You really don't know? 'Blooming Flowers' was filmed in this hotel!

Shanghai Garden Hotel is located in the former French Concession of Shanghai, It is a century-old building, In those days, it was one of the most prosperous places in Shanghai. Here witnessed countless stories, There are love, friendship, joys and sorrows. Some people meet here, some people say goodbye here, Some people wait here, some people reminisce here. With the hot broadcast of the TV series 'Blooming Flowers', The once prosperous landmark shooting location, Has once again become the focus of everyone's attention. And Shanghai Garden Hotel is one of them. In 1926, designed by French architects, It integrates the artistic essence of Baroque architecture, The ultimate expression of neoclassical style and decorative art Made it the most eye-catching 'French Club' on Xiafei Road at that time. The turbulent tide of the times also added stories about this building. The start of the Garden Hotel in 1986, The perfect integration of the new 33-story building and the old club building, Also made it one of the main scenes of the story of 'Blooming Flowers'. Mr. Wong Kar-wai, the Shanghai-born director of 'Blooming Flowers', He lived in the Garden Hotel for a long time in the 90s. Perhaps it was the inspiration the hotel gave him, Or the temperament of Shanghai itself, Gave birth to this TV series. The moment I stepped into Shanghai Garden Hotel, The first impression it gave me, It is the European architectural style and friendly service. The hotel's elegant double staircase in the east entrance hall and the banquet hall on the second floor: Baihua Hall, It shows the sense of the times and art of traditional historical buildings. And Shanghai Garden Hotel is currently co-operated with a Japanese hotel group, So it also embodies the Japanese 'people-oriented' intimate service, Reflected in every aspect from the room. Shanghai Garden Hotel has a total of 5 restaurants and 3 bars, French food, Japanese food and Cantonese food can satisfy the taste buds of all visitors. I experienced the 'European Restaurant' mainly based on French cuisine, Located on the top floor of the 33rd floor, it has an excellent dining view. The French cuisine managed by the Japanese chef, Stick to the authenticity of French cuisine, but also integrate the delicacy of Japanese style. Garden homemade foie gras sauce with beef clear soup jelly, The beef and foie gras sauce are fragrant but not greasy. Grilled sea bass with fresh tomato sauce The grilled sea bass retains the freshness of seafood, The sour and sweet of tomatoes has achieved the effect of flavor enhancement. The main course French iron steak, The chef skillfully cooks the steak to 5 minutes, Take a bite, the meat is tender and soft, and the aroma and oil juice spread in the mouth. The puff pastry cream vegetable soup, mojito frost and The cream coffee pudding with vanilla ice cream for dessert As a French side dish, they are all top choices. The night in Shanghai is intoxicating, After the meal, you can directly go to the sky lounge next to the restaurant, Looking at the night view, taste different cocktails. And the bar here is also one of the filming locations of 'Blooming Flowers', The pearl curtain partition that makes the space hazy, Reflects the current thoughts of the protagonist A Bao. Or go to the Night Fragrance Bar on the 3rd floor. Experience the historical appearance of the French club of the year, Feel the style of night Shanghai. It is said that Director Wong Kar-wai also stored 3 bottles of wine here It can be seen that the director is so fond of this hotel. Shanghai Garden Hotel, It is a century-old building with countless stories, Here I am just a passerby, I can't shoot a TV series as good as 'Blooming Flowers' What I can do is to record the experience of the hotel, Share with you. Tips: Shanghai Garden Hotel No. 58 Maoming South Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai
