Qingdao, China, 20 June 2016 –Established in Turkey in 2012, “Global Wellness Day” is held every year on the second Saturday of June as the first international day dedicated to living well. Shangri-La Hotel, Qingdao has been particularly active in celebrating "Global Wellness Day" ever since. Following the launch of its “Free Open Day” at the Health Club on June 11, Shangri-La Hotel, Qingdao celebrated “Global Wellness Day” with a range of outdoor-themed activities on June 18, encouraging guests and local residents to engage in a green, healthy lifestyle in pursuit of an “escape” from within.
On this day, Shangri-La Hotel, Qingdao invited 80 guests and Health Club members to enjoy a “Stride by the Seaside”. Such simple, efficient aerobics were a great way to motivate them to develop healthy exercise habits. “Stride by the Seaside” was approximately five kilometres (round-trip), starting from May 4th Square and running along the coast to “Cislunar” Sculpture Square. This trip also saw participants doing dance fitness aerobics on Music Square, a total show-stopper drawing huge crowds. Environmentally-friendly cups and water were offered in a move to promote the idea of sustainability by using green cups instead of plastic water bottles.
Back at the Health Club, after nearly two hours of outdoor aerobics, participants joined a meditation yoga session at the tennis court under the instruction of the coach and learned to find their inner calm and peace while being fully immersed in a world of well-being. Then, after health lunch was offered, Shangri-La Hotel, Qingdao staff guided participants on how to control their food calorie-intake and have a balanced diet.
Through “Global Wellness Day”, Shangri-La Hotel, Qingdao aimed to spread the message of adopting a positive and healthy lifestyle. All guests who participated in this event said they gained new insights into the idea of a healthy lifestyle and how they can go about living more fulfilling and meaningful lives every day.
