The rainstorm in Beijing "destroyed" the top luxury hotel: only 30 rooms at a cost of 800 million yuan

Affected by Typhoon Du Suri, Beijing has been experiencing heavy rainfall for several consecutive days since July 29th. Over the past day, most of the rainstorm in Beijing continued, and the related dangerous situation touched people's hearts.

On the evening of July 31st, a guest of Beijing Xitan Hotel posted a distress message on social media. It is reported that the hotel is located on the former site of Yangpo Yuanlao Village in Mentougou, west of Beijing, only kilometers away from the millennium old temple Tanzhe Temple. It is a member of the international top hotel alliance "Loire Chardonnay" and is also a benchmark project in the eyes of industry insiders. At present, the lobby of the hotel has been affected by floods, and some of the landscape outside the lobby has been severely damaged by water.

According to reports, the construction of Xitan Hotel took 8 years and cost 800 million yuan. It leans against the mountain and hides the building in a valley. The hotel covers an area of 13000 square meters, with 38 guest rooms and 17 courtyards. Each courtyard has its own scenery, and each household has its own private soup. The various garden landscapes are all designed by the famous Japanese landscaper, Kanji Nomura. According to information on the official website, due to the many scenic gardens and staggered steps in the hotel, in order to ensure the personal safety of children, visits and stays for children under the age of 12 are refused. In addition, there are seven ancient trees and two cultural monuments existing in the hotel for hundreds of years. Michelin 3-star Tristar is also listed in the New Glory Record, and the first Beijing Glory House banquet is held in Xitan.

On April 30th last year, the hotel opened a trial operation. Its daily room and night prices range from 6000 to 15000 yuan, which is equivalent to the first tier luxury hotels in Beijing, such as Bulgari, Wangfujing Wenhua Oriental, and Yihe Anman. At present, Xitan has closed all official mini programs, OTA platforms, and other booking channels.

80% of young people do not want to have a wedding due to troubles

As the saying goes, "marriage is a major event". As one of the major events in life, the attitude of young people towards marriage has always been a topic of social concern. With the changes of the times, people's views on marriage and their requirements for weddings are also constantly changing. A few days ago, @ Houlang Research Institute released a small survey on "ideal weddings" among young people. Are young people still willing to hold weddings now?

According to the "2023 Young People's Ideal Wedding Report", under a 10 point scale, the average willingness of contemporary young people to hold weddings is only 4.81 points, attempting to adhere to the principle of "only obtaining certificates and not holding seats". As for why they don't want to have a wedding, 80% of young people think it's "too much trivial and troublesome", and more than half of the respondents think it's "expensive" and "there are too many traditional wedding customs".

Both men and women believe that "blocking the door game" is the most unnecessary wedding event; Small and beautiful weddings are favored, with over half of young people hoping to DIY their own wedding creations. Lawns, weddings, and small islands are popular wedding locations for young people to pick up, and weddings witnessed by nature seem more meaningful!

In terms of wedding expenses, the survey selected the top 3 most valuable expenses as photographers, makeup artists, and cameramen. Although the average wedding expenses of the respondents were 147500 yuan, 90% of young people's wedding budgets were less than 100000 yuan.

The above two indicators have both maintained a downward trend for several consecutive months. Compared to the same period last year, both new and second-hand housing prices in Baicheng have shown a downward trend.

This is also the reason for the further decline in housing prices.
