PHILHARMONIC HOTEL ^{* * *}

Next to the southern gate of the University of Sichuan (四川大学) stands this huge building whose entrance is guarded - nothing that - by a white-tailed piano. We are told that we did not understand the musical concept of the neighbourhood (several buildings display names of the same kind) but one thing is certain: The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was very close to the train station and the train station was very nice.
