Shichahai Shadow Art Performance Hotel values travel as an interactive boost between man and his environment, to admire the original beauty of a city and the cultural depths of a country. Holding this believe, the hotel came up with something that haven't been done before in China: An opera-house structured exquisite accommodation. The installation of Chinese shadow art theater and a small library are one integrated theme, and on this platform the hotel builds its unique cultural gallery. Chinese Shadow Puppetry is an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment using opaque, this kind of art origins from China and spread out to middle East and Europe in 17th century. Nowadays, shadow art is gradually losing in China since the modern bustling lives mask people from the beauty of culture. Shichahai Shadow Art Performance Hotel is now trying to protect this endangered intangible cultural heritage by putting this element into the hotel design, yet the design is a breakthrough from mere repetitions of historical customs and a brainchild of modern trendy style fused with the almost lost tradition of shadow art. It is the debut of "cultural themed boutique hotel.”
