Sheila on my mind

Sheila was back to Xiamen few days ago , she was one of the first group of people working for Millennium Harbourview Hotel Xiamen since 1991 , perfect English , attractive personality and non-forgettable smiling.

People on the photos are with 15 years service to Millennium Xiamen hotel , can you imagine Sheila just be back to see us ? For her it was one of the most wonderful time in life , also we still remember Xiamen was such a nice small town and people are so friendly and you could chat with anybody residing along the street and drink tea ( Minnan Kungfu Tea) with them. As a tridition , Xiamen street is more like Singapore's style, Old Qilou buildings allowed all the residents take out their tea tables outside the door and enjoy life with everyone passing by. Time has changed , you hardly can see that ten years after , big buildings replacing all the old time dreams , people's steps being faster and faster .

Also Gulangyu island was unique , isolated , but easy for living . In 1991 all the staff for Haijing had a half year training in this world famed island,. If you ask Sheila , she will tell you every moment she spending there. The lane , the rock , the shore, the port...

Xiamen , Gulangyu , Sheila , you are always on our mind

Good Evening , Xiamen , Good Evening , Xiamen Millennium Hotel!

Night is always fascinating in Xiamen , I took a fun tour by BRT , the Bus rapid transit. To my great surprise , I was at the station of BRT and looked out and found our Millennium Harbourview Hotel Xiamen just standing there like a blue diamond .

And when I walked down to the ferry, this place is really a symbol of Xiamen , it is the origin and root of Xiamen . Take a look to the other side , yes, the Gulangyu Island , YOU will find the magic of Xiamen at night.

The very old harbour of Xiamen , like a piece of antique , a piece of treasure , live museum of Xiamen history .

All the above offered me a great evening , to stay in Xiamen is a bliss, all these magics are around you by walk . Of course I would not forget my work , all these are pictured and show you lively!

'lost Luggage Sue'

Sue is always losing her luggage , today did it again . Upon check in , she told me again she lost her luggage in Macau or somewhere else. Last year she also stayed in Millennium Harbourview Hotel Xiamen , of course luggage lost from airflight.

But she is really happy , because she knows she is home now. Sue is a professional Trainer and lecturer from US , and gave the staff from Millennium Harbourview Hotel Xiamen several classes on business communication and team work building when she was in Xiamen last time. All she did for Millennium Hotel is free , as she took it as a gift from God, ( she is a Christian ). We were moved by her passion for life and other people .


She was surprised by the decoration of Chriatmas in Millennium Xiamen. And we are wishing her to get her luggage back as soon as possible. Good luck, 'Lost Luggage Sue'!

Sue---left two

Merry Christmas from Millennium Harbourview Hotel Xiamen

Christmas is coming up , Santa Clause is around !


What an amasing sign you can find in Millennium Harbourview Hotel Xiamen ! This is the first Christmas since its rebrand to Millennium. New lobby , New Shape , New logo, but still the old people , it is a team of 17 years of hospitality , incredible people ! Enjoy their lives in service line , hospitality genius, that's what I can say.


Always hear people say , I stayed in your hotel 10 years ago , with a pride on face . Still some people call it Holiday Inn , that is one of the most popular name for the past 17 years , even Crowne Plaza was not known for most of the people . Until January 2008 , the name was changed to Millennium Harbourview Hotel Xiamen , slowly people accept the name Millennium. But Haijing is forever , there are so many stories about it , it is like a home for sure , guests and staff both enjoying ... it is hard to describe in words .

It is not simply meaning luxury , modern , international , or any words, it is the feeling , people from Kings to Noble prize owners , from Religion leaders to Business Giants, but more common people found their treats in Millennium Haijing hotel. Something suits them differently , more than service , touching the heart , connection indeed.

Life is like a movie , we are all actors . Hotel is like a stage , we all play it from the bottom of hearts.




"Reflect on your present blessings
of which every man has many,
not on your past misfortunes,
of which all men have some."
Charles Dickens

Dutch art exhibition in CEAC Xiamen University

friday, 28 Nov ,2008

An invitation made it possible for me to see two exhibitions from dutch artists in CEAC , Xiamen University.

one is ‘Sweet and Sour', painting exhibition from Jaring Lokhorst and Chantal Spit . They use diffferent material and display style to express the world , I was really freezed at the first sight , look at the pictures...

I met them at the exhibition and asked them for their signature , it is out of my expectation, they wrote on card against the back of each other for me. you can see the interesting pictures here and with their signature . I was almost in a sudden asking them for a cup of coffee to our hotel( Millennium Harbourview Hotel Xiamen) any time , they were surprised and very happy. So far I am still waiting for their coming.

The other one is phtopgraphy exhibition called 'Het Lente-eiland'---'the spring island', which directly means gulangyu island. I love photograph very much , and those pictures gave me lots of inspiration . I did not have a chance to see the artist Marco van Duyvendijk, but I am for sure to invite him to Millennium Xiamen Hotel for a cup of coffee if I see him... I like the colour he perceived , and I was also taking some pictures at the spot as the CEAC environment attracted me to . I will show in the next post , not to compare with the master level.

CEAC is Chinese Eurapean Art Center. Ineke is the Director, since 1999, she has been working on the center in Xiamen , making a lot of effort to bring Eurapean art to Xiamen , a great ambassador , I can say.

Second touch on Master class of conductor concert in Xiamen

Have the second chance to listen to the master class of conductor's concert on 22nd Nov, filled with Beethoven's passion , and I want to say , thank you Xiamen Philharmonic Orchestra, thank you , Zheng Xiao Ying.


From now on, I feel to have more time spending on concert , totally different from any stereo system in your home . Xiamen Philharmonic is the first class in China , even invited in some important occasions in the world . And the soul of Xiamen Philharmonic is Zheng Xiao Ying , she is just glamorous and admirable . A great orchestra derived from a great conductor , I strongly believe.

As Zheng Xiao Ying's saying, this first China Master Class opened in Xiamen is mainly because of her partner ,conductor Fu Ren Chang , the vice Director of Xiamen Philharmonic. He has good relations with great conductor teachers in the world and since April 2005 he was appointed as principal conductor by 'das sinfonie orchester berlin'. He is one of those musicians who can conduct in the famous Philharmonie Hall Berlin. I met him for the first time in Millennium Harbourview Hotel Xiamen when Prof. Panula stayed in Millennium Xiamen, he was such a man of scholars ,homour and passion for music.


The master class concert is over, but the passion has just begun ...
