Shichahai Shadow Art Performance Hotel

Located at a hutong along Shichahai Lake, Shichahai Shadow Art Performance Hotel is inspired by shadow art. With a hard push on the heavy door, you would be greeted with thick cultural ambiance. Shadow art pervades its walls, doors, lamps and pictures, so to speak, every corner of it. Its rooms take their names after Peking opera roles, namely Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo and Chou. Sitting on the kang (a traditional long platform for general living, working, entertaining and sleeping used in northern part of China) by the window, you would catch a glimpse of the stage for shadow art performance at the heart of the patio on 1F. At evenings, there would stage gorgeous shadow art performance.
