Taking its heritage from the Opium dens of 1920’s Shanghai, Golden Monkey reflects the Shanghai of today. As China’s window to the west, Shanghai is awash with elements of the traditional blending seamlessly with the temptations the New World has to offer. Large wooden screens, imported Chinese antique furniture, luxurious leather couches, low lamps and intimate nooks help create a distinct Opium Den feel with the promise of mystery and decadence.
