The Bund's C-position, a century-old legend | Peace Hotel, the first building in the Far East

· When talking about hotels in Shanghai, the Peace Hotel is a must-mention! Formerly known as the Cathay Hotel, the Peace Hotel was the most famous hotel in Shanghai in the 1930s. The Peace Hotel has witnessed half of Shanghai's history. · Over the past half-century, more than 50 films have been shot at the Peace Hotel, including well-known titles such as "The Silent War," "Center Stage," "Tiny Times," "Love Trilogy," and "Shanghai Triad." · In preparation for the Shanghai World Expo, the Peace Hotel underwent a complete renovation in 2007. Workers discovered exquisite skylights hidden behind the original plasterboard, which was big news at the time. The renovated Peace Hotel retains the charm of old Shanghai while incorporating the sophistication of a modern luxury hotel. Under Fairmont's management, the hotel rooms maintain the style of the 1930s, with a soft palette of light yellow and blue, combined with comfortable modern facilities. The decor is stylish and luxurious, and the nine national-themed suites have been favored by many celebrities, such as Bao Zong in "Blossoms Shanghai." · Best photo spots: 1. The central dome in the lobby is very impressive, with beautiful octagonal stained glass and geometric lines, exuding unparalleled legendary charm. 2. Tiny Times photo spot: There is a lobby area on the east side near the Bund, with symmetrical stairs that were featured in "Tiny Times." Each area has a different dome, and the waffle dome above is stunning. 3. Spiral staircase: The spiral staircase at the Peace Hotel is a must-see. The 7th floor is the best spot for photographing the spiral staircase, offering a vintage old Shanghai vibe. 4. Corridor: The corridor on the side of the lobby has a strong sense of depth, with a cinematic feel. 5. Cathay Room terrace on the top floor: The Cathay Room is the highest point on the Bund, offering the best view of the Bund's architectural complex. The building opposite the side corridor is also beautiful. 6. Hotel entrance: The historic hotel entrance is also a great photo spot. It's recommended to include the hotel doorman in the photo for a special effect.
