Shanghai Hotel | Drift into deep sleep where relaxation abounds

| Drift into deep sleep where relaxation abounds. Enough is enough, the current chaos and tension in life is truly enough. Since people choose to travel, to escape and distance themselves from the surrounding hustle and bustle, then the destination must be a place of natural relaxation. There, one can indulge for a while, get lost for a moment, even if it's just for an instant. From a young age, we are disciplined, 'relaxation' is not mainstream, we are accustomed to being vigilant from morning to night, advocating to 'keep the heart when alone, and watch the mouth when in company', emphasizing 'as if on the edge of an abyss, as if on thin ice'. As we mature, we understand that about living, there is Confucius who said 'reflect thrice a day on one's own behavior', and there is Zhuangzi who wrote 'Free and Easy Wandering'; there is Zhu Bajie who eats and sleeps, and there is Tang Sanzang who cultivates himself; Du Fu is not relaxed, Li Bai is relatively relaxed; Zeng Guofan is the antonym of relaxation, while the 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove' specifically pursued relaxation... Therefore, relaxation is a lifestyle, it is not about cultivation, it is your choice. As someone who travels all year round, I know well that hotels with a sense of relaxation are a rare commodity. It's not about location, price, or brand; it's something that naturally exudes from the very bones and blood of a hotel from the beginning. It can't be deliberately created, nor can it be developed over time; it's too scarce! The reason I like the Sukhothai Shanghai Hotel so much is largely because it makes me feel comfortable, physically sensing a distinct, unique relaxation that is not found elsewhere. It blends with nature, without any pretense, with earth-toned furniture, spaces outlined by natural materials, people moving slowly and speaking softly, warm and dim lighting, and the faint sound of music. Naturally, it feels as if one is lying in a soft bundle of cotton, slowly sinking, wrapped in warmth, and then drifting into deep sleep. This is the relaxation we seek, isn't it? Unforced, unintentional, naturally, and letting things take their course!
