Editor's Letter;
On August 27, 2010, International Olympic Committee President Jacque Rogge arrived Nanjing from Singapore, to investigate and direct Nanjing's preparation for 2014 Youth Olympic Games. 5 years ago, President Rogge stayed at Jinling to attend the 10th National Games of the People's Republic of China undertaken by Nanjing local government.  He again instigated an explosion of activity and exuberance in Nanjing after 5 years, welcomed again with exceptional attention by Jinling Hotel Nanjing, The Purple Palace Nanjing and Jinling Convention Center Nanjing. Looking ahead to 2014, Jinling will contribute to spreading the Olympic spirit using its hospitality; receiving guests from home and abroad.

President Rogge stepped out of the car, greeting Chairman Li Jianwei of Jinling Hotel Nanjing first: Glad to see you again, I remember staying here 5 years ago. hairman Li smiled: Our hotel staff happily looked forward to seeing you when they heard the good news that you would visit again!

At the welcome party on the same day, President Rogge tasted a familiar flavor, just as delicious as he had enjoyed 5 years ago——Fried Dumplings Stuffed with Beef and Cabbage and a specially prepared White Gourd stuffed with Snails.  Jinling Hotel amazed President Rogge by combining Western ingredients with Oriental cooking styles.  He praised the flavor of these dishes again and again: It was so unexpected to taste snails cooked in this way! It's really a surprise! I could say that this is the most delicious dish I have ever tasted in China!

President Rogge and his party stayed at The Purple Palace Nanjing, their rooms cradled in the magnificent landscape of Purple Mountain situated near the tranquil lake, all impressing President Rogge and his wife deeply.  They walked the tree-lined avenues daily. Mr. Rogge took pictures with hotel staff and expressed gratitude towards their meticulous service before leaving.  He highly praised the beautiful scenery of thehotel.  As a parting gift to the Purple Palace Nanjing, Mr. Rogge wrote a note to hotel staff, Thanks for the great hospitality.
