"The InterContinental hotels and resorts are a versatile bunch, setting up shop in city centers and resort destinations alike. In China, in particular, they lay claim to some truly spectacular locales — like this one, on a peninsula stretching out into the waters of Qiandao Lake, which is indeed dotted with over a thousand forested islands. This is the descriptively named InterContinental One Thousand Island Lake Resort, set right at the water’s edge, looking out over the lake at the distant mountain peaks." - Tablet Hotels
