scenery of clear water and blue sky, the hotel is a perfect choice
as an tourist destination for those who wants to from the
uproarious modern city and embrace the nature by a picturesque

from China Guidant International Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. was
invited to participate in Fairmont Yangcheng Lake hotel's
promotional soft opening activity for its potential customers, and
thus luckily became the hotel's 1st guest.

limited. THE excellent location and stylish architectural patterns
of the hotel shows this hotel can be a good choice for corporate
events of small teams or companies, and that's what interested me
to come and get to know more about this hotel. "She's quite right
about that, not every hotel can boast such a beautiful natural
lscenery of mountains and lake. Kathy herself was deeply impressed
by the view and she commented, "The hotels lies next to the
Yangcheng Lake, presenting a broad open view, where a park is
located on one side of the hotel. The park takes up a large area
including decorations such as fishing piers, swings, and a creek
designed to flow through part of the park and bridges above it. The
entire hotel is beginning to take shape now, as some facilities and
green plants are still under construction, therefore, the
environment here is much more relaxing than those five star hotels
in high rises buildings around downtown Shanghai.
The Chinese restaurant of Fairmont Yangcheng Lake hotel also
plays an important role in the hotel's food and beverage outlets.
The great location of the hotel provides a special and perfect
ingredient, hairy crabs. And the hotel's top chefs make the crabs
into various tasty delicacies. Of course besides the rich and sweet
crabs, the hotel serves all kinds of different cuisine and
delicacies as well. What satisfied Kathy the most during her stay

hotel. "The decoration and design is stylish and
elegant. And the attentive service including the timing of adding
tea, serving dishes and replacing plates in a professional manner
and with courteous sincere smiles ", she remarked as a compliment on
the restaurant and the hotel. Moreover, Kathy also thinks highly of

conference section.
Nowadays people tend to enjoy a life of ease, and it always
reminds us of the spa in Fairmont Yangcheng Lake hotel, whenever we

elements of fire along with earth, water, and air, helping to
reduce our pressure and obtain power from the nature. The spa here

met her demand for a hotel in so many aspects! Since the hotel has
just opened for business, some of the hotel's venues and services
(Such as the bar and breakfast buffet) are not available during the
soft opening, and some internal departments are still working
through the running-in period, yet we all believe that Fairmont

♥ November 14th, 2010 , Tags : Faust, topics for , No Comment
Drama "Faust" at the Shanghai Oriental Art Center shortly before the premiere, it is amazing art event. Finally, in all kinds of spicy jokes flooded the Chinese stage arts are an intoxicating breath of fresh air.
Today, as other cities, like Shanghai, fickle business climate of art quickly move closer to the fast food culture, and even read that there are "light reading," said. Wonder how many people can read the "Faust" this gothic book with six years of hard work into the world of literary masterpieces, not to say and understand the desire to Faust met if "thinking to stay here," the devil available philosophical thinking of his soul - it has been hopelessly human? Shanghai Drama Center's artists with their pursuit of art, thinking and those philosophical meditation on the human drama on stage in the kind of poetry, the language presented to the audience, touching!
In the past mostly in Shanghai Oriental Art Center to listen to a symphony, that effect is with the venue. Regardless of the Berlin Philharmonic, London Symphony or Beethoven or Dvorak, site effects are good, if the opera seems obvious cramped that difficult to make such as Turandot productions to be seen, this time in the theater to see "floating LUX "is that quite good results, possibly because of the skill of the director and actors, the entire drama has a natural, fresh feeling, from the lines of the design to show the effect of the play full of beauty and poetry. "Faust," the director insisted the noble pursuit of art, not relegated to the language interpretation of this famous Pop. Immersed in the story the audience can enjoy the lines and content. Play Faust and Gretchen, several actors have very high standards, readings and performance are very in place for full performance the audience is not consciously thinking and story together, or the evil of human nature will prevail, the soul of torture are is today's social needs.
Think of the great poet Qu Yuan in China thousands of years ago have been those from the heart's lament, that "The Long Waves turbid, I wash my feet," the romantic feelings, it seems that hundreds of years ago in the Song of the German literary giants Germany there has been echoed. Demonstrated in the form of drama "Faust", by the actors perform, the original of the poetry and beauty are vividly phonological manifestation. Such as Shen in the "rock box" in describing the sound on the next boat race, that "the faction voice, what kind of mood, really can not describe in words what the language. To a long stay here in the city itself, to read Reading "Songs of the South" on the fascinating people who intended to move, to describe it all on the next race boat, and more recent efforts in vain. " Shows the effect of rhyme great. It is with the voice actors of control and sense of beauty in this small theater audiences led to further production of Faust's philosophical thought and association.
In today's materialistic, can enjoy the "Faust" Zhennai blessing of life, because it allows us to think. The need to stop and this association was done. Senior writer Mr. Wang Zengqi have the text reads: "No matter the sit-in," Li Bai's poetry is quoted: "No matter the sit-in, day when the two-day" a mood. So people can calm down, Feeling and thinking in static. Anxious that this mountain that looks high, people are not calm down, of course, there would be no reflection and association. Sequoia Capital's founders also believe that the cause of thought and imagination as the key to success, calm down it is impossible not to think and imagine.
