Shangri-La Hotel, Beijing, Beijing

I am impressed when I first arrived the hotel lobby. It's not like a hotel in a developing country. The rooms are luxurious. It's like hotel venetian in Vegas but newer. It cost me $90 per night, which is high considering the living standard of Beijing. But it's by far the best value hotel I have ever stayed(by the US living standard). It also got a big gym and a big pool. Although it might be kind of odd that the next block or two are some really old and dirty streets, it reflects the true color of beijing which is transitioning from the communism to the capitalism. Highly recommeneded for people who are looking for a nice and safe place to stay during their visit to china.
