Photography equipment for this trip:Canon SLR camera EOS-7D, Canon lens 24- 105mm f/4L IS.

★★★ Since the global outbreak of the new coronavirus, I have not left the province for more than a year, let alone travel abroad. There is also another special reason for this. The person in the family is a medical worker. It has never stopped for a moment since the epidemic broke out. Traveling outside the province is even more extravagant.

★★★ This year's May Day is no exception. I couldn't leave the province, so I relied on the "excuse" of the 10th wedding anniversary to go to the Shanghai Peace Hotel (No. 20 Nanjing East Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai City)(Fairmont Golden Bottle Queen Room: 2292 yuan/night).

★★★ When you approach the hotel door, you will see the unique brass revolving hall door of that era. If you choose to use the side door, the waiter will enthusiastically help you pull the door.

★★★ Walking into the lobby, you will find the marble floor, parquet walls, bronze chandeliers... The most impressive thing is the huge plaster sculpture on the wall of the octagonal hall. The octagonal stained glass ceiling above it, and the glazed sculpture below it is the "Dove of Peace", an Art Deco style building in old Shanghai, is really magnificent.

★★★ After check-in, take the nostalgic and retro small elevator and go directly to the Executive Lounge on the 9th floor to enjoy the afternoon tea time of "Old Shanghai". The exquisite Western meals and English afternoon tea are elegant and fashionable. I especially recommend it.

★★★ The "happy hour" time in the evening is from 17:30 to 19:30. I especially recommend roast chicken and cocktails. The hotel also promotes the cocktail experience, because the cocktails are completely prepared by the guests, which is a great experience.

★★★ The focus of this trip came. When I returned to my room to prepare for a rest, I found that the hotel had carefully arranged and presented a loving chocolate cake with the words: "Happy Anniversary", which praised the hotel's service and was very heart-warming. Although I mentioned the 10th wedding anniversary when I placed an order on Ctrip. However, the hotel was very attentive and not only sent special blessings when checking in, but also this little surprise.

★★★ After the recommendation of the hotel staff, I got up early the next morning and went straight to the Jasmine Lounge in the lobby on the first floor for breakfast. When I walked into the restaurant, it was decorated with nostalgic retro decorations and a grand piano placed in the center. The dining table was covered with all kinds of silver tableware, making it seem like you were immersed in the scene. Back in that era, no matter how busy the traffic was outside or the dark tide like in the spy movie, you would stay away from the complexity and hustle of the metropolis here. There is more comfort and ease.

★★★ One of the most regrettable things is that I missed out on the elderly jazz band with the most old Shanghai Beach style in the jazz bar. Because the bar stipulates that minors are not allowed to enter, they have to abandon places where children cannot go.

★★★ About the origin of Shanghai Peace Hotel, I have a little idea of it through consulting. I will tell you here: In 1923, a cunning gentleman with toes came to Shanghai on the beach. He looked around and thought about something, and suddenly realized that Shanghai was a really nice place. It was a paradise for adventurers. He smelled business opportunities and was ready to do a good job here. As a result, in 1929, a skyscraper belonging to the Gothic building of the Chicago School was renovated. It was 77 meters high and had a total of 13 floors. The most dazzling feature was the vertically textured corrugated copper pyramid top, which was very magnificent. He rented out some floors and opened his own foreign store. He used the fourth to ninth floors as hotels, restaurants, and dance halls. The rooms were divided into Chinese, Japanese, British, French, Italian, American, etc. And he enjoys the tenth floor alone. In this way, a large amount of money rolled in, and I was happy that this perky gentleman couldn't keep his mouth shut.

★★★ This gentleman was Mr. Ellis Victor Sassoon, a well-known and arrogant British Jewish businessman at that time. He founded this Sassoon Building, which enjoys the reputation of "the tallest building in the Far East", and this building The hotel with the most top life in Shanghai was born-the Chinachem Hotel, which was all the rage.

★★★ Today, Shanghai Peace Hotel consists of two buildings, north and south. The north building was evolved from the Sassoon Building. Then speaking of the south building, the history of the south building is even longer. It was built in 1906 in the late Qing Dynasty and is the earliest existing hotel in Shanghai. One of the hotels, Huizhong Hotel, is a balanced apartment building imitating the Renaissance period. Unfortunately, it is not currently open to the public and can only be viewed from a distance.

★★★ After a century of vicissitudes, Shanghai Peace Hotel, its owner, Jinjiang Group, has cooperated with Fairmont Hotels Group, a veteran North American luxury hotel group, to rebuild the Peace Hotel, making it rejuvenate with the New Year and have many guests.

★★★ Finally, I have to remind you that if your expenses are enough to bear it, it is recommended to choose the Nine-Country Characteristic River View Suite. After all, the more expensive the cost, the more perfect the experience, and the space that can be unlocked is different, because each floor The access card is different, and the space that can be unlocked is also different!
