Shanghai: Why Not Get Drunk in the Longest Night of Shanghai?

Old and antique revolution door, the light-wind old-fashioned ceiling fan, the hazy and and dim droplight, the outdated leather sofas, the pitch-black wooden bar counter, Sassoon octagonal table... All of this present you a sentiment of nostalgia and romance. Leisurely and quiet, but still magnificent—this is the first impression the Peace Hotel left on me when I in a Shanghai Xian tour.

In this beautiful night, I’d like to let my memory go back away to the past, lean against the wall and have a taste of wine, listening to the melodic notes.

The jazz bar of the Peace Hotel is hailed as “the most romantic place of Shanghai”. Here has a goup of renowned jazz band, that is the world-famous Old Jazz Band of Peace. Its signature Old Jazz Band was still playing pre-war favourites, with some of the original octogenarian musicians.

The old jazz band is said to be a legend itself. The average age of the musicians is above 77. And its performance has been the repertoire of the Peace Hotel since 1980s. They have performed for many statesmen and personages, including U.S. President Jimmy Carter and Reagan. The history has been old, but the music is still young.
