I first set foot in Guangzhou more than 30 years ago, and I was deeply impressed by the White Swan Hotel. Since then, I have become a loyal customer. Every time I go to this biggest city, I don&;t go to another home. The imposing manner of the White Swan Lobby and the comfort of the rooms are unmatched by any Guangzhou hotel, especially the tea in the morning, which makes me stay again and again. The most important thing is to take a walk on the surrounding sand surface, where to find those huge banyan trees and quaint buildings in Guangzhou. Over the past few decades, there have been many five-star hotels in Guangzhou. With the establishment of the Pearl River New Town, there are even world-famous hotel groups, such as Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Grand Hyatt and so on. Although they have tried one by one, they finally came back to White Swan. The dim sum cooked by Master Qiu and the hand-chopped pork are unforgettable. It is my living habit to call a cup of thick Pu &;er tea and read a complim《羊城日报》. The last time I went, I heard that the white swan was going to be decorated. Boy, this renovation is three years, and it is run by the state, so we can take it slowly. What will become after the renovation is what our old guests are most worried about. In the meantime, I also stayed in many other hotels, the old brand Garden Hotel. Although it was a bit shabby, the level of dim sum was good. Later, because the institutions related to business were concentrated in Zhujiang New Town, I stayed in this area. Once the Ritz-Carlton lives again, the rooms, especially the suites, are very large, and sometimes I can&;t figure out how to walk around. The landmark of Guangzhou seen from the window is small and waisted, which can be clearly seen in the morning and evening, overlooking the Pearl River, and the scenery is quite beautiful. The hotel is characterized by high and large beds, which is a very good choice. Later, some friends worked in the four seasons, and they could get a discount and often went to live. The hotel was built on the top floor of the building, and it was necessary to take the elevator to dozens of floors before finding the lobby. From then on, the winding roof was also impressive. The room is as big as the Ritz-Carlton, and it is equally comfortable to live in. In the morning, I went to eat their buffet. The food changed a lot, and there was a place for children to eat. There was no good place to drink tea nearby, so I didn&;t complain, so I ate at the hotel. There is also a good bar on the top floor. If you can&;t sleep, have a drink and then go to sleep. From then on, I won&;t change hotels. When I go to Guangzhou, I will stay for four seasons. A few times ago, a friend booked the Mandarin Oriental in the center of Guangzhou, which belongs to Swire Group, unlike the Mandarin. There are no familiar bars, but it is their shopping mall, which is popular among fashionable men and women. Everyone you see is dressed like a white swan. Brand-name stores everywhere are all the same, the same all over the world, and there is no surprise. The suite is also big, and some big mirrors are installed in some corners, so you will bump into it accidentally. The lighting in the room is automatic, and sometimes it goes out suddenly. I have to be naked in the middle of the shower and come out in the dark to find the main switch before I can restore the light. But I think this is my bad luck, which is a rare example, but I stayed for two nights and the same example happened. There was nothing delicious around. For entertainment, I went to the Cuiyuan in the shopping mall, and things were hard to swallow. Still the old way, wait for the steamed fish ordered by friends to finish eating, and leave some fish juice, pour it on rice and fill the stomach.Son, it would be troublesome to call room service in the middle of the night. Finally, when the White Swan is decorated and ready to move in, the long overpass is still there. Guangzhou residents all say that it has destroyed the geomantic omen, and some people have long proposed to dismantle it, but I don&;t think it makes any sense. The lobby counter is novel, and there are still a few familiar employees left, and other management levels are gone. The rockery, rockery and fake water in it are still there, unlike the legendary demolition, and there are many guests taking photos in front. As soon as I entered the room, the marble-covered style was gone, like an ordinary international hotel room. Personal service doesn&;t exist either. I saw a row of inserted sous when I checked in, which was an extra triangular rectangle for guests. Today, there is a row, but it is only a flat head for domestic use, which is of no use to foreign guests. Looking out of the window at the Pearl River, the scenery remains the same. I often say that restoring the Pearl River Flower Boat here is a very attractive attraction for tourists. The former typhoon shelter was copied from the Pearl River Flower Boat, but now it has disappeared. If it reappears in Guangzhou, it will definitely become a tourist attraction. In the morning, I went for a walk in Shamian. Those big trees are still there, and the buildings are refreshed, which is more like a set in a movie. The streets are full of bronze statues made by third-rate artists, which have poor taste. The more I walked, the more uncomfortable I became. All the atmosphere I fell in love with completely disappeared, and I never wanted to revisit it again. The manager I met after drinking morning tea came to greet me, but the standard was not as good as before, and some cheap black truffle sauce was spread on the barbecue. I didn&;t look at the price, which was not less than the previous one, and it was more than doubled, so was the house price. On behalf of the end of an era, the White Swan won&;t let me be attached to it any more. Let&;s go back to the so-called advanced Pacific Place and Pearl River New Town. The whole of Guangzhou is changing, the living standard is improving, and there is less labor to get up early. People who exercise in the street are not seen, and they are replaced by healthy people jogging with headphones. Let&;s talk about hotels. Needless to say, almost every hotel in Tokyo has a toilet with water spray, but there is still no such equipment in Guangzhou, and it is said to be five-star.
