About Marn Hotellfasiliteter
Ved å inspirere fra festlige snacks fra tradisjonell Tainan-kultur (en gammel by i Taiwan full av kulturminner), ved å transformere dem til et sett med hotellfasiliteter, betyr denne serien med festlige snacks alltid kjent for det lokale som "Marn", å oppfylle i kinesisk kultur; skilpadde-formet ris kake som håndsåpe og såpedisk, mung bønne kake som toalettsaker, tang yuan søt klatring som håndkrem og steames bun & amp; Tainan brunt sukker bun kake som tesett. Tainan kulturarv kan være utbredt for hele verden, siden hotellet er en fin plattform for å fremme lokal kultur.
