ong Kong-based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is set open a hotel in the center of Qufu, Confucius' birthplace, on Aug. 1.
The company said the new Shangri-La Hotel Qufu paid homage to philosopher Confucius and would be the city's first international luxury accommodation.
Blending Confucian principles, Chinese traditions and contemporary style, the hotel's design reflects Qufu's history with modern aesthetics. Its interior design concept expresses the three key principles of Confucian philosophy ' order, harmony and hierarchy ' and is based on Confucius' 'Six Arts', which include the disciplines of rites, music, archery, chariot racing, calligraphy and mathematics.
Located in Shandong province, Qufu is also one of mainland China's 24 government-designated famous historical and cultural cities.
It is situated two hours from Beijing and three hours from Shanghai by high-speed train. Shangri-La Hotel Qufu is within walking distance to the Temple of Confucius, the Mansion of Confucius and the Cemetery of Confucius, all three of which are UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Sites.
