Renaissance Tianjin Lakeview, Tianjin, China


All the proof you need that China will one day overtake us is in this shower!

At first glance, it is everything I hate about showers: handheld showerhead, rain shower, glass doors that probably leak. Look again!

• The handheld showerhead stayed in place! And, more importantly, it stayed in the place I put it. I finally understand what every other hotel has been trying to do with their adjustable showerheads! The Chinese may lack certain freedoms, but they are free to choose the height and angle of their showerheads. (If they are staying in luxury hotels.)
• Rain shower. Optional! After taking an effective and efficient shower with the abovementioned showerhead, you can turn on the rain shower! The Chinese get it! It is not for getting any actual showering done. The rain shower is just for fun!
• Glass doors. Actually contained all of the water. Credit is also due to the floor ledge—perfect height!
• See that shelf in the shower that is holding all of my stuff? It’s at the perfect height for me!
• See that handle? Great location! Also note my hanging loofah. It can completely dry out from that position. It’s not touching the wall!
• And! It had a separate GIANT bathtub (not pictured).
