On Thursday 29 November 2018, Shangri-La Hotel, Tianjin gathered guests, friends and associates for the joyful celebration of its annual Tree Lighting Ceremony. During the event, a choir and orchestra of 63 students from the International School of Tianjin wearing traditional Tang suits performed beloved Christmas carols, as the grand 7-metre Christmas tree in the hotel lobby was resplendently illuminated.
Exclusively for Shangri-La Hotel, Tianjin’s 2018/2019 Festive Season, the hotel collaborated with Tianjin-based artist Lucie Wong to create a series of bespoke illustrations. Entitled Mermaid, the collection of vivid, complex sketches draws you into a magical landscape filled with the spirit of Christmas. "Tradition can't be held in the past, it can only be enhanced with new beauty otherwise it will become isolated," says artist Lucie Wong.
A selection of art pieces, including postcards, scarves and decorative paintings were featured in the Charity Sale during the Tree Lighting Ceremony, with all proceeds going to Cathay Future’s Healing Young Hearts programme supporting children fighting severe illnesses in Tianjin hospitals. Helping those in need in our community is an important focus for Shangri-La Hotel, Tianjin and in the past year, the hotel has raised RMB139,080 through various community events and activities to assist Healing Young Hearts. During his speech, General Manager Mr. Jason Stinson thanked attendees for their great support throughout the year and raised a glass to the exciting festivities to come throughout December.
The Tree Lighting Ceremony marks the start of Shangri-La Hotel, Tianjin’s 2018/2019 Festive Season, which is jam-packed with special events and holiday promotions to celebrate together. Mark your calendars for the following events:
