SHANGHAI, CHINA (SEPTEMBER 2012) –The Marriott Hotels of Shanghai, namely JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai at Tomorrow Square, Shanghai Marriott Hotel City Centre, Renaissance Courtyard by Marriott Shanghai Puxi, Shanghai Yu Garden Hotel, Renaissance Shanghai Putuo Hotel, courtyard by Marriott Shanghai Pudong, Courtyard by Marriott Shanghai Xujiahui, Renaissance Shanghai Zhongshan Park Hotel, Shanghai Marriott Hotel Luwan, Renaissance Shanghai Yangtze Hotel, Renaissance Shanghai Pudong Hotel, Shanghai Marriott Hotel Changfeng Park, Shanghai Marriott Hotel Hongqiao, Renaissance Shanghai Caohejing Hotel, Courtyard by Marriott Shanghai Jiading support The One Million Dumplings Project.

 

The cluster’s latest F&B campaign, launched in July, was created to benefit the lives and education of migrant children citywide, while offering its guests a traditional taste of Shanghai – the steamed meat dumpling or Xiao Long Bao.

 

Reasonably priced at RMB 12 for a set of six, a wide selection of traditional xiao long bao will be on offer at each property’s outlet featuring local cuisine, with a RMB 1 donation per order in support of Compassion for Migrant Children. It is the Marriott Hotels of Greater Shanghai’s goal to reach a purchase of one million dumplings within the next 6 month. For more information or reservations, contact your individual property directly.

 

Partnered with the Yanbian Livestock Development Group Co. Ltd. and via cooperation with the National Commission for Ethnic Minority Affairs, Marriott Hotels of Greater Shanghai is proud to now supply “Benfu Yanbian Yellow Cattle Beef” to all its hotel outlets citywide.

 

Yanbian Yellow Cattle, product of the Yanbian Livestock Development Group Co. Ltd., is one of the five main beef brands in China boasting over 150 years in cultivation and breeding experience. Raised in the Changai Mountains of the northern Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, this high-grade beef is suitable for both Chinese and Western dishes.

 

For those sweet tooths keen on green, Marriott shanghai is featuring organic honey harvested by the Guanba Bee Farming Cooperative, the very first grant recipient of Marriott’s Nobility of Nature program.

 

Introduced by Marriott International in early 2012, the Nobility of Nature program provides grants to rural Sichuan province communities that adopt sustainable economic activities like honey and mushroom farming, instead of destructive practices like deforestation for farming or grazing. By promising to adopt these livelihoods, locals are helping to protect the Yangtze River watershed, which supports approximately 400 million people and is the largest source of fresh water on the planet. All sales proceeds will go toward additional cooperative support, including beekeeping equipment and training.
