Thirty years ago on Caoling Mountain in Yunlin, a child who loved to dream dreamt of building
the most beautiful hotel in Taiwan one day, a hotel that everyone would want to visit. Today,
the dream has come true. The Lalu, a new milestone in Taiwan’s hospitality industry, has redefined
the resort hotel in Taiwan and given “the vacation of a lifetime” new meaning.
The boy who loved to dream is today a middle-aged man with grey hair, Lai Cheng-I, President of Shining Group.
He believes people should hold on to their dreams, not letting go of them easily, and work hard to create history.
Life is not about having abundant wealth, but about using what you have. When The Lalu was completed,
Mr Lai felt strongly about these words. For that reason, he made a decision to open The Lalu as a private
guest accommodation for good friends with same interests to drink, talk happily and share experiences
and creativity.
In years past, the people who came in and out the Lalu Building were either presidents or generals.
It was nearly impossible for common people to view what it was like inside. Today, to commemorate
the establishment of the building, The Lalu is accepting applications from the top 500 leaders
and influential figures in Taiwan society for membership in the reaching of perfection for this
new century.
