Beijing Biz Trip May 2011 Day 1 P2

Will be staying at Hong Kong Jockey Club, Beijing Clubhouse for this trip. The Beijing Clubhouse is situated in the prestigious Wangfujing area, in the heart of Beijing City. This was a members' exclusive clubhouse & I was fortunate to stay here, thanks to Owen.

My "home" for the next 5 days.

The room occupied a spacious 53 sqm! Gosh, that's like half of my entire house - this is what happens when you live in land-abundance countries.

Even the toilet is bigger than my bedroom, with walk-in closet (yippee!) and equipped with rain shower.

Cheongsam top to blend in with the locals, haha!

They even prepared a bag of essentials for female occupants, which contained lip balm, sanitary napkins, stockings, body lotion etc.

Best of all, they are using L'Occitane, one of my fave!

Stumbled upon this on the study table ..... initially, I thought it was some chinese martial arts book for bedtime reading.

Such an exquisite box just to contain stationary.

Postcards for the loved ones back home.

Since Owen had yet to arrive from HK, I took a walk around the clubhouse, to familiarize with the surroundings.

Ma Zhanchun, an artist who creates art works for the clubhouse, has created over 1,000 art works for the Beijing clubhouse; the 'Hundred Horses' picture hanging in the hall is one of them.

The architects of the Beijing Clubhouse have chosen to blend the traditional courtyards of the Ming and Qing Dynasties with contemporary architectural concepts to create a masterpiece of modern aesthetics.

The four garden courtyards are themed according to the four seasons, mirroring the harmonious union of the earth, humans and the celestial. More coming up!
