What is the best hotel in China at present?

Shangri-La International Hotel, of course. See below for details. Shangri-La is a magical and beautiful place described by British novelist james hilton in his novel Lost Kharkin 1900- 1954. At that time, the British Writers' Dictionary claimed that one of the achievements of this book was to create the word "Xanadu" for English vocabulary. The Lost Horizon became a best seller at that time and won the famous Hawthorne Prize for Literature in Britain. From 65438 to 0944, Hollywood invested 2.5 million dollars to put the novel on the screen, which pushed Shangri-La's reputation to the peak, and the theme song "This Beautiful Shangri-La" spread all over the world. 197 1 year, Guo Henian, the global Chinese super-rich from Fujian and the richest Malaysian, founded the first five-star Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore, which opened the curtain of a brilliant hotel kingdom. Guo likes reading Lost Horizon since he was a child. Among the hotels he founded, only the top five-star hotels can be named Shangri-La. In the past 20 years, Shangri-La Hotel Group has become the most important hotel group in the Asia-Pacific region, with total assets of HK$ 47 billion. Interestingly, every hotel in Shangri-La Group presented the novel The Lost Horizon to its guests. Shangri-La Hotel Group, headquartered in Hong Kong, is the largest luxury hotel group in Asia and is regarded as one of the best hotel management groups in the world. It has won a consistent reputation in many public and industry bids. Shangri-La Hotel Group is well aware that the passionate pursuit of Excellence must start from the top management of the hotel, so every top management has been carefully selected. Shangri-La's leadership consists of the best professionals in the hotel industry. Most of them have more than 20 years of rich industry experience, and they have worked in Shangri-La Hotel for 10 years before they were promoted to their present positions. Shangri-La Hotel Group has gathered professionals of different nationalities and accumulated rich experience in international hotel industry. Every senior staff member has a far-sighted international vision and knows everything about management and operation, which are important assets for the Group's rapid global expansion. Here is some information about Shangri-La. The word "Shangri-La" comes from the kingdom of Shambhala in Tibetan scriptures. In the history of Tibetan Buddhism, it is widely called the highest realm of "King of Purity", and in modern vocabulary, it is synonymous with "Eden, Utopia and Xanadu". According to Tibetan scriptures, it is hidden in a secret place deep in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The whole kingdom is surrounded by double snow-capped mountains and consists of eight lotus petal-shaped areas. The snow-capped mountain, which also stands in the center, was originally named Karaba Palace, where the supreme leader of Shambhala kingdom lived. The legendary Shangri-La is the sage with the highest wisdom. They are tall and have natural strength. Up to now, they still communicate with the world through a secret passage called "the navel of the earth" from places that people can't see, and firmly control the world. In fact, for a long time, this mysterious "navel of the earth" passage has been the key to finding Shangri-La and the only way to reach Shangri-La Kingdom. James hilton's novel The Lost Horizon tells the story of four westerners, including Conway, who were taken to the Blue Moon Valley in Shangri-La by a mysterious oriental hijacker when they were transferred to Peshawar from a place called Basku in the South Asian subcontinent during the war. Throughout Shangri-La described in the novel, various faiths coexist peacefully, and there are Christian churches, Buddhist temples, Taoist temples and Confucian ancestral temples everywhere. People adhere to the doctrine of the mean, and maintain a doctrine of the mean for everything, even for happiness. Shangri-La is a natural scenery-snow-capped mountains, glaciers, canyons, forests, meadows, lakes and wealth-rich in gold mines and pure air. It is a beautiful, clear, safe, leisure, long-distance, satisfying, quiet and harmonious destination for all beautiful human ideals. Here, in fact, Shangri-La has become an ideal country with a kind of harmony and tranquility. When this novel was published by Macmillan Publishing Company in London, England in April 1934, it caused an unexpected sensation among publishers and writers in Europe and soon sold well in the United States, Japan and other countries. After the novel was published, it was immediately made into a movie by a Hollywood production company with unique vision. This film is popular all over the world, and the theme song Shangri-La is sung all over the world. Later, the word Shangri-La was bought out by the Kwok family, a Hong Kong-Singapore entrepreneur, and became a hotel firm, which became popular all over the world and became one of the highest symbols of global hotel brands, confirming the great significance of Lost Horizon in humanities. The lost horizon has become the peach blossom source of westerners. The great significance of Lost Horizon lies in that it has implanted the artistic conception of paradise on earth into western cultural values. As the British Writers' Dictionary pointed out when commenting on the Lost Horizon, its merit lies in creating the word Shangri-La, a "paradise" for English vocabulary. Since then, this imaginary paradise on earth has become synonymous with Eden, Xanadu and Utopia. At this point, the understanding of the East and the West is roughly the same, and so are China's "Xanadu" and "Utopia", both of which show people's pursuit of beautiful things and yearning for peace and harmony. Shangri-la first rose in the west. First of all, it is worth noting that "The Lost Horizon" was written after World War I, when World War II was about to begin. At this time, the western economy was not very prosperous, and the people were generally in ecstasy, which can be proved from the social background of Hitler's coming to power. People generally want to be rich, but in reality they can't get this satisfaction. This is a spiritual desire. It is also the deep social background of the emergence and sensation of Lost Horizon. Just like today's real society, people's yearning and helplessness for the real society can be seen from the hit of anti-corruption blockbusters and the secret history of the Qing Dynasty. The topic is too far from the point. Back to the topic, the first thing to say is: a, tranquility and harmony is the theme of Shangri-La, which is a very abstract thing that can exist in people's minds, imagination and desires. But it may not be true. Because james hilton is a writer, not a historian, not a historian. B, james hilton himself has never been to this place. The material of his novels comes from Locke's adventure photos, diaries and records of American and Austrian ancestry. Speaking of which, I can't help but mention Locke. He is a professor of botany at the University of Hawaii. He came to the southwest border of China for botanical research at the invitation of National Geographic magazine. He was buried in Old Town of Lijiang, China, China in the 1920s, but he was deeply attracted by the simple local culture, heavy history and diverse folk customs. He stayed for nearly 30 years and didn't want to leave until liberation. C, in addition, it is worth mentioning that the end of this novel is similar to the Peach Blossom Garden in China. It is also the time when the four westerners want to come back after leaving, so they can't go back and can't find the old road. D it is also worth noting that Taoism, Confucianism and Christianity are mentioned in the novel. Buddhism is not enough, because Tibetan Buddhism is widely spread in the snowy plateau of China. Among them, Taoism and Confucianism can be said to be China's unique humanistic meditation. Christianity also exists in the southwest border of China. Since19th century, western missionaries have been engaged in this activity in the southwest border of China. Today, there are Christian churches in some places in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan, such as the famous Cizhong Church. E. Shangri-La mentioned in the article is a transliteration of Shambhala in Tibetan. It is also mentioned in the article that his meaning is quiet and beautiful, and the meaning of the sun and the moon in my heart is exactly the same as that of Shambhala in Tibetan. To sum up the above points, scholars now generally believe that Shangri-La is a yearning place and an ideal country, which may not really exist, just like the Peach Blossom Garden in China. However, its prototype is in the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest of China, so it is generally believed that the Tibetan area at the junction of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet is the Shangri-La described by Hilton, because Locke has lived in this area for decades. This Sichuan-Yunnan-Tibet region generally includes Lijiang, Lugu Lake, Shangri-La (Zhongdian in Diqing, Yunnan), Meili Snow Mountain, Tiger Leaping Gorge, the last Shangri-La (Yading in Daocheng, Sichuan), Lugu Lake, Gongga Mountain, Beauty Valley in Danba, Sun Valley (Derong, Sichuan), Xiangcheng, Mangkang, Qamdo, Bomi, Motuo and Yarlung Zangbo River. The scenery in this area is generally consistent with the description in Lost Horizon, especially the distinctive things mentioned in the book can be found here. Such as; Meili Snow Mountain, Daocheng Aden Sanshen Mountain, etc. But there is no specific mention of a place. Now the real place called Shangri-La is Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. There is another anecdote about this Shangri-La: As early as the 1970s, news kept coming out that Shangri-La had been discovered in India and Nepal. However, it was later considered to be a hype about the demand of tourism economy, rather than academic certification in a strict sense. Today, the beauty of Shangri-La in Yunnan has penetrated into the hearts of everyone who has been to this area. On this snowy plateau, there are world-famous Meili Snow Mountain, Daocheng Yading Sanshen Mountain, endless plateau meadows, different ethnic songs and dances, unique folk traditional art, mysterious multi-religious culture, and many unique ethnic groups and colorful folk customs, which will always inspire people to find their own Shangri-La-whether in reality or in the ideal!
