I think foreigners have a simple definition of vacation, as long as there is a swimming pool, a beach, and sunshine. There are not too many details to talk about. The Kempinski Resort Hotel in Beirut is completely based on the aesthetics of foreigners. ⭐️The price is 2700 yuan/night It's a hotel booked by the client! It should be the best resort hotel locally ⭐️The hotel should be some years old, the design of the lobby and rooms and various displays are conventional, there is no big highlight. The service is quite in place! The hotel used to be called Summerland, it was taken over by Kempinski during the most difficult three years in Lebanon. ⭐️The location is okay, Beirut is very small! The hotel is 15 minutes from the city center, 15 minutes from the airport, but 60-90 minutes from tourist attractions! ⭐️The biggest highlight and valuable place of the hotel is probably that the park is very large, the swimming pool is very large and many, facing the sea has its own private beach. Leaning on the beach chair can be an afternoon. (Beirut is really special, it's very sunny before 4 o'clock! After 4 o'clock, the light and temperature are very pleasant) Warm tips: 📌Chinese passport holders are visa-free for entering Lebanon. Tell the customs that you are here for tourism, and you can enter smoothly 📌Don't exchange the local currency, just use US dollars! 📌Lebanon is not as chaotic as imagined, it's ok safe! Whether in the city or suburbs of Lebanon, the houses on both sides of the road are "scarred", don't be scared. It's just the traces of the past. The government has no money to repair and just left it there. As shown in Figure 9 ❤️Some thoughts: The national conditions, politics, and financial currency of Lebanon are quite complicated. It's not a place that ordinary people can understand! I believe that this place was once a beautiful country, so it was called the Little Paris of the Middle East! I believe that this place was once a place of high economic growth, so 1 Lebanese pound can be exchanged for more than 1 US dollar!
