"Um! Lin Yi also expressed his agreement:

"And this puff pastry bar tastes good too!"

Han Yajing then took a piece and put it into her pink mouth. Her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Lin Yi with a feeling of heroism.

When the two of them walked around, Han Yajing held a bunch of pieces in her left hand. The strawberry candied haws, the snack in the Magic City held in the right hand, completely gave off the image of a lady. Instead, Ji Yi felt that such a Korean beauty was more real.

Otherwise, he always felt that the other person's face looked like that. She is a fairy who does not eat fireworks from the world.

Then, the two visited Yong'an Department Store.

It has a history of a hundred years. It can be said that it started the modern era of Shanghai.

At that time, Yong'an Department Store was full of celebrities and people flocked to it. The current internet celebrity check-in place is similar.

However, Lin Yi and Han Meiren just came to experience the century-old store and did not buy anything.

After a while, the two went to Shen Dacheng next door and bought some. The special pastries were given as souvenirs to the dormitory roommates.

However, this time the two of them had a tacit understanding and bought their own.

At noon, they went to Hongyi International Plaza and ate two bowls of hand-made spinach noodles..

The handmade noodles are very chewy and taste good even to southerners.

However, we Korean Americans wear masks the whole time except eating noodles.

Otherwise, we will have another Nanjing Road star-chasing. It's booming

"This is the Peace Hotel!" Han Yajing said excitedly

"Hmm!" Lin Yi looked at the hotel in front of him that was full of history and felt a little emotional.

Some people say that if an outsider doesn't come to the Bund, he doesn't come to the Magic City, and if he doesn't come to the Peace Hotel, he doesn't come to the Bund.

In 1995 , Hong Kong movie star Chow Yun-fat starred in the action movie"Peace Hotel".

In the movie, the murderer played by Chow Yun-fat opened a Peace Hotel and used it as a refuge for everyone who stayed at the Peace Hotel, no matter what bad things they had done. , as long as he did not leave, Chow Run-fa could guarantee his safety.

However, after filming"Peace Hotel", Chow Run-fa left Hong Kong Island and went to Hollywood until his return in 2005.

《"Peace Hotel" is Chow Yun-fat's last film before leaving Hong Kong Island, which is of special significance.

Of course, the Peace Hotel in the movie is fictional and does not exist in real life.

However, in the distant Magic City Beach, there is a Peace Hotel. In fact, the real Peace Hotel is even more legendary.

Peace Hotel is located at No. 20 Nanjing East Road, Huangpu District, the magical city, facing Pudong Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower across the river.

This hotel was once the first modernist building in the modern architectural history of Shanghai. It is known as the"tallest building in the Far East" and has stood on the turbulent Bund for more than 100 years.

The Peace Hotel is divided into two parts, the North Building and the South Building.

The South Building was formerly the Huizhong Hotel, and the North Building was the Chinachem Hotel.

Huizhong Hotel has a long history, formerly known as"Central Hotel".

As early as 1854, not long after the opening of the city, John Bull built the three-story

Central Hotel, which was the most luxurious hotel in the city at that time. In 1865, John Bull's Huifeng Bank established a branch in Shanghai and rented a room in the Central Hotel for business.

In 1895, the British merchant Hui Zhong Yang bought the Central Hotel, renamed it"Hui Zhong Hotel" and continued to operate it.

By the beginning of the 20th century, Huizhong Hotel had been in business for more than half a century and was somewhat dilapidated. Huizhong Foreign Company decided to demolish the old building of the Central Hotel and rebuild a new building.

In 1908, the rebuilt Huizhong Hotel opened for business.

The rebuilt Huizhong Hotel was designed by foreign engineers and constructed by Wang Faji Construction Factory.

Wang Faji Construction Factory is a Longge company.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the Public Settlement did not believe that the Longguo people could undertake the construction of such a large hotel and was reluctant to issue a license.

Finally, with the guarantee of the famous construction designer Yang Sisheng, Wang Faji Construction Factory won the project.

Facts have proved that the people of Longguo can not only build large hotels, but also build large hotels with excellent quality. After 111 years of ups and downs, Huizhong Hotel is still intact and majestic.

The new building of Huizhong Hotel has 6 floors and is a mixed brick and wood structure with a total height of 30 meters, covering an area of 2125 square meters and a construction area of 11607 square meters. There are 120 rooms inside, each with independent sanitary facilities.

The ground floor is a large restaurant that can accommodate more than 300 people dining at the same time. Huizhong Hotel was the tallest building in Magic City at that time and the first building to install elevators and roof gardens. It was luxuriously decorated and famous for its time. It mainly received celebrities from the financial world, business circles and celebrities from all over the world.

Huizhong Hotel has witnessed many modern historical events.

In 1909, China, Britain, the United States, France and other countries held the International Anti-Smoking Conference at the Huizhong Hotel.

In 1911, the Dragon Kingdom Alliance held a general meeting at Huizhong Hotel. The famous slogan"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard" was put forward at this conference.

Many Chinese and foreign celebrities have visited Huizhong Hotel.

John Bull playwright Noel Coward wrote his masterpiece"Private Lives" at the Huizhong Hotel.

In the 1930s, John Bull, writer George Bernard Shaw and comedy master Chaplin successively visited the Magic City of Dragon Kingdom and both stayed at Huizhong Hotel.

Marshall, the five-star general of the Chou Kingdom, and Leighton Stuart, the diplomat, both left their footprints at Huizhong Hotel.

The Chinachem Hotel was built later and opened in 1929. This is a Chicago School Gothic building with a height of 77 meters and a total of 12 floors.

The Chinachem Hotel was the tallest modern building in Magic City at that time, known as the"First Floor in the Far East", and its total cost exceeded 2.48 million taels of silver.

The interior restaurant and lobby of Chinachem Hotel are splendidly decorated, with suites from nine countries including Britain, the United States, India, Germany, France, the United States, Japan, the West, and medium-sized suites.

In 1956, Chinachem Hotel and Huizhong Hotel merged and were renamed"Peace Hotel" to this day.

It can be said that Peace Hotel is a piece of modern history of Brother Long.

You need to open the pages and savor the taste carefully

"I heard that there is an elderly jazz band in the Peace Hotel!"

Han Yajing said

"Want to listen?" Lin Yi suggested

"May I?"Han Meiren asked with her eyes shining.

"hehe!"Jin Yi directly pulled the other party into the Peace Hotel.

Speaking of which, if it is a holiday or some special days, you need to make a reservation in advance at the Peace Hotel.

However, if you just go to the bar and listen to senior jazz, you don't need to.

The two walked in, It was full of historical decoration style and made people awe-inspiring.

When they arrived at the bar according to the waiter's instructions, a group of white-haired old men were playing melodious music.

However, there were not many people in the whole bar.

There are almost no young people like Lin Yi and Han Meiren who want to reminisce about the good times in the past. Therefore, the arrival of the two attracted the attention of some formally dressed adults.

If you are just here to listen to music, just sit quietly at the table nearby.

The melodious music is like a SPA for your ears, allowing you to completely calm down in this impetuous city, as if you are in the music. Forget all the troubles and swim in the long river of history.

When the song ended,

Lin Yi and Han Yajing also applauded enthusiastically.
