In Shanghai, there is a hotel which is called “Le Sun Shine (‘Shengongguan’ in Chinese)”. The name reminds me of an old movie several years ago — The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen(‘gentlemen’ is translated into Chinese as ‘Shenshi’ in pinyin), which assembles many legendary figures in some classical science fictions earlier than the movie The Avengers, such as the invisible man in Wales’ s novel, the Captain Nemo in Jules Verne’s, and Tom Sawyer in Mark Twain’s etc. It is the shared character “Shen” that makes me connection between the hotel and the movie. The movie assembles a group of legendary figures, while “Le Sun Chine” collects a group of men with ambitions and dreams.
It’s hard for me to be unforgettable about hotels(of course here I refer to the good point). In addition to HOSHINOYA Hotel of Japan, Le Sun Chine Shanghai is another one. In this Shanghai to Xian tour, I am lucky to stay at the hotel and get fascinated in it. What the most impressive thing is that the people I met. The bartender, the head chef and the principal of the SPA life, all of them seem not to work just for work’s sake. They work for dreams and some happy or perfect things.
What makes me love the hotel is the best fit between the tiny exquisite design and my preference to miniature and privacy. There are only 17 suites of rooms, with every one differs from each other. Le Sun Chine is one of the members of world famous Relais & Chateaux Group and is the only one in Shanghai. Built early at 1920s, it was a renowned Villa residential area which was named “Fanyuan Garden”. At that time. Many social celebrities had lived here, include the Chinese great poet Xu Zhimo’s wife.
In nowadays, many Chinese superstars like Zhang Huimei, Jay, Yao Chen and Yang Min etc have stayed in the hotel. Some featured hotels like The Shangri-La Hotel Xian, The Crown Plaza Hotel Xian etc are strongly recommended in a Xian tour.
