The Jinma Palace Hotel

Extravagant doesn't even come close. This hotel had an entire multi-storey shopping center, massage parlours, gym, pool, etc... It was just crazy. Below is a daytime shot of the lobby...yes, that's right, the lobby. Our rooms we're incredible and there wasn't anything you couldn't order with the touch of a button.

My kung-fu brother and good friends Eric and Spencer also gave an excellent performance on the grand piano shown in the distance, while we waited for tour-guide Tony to organize the room keys. Many of us (if not all) had no idea these two excellent individuals had musical talent, but lo and behold there it was. 


Complete with intricate decor, and expensive-looking art this hotel spared no expense in delivering the 'wow' factor




(Above) Video shot of the fountain in the front of our hotel. I know I posted this earlier, but it goes with these images better, don't you think? =)

(Below) Photo of the strip in front of our hotel.  Almost everyone in my group had the explorer bug bite them and  were eager to see as much in our relatively short stay as possible and so after we checked in, many of us departed for adventure....without a clue as to which direction we should start in. =D

And the front of our hotel in Wuxi looked like...


A short clip showing the brightly lit water fountain deco in the parking lot of our hotel in Wuxi. After an incredibly long day on the bus we we're relieved to be getting some quality 'off-bus' time. Our arrival however was late in the evening, but that still didn't stop some of my kung-fu brothers and sisters from tracking down a good time. It was off to the waterfront for drinks and such. Incredible weather; light breeze, warm but not too warm. I think for most of us the thrill of being there was still at it's peak with no signs of abating.

That video peek I promised you


The outside of our 5-star hotel in Shanghai, China. Elegant inside and out and the staff we're extremely attentive. This was by far one of the best exercise rooms/pool areas in our whole excursion.
