From 2005 to 2008, after 3 years of hard work, it is apparent that it was all worthwhile today.

We wish her a great future
growing along with this city !

Special thanks to Anita Chen, Ningbo Marriott Marcom Manager for her great help.

Please note that Ningbo Marriott Hotel
is not yet open to the public.
Official date will be confirmed later.
