unevenness of the wood, which has been made by generations of people over the years.

Occasionally I find a straight and brand-new wooden board, and I will yell to the photographer: \”Come and take a photo, wood and wood are talking across time and space!\” ”

It is said that when Bagong’s house was being renovated, someone accidentally pulled out a London newspaper from 1931 from a crack in the wall.With people coming and going, this old house has become the \”tree hole\” of Hankou.

This time I stayed in Suite 201, the largest in Bagong Residence(There are three rooms of the same type in Bagong Residence). Looking out from the innermost balcony is the most popular spot in the \”Triangle Point\”.

The suite area is 170㎡. Since the floor height is more than three meters, the overall look is larger than I thought. . Opening the door is the front hall, and then the living room, kitchen, dining room, cloakroom, bathroom, independent bedroom and study room appear in front of you in sequence.

|| You look at the scenery, and the scenery is also looking at you.

Suppressing my mood, I walked to the end and opened the double-layered black shutter door at the \”triangular tip\”. There was a \”squeak\” and the clicking sound of the shutter came in. There was a huge crowd of onlookers downstairs. I quietly poked my head out and watched the crowd turn into small dots, and I became their lens The background plate inside is in position C.

Excitement, surprise and an inexplicable sense of vanity are mixed together.

\”They don\’t seem to be taking pictures with Bagong\’s house, but with me.\” I thought,\”Is this the heart of Hankou? Standing here, you can not only become a star, but you can also reach out to reach the stars.\”

Night fell, and I was in Bagong’s house, with colorful lights surrounding me.

College students from Hubei University ran from Optics Valley to Lihuangpi Road.Paint portraits of couples. Strings of small light bulbs are hung on the roadside, and the streets of Hankou look like a love movie at night Yes, incredibly romantic.

Bagong Bistro, created by Bagong Di and Michelin star chef Stefan Stiller, is on the first floor.

I ordered the recently launched oneChristmas Package, there are 11 dishes. The first servedApple Ginger Tea , like the red sweater I wear on Christmas, nice and warm, it gives me a drink to whet my appetite.

AppetizersBread BasketIt feels very French, Stefan Stiller pays careful attention to the butter and pairs it with hand-baked bread, which is salty and not greasy.

I quite like itBurrata cheeseYes, breaking it is like opening a beautiful secret, wrapped in tomatoes, sweet and sour.Australian beef consommé, beef bone marrow is as crispy as shrimp crackers, paired with beef brisket soup, similar to fried dough sticks paired with soup noodles.

Osmanthus lobster \”cake\”This is a highly praised dish at Bagong Bistro. After the sweet-scented osmanthus fish is pureed, it is cooked with diced lobster and black tiger shrimp until it is a sandwich layer, and then wrapped in a thin layer of bread and fried. Grilled, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, dipped in black truffle mayonnaise, very special.

Also served with baked applesPan-fried duck liver, dense taste Braised cod in French seafood sauce, tender and juicyAustralian Wagyu SteakAnd dessertLava Cake, all are worth mentioning.

The 11 dishes brought by Star Chef only cost NT$688, no wonder everyone loves them.

\”Don\’t take dining so seriously, just have fun eating.\” Bistro, bistro.

If you want to drink, Bagong Bistro has hundreds of varieties on its wine list. I ordered a cup of the simplest Bagong special blend, jasmine tea soaked in vodka, ending slightly tipsy.

|| I also stayed at the famous tourist attraction \”Triangle Point\” in Bagong\’s house.

I woke up to the soft singing of hungover young people on Lihuangpi Road outside the window.

Turning the brass lever, the ceiling carvings were illuminated by the light. Only then did I notice that the Devialet stereo was placed next to the bed, the SMEG kettle was used at the bar, and the toiletries next to the bathtub were from Gree\’s. The details of Ba Gong’s residence moisturize things silently.

The flames of the fireplace under the TV are beating, and I am nestled on the sofa with a book at hand\”The Story of Bagong\’s House\”(There is a copy in each room), you will know after reading two pages,This is not a brochure, but a real and eloquent story telling 18 stories about Bagong’s house.

The book tells the history of the Banov brothers\’ tea business in Hankou. Every step and scene in Bagong\’s residence almost all revolve around \”tea\”. Encountering different eras in the corridor The teapot style and the dachshund puppy pattern are still out of date

As more and more teapots appeared on the wall, I was wondering, could this actually be a tea set museum disguised as a hotel? Wait two more steps,Wanli Tea Ceremony Exhibition Hall appears in front of you. It is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00-17:00. You can visit by making an appointment in advance.There really is.

Wuhan writer Chi Li said in an interview at the press conference of \”Big Tree Insect\”:\”The ladies who came in and out of Bagong\’s house in those days were beautiful and modern. Therefore, I want to recreate the once very noble civilization of Wuhan. ”

\”Civilization\” is obviously the context that Bagong\’s House has been passed down to this day. Now that Bagong\’s House has been built as a boutique hotel to explore history, it is equal to civilization\’s own experience, and living here means moving forward. span>

Lost in the gym and I\’m almost hungry.Ba Gong Xiao downstairs The pub provides daily coffee and night drinks, and provides breakfast to guests.

Bread basket with raspberries , orange and honey jam, yogurt bowl, bacon potato pancakes and two eggs. Of course, those who are not used to continental breakfast can also choose Chinese breakfast. Fried dough sticks and beef noodles, Stefan Stiller understands the spirit of Wuhan carbohydrates

Before checking out, I wandered around for a while. Ba Gong Residence has a total of 45 suites, ranging in size from 45㎡ to 170㎡. Each room has its own characteristics.

There are two terraces in Suite 202, the sycamore trees outside the window were dyed bright green by the sunlight, like filming a movie.

|| Suite 416

Suite 416 located in \”Daba Gong\” is far away from the busy street scene and enjoys exclusive purity. The oversized terrace cannot bear the wanton sunshine.Golden color splashes all over the ground. Outside the window are Gao\’s old house and Mantuo Garden. The two small bungalows have their own stories. The windows are quilts posted by Wuhan neighbors. You will not feel out of place, but will feel close to you.

Stretching out poles from bungalows to dry clothes is a typical old Wuhan feature. If you can see outside the hotel window Seeing such a scene is like a trip to Wuhan. It’s really listening, seeing and feeling.

This Halloween, Wuhan people spontaneously dressed up as they liked, gathered on the streets of Lihuangpi Road, and had a casual carnival,Their contact code is just one sentence: \”See you at Bagong\’s house\”

As early as a hundred years ago, when Bagong\’s house was completed, a circle of fashionable shops opened along the street on the first floor. They successively operated \”Yufenglong\” wine shop, \”Qianqiangtai\” restaurant, Shanghai Barber Shop, and coffee shop. Hall etc. east countryBut the garden is the soul of Hankou’s nightlife. The modern life of Old Hankou was cultivated here and spread out from here. Christmas trees have been lit up on the streets. The lights are on, the countdown to New Year\’s Eve is about to begin, and the champagne opened at the racecourse has come across centuries, waiting for everyone to drink it down.

Living in Bagong\’s house, at the heart of Hankou, you will feel the most direct and warm Wuhan, every brick and tile, every window and every scene is worthy of this trip.

In the afternoon, you will see a corner of Bagong’s house full of fashionable people. At night, there is singing and dancing on Lihuangpi Road, and young people paint, drink and sing on the roadside. In the morning, you are awakened by the smell of hot dry noodles, and the sister-in-law opposite has finished drying the clothes and watered the flowers…

Unexpectedly, one day, I also lived in Bagong’s house.
