Grand Hotel-Legend of Grand Mountain
The Historical Origin of Grand Hotels
Located in the southwest of Qinjian Mountain in Taipei City, Yuanshan Hotel is one of the representative landmarks in Taipei and one of the top ten hotels in the world. On the occasion of the National Day of 1962, the Grand Hotel built a 14-storey palace, which made it shine brilliantly in the development of international tourism, especially with its antique artistic conception and magnificent momentum, which was world-famous.
Architectural style of hotel
The original site of Yuanshan Hotel was once a shrine in Taiwan Province Province during the Japanese occupation. A large number of dragon sculptures are used in buildings in China. Some people also call the hotel "Dragon Palace". Besides dragons, there are also patterns commonly used in China architecture, such as stone lions and plum blossoms. The China Palace-style pattern of the hotel can be roughly divided into the main building, the Golden Dragon Hall, the Cuifeng Hall and the Kirin Hall. The halls are luxuriously and elegantly decorated, and the back hill is the housekeeping department, which is often the place where the state receives foreign heads of state. Each hall is hung with colorful painted beams, Zhu Danzhu and splendid paintings and reliefs, such as Kangren Snow Mountain, Dongtian Mountain Hall, Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, Duke Zhou's reliefs and ceremonies, all of which are from famous artists.
Others, such as various intricate bonsai stones and continuous marble stair railings, are known as the Ming-style and mahogany furniture in the lobby and rooms of the largest hotel in the world, with the flavor of ancient China. Grand Hotel used to be a high-level occasion for aristocratic banquets, a state guesthouse in charge of diplomatic relations, and also experienced a lot of Taiwan Province Province's past. In addition to its magnificent and exquisite sculptural appearance, the hotel's reputation as a "royal chef" makes its catering standards internationally renowned.
Authentic Legend Hotel
Due to the strong political color of the hotel in the former President Jiang Gong's era, an underground stone passage was built, about 180 meters long. Built at 65,438+0963, it is divided into east and west parts, and there is a slideway leading to Tan Jian Park and Bei 'an Park outside the hotel. Unfortunately, it is not open to the public at present, and it is impossible to explore the legend of the tunnel.
