As night fell, people rush home after a tiring day of work.

The street was lit. The night that should have been dull yet peaceful was once again reinvigorated. The city transformed before their eyes, full of vitality and life.

There existed a quiet and peaceful place in such a noisy city. It was a privately owned luxurious clubhouse. The tall and magnificent building displayed the characters—Paradise.

Hung outside the clubhouse, the word seemed absurd to many people.

But when one walked in, they would realize that these words were not a sham to attract crowds. "Paradise" was an accurate description of the place. In this materialistic city, there was indeed a paradise.

The design of the place was arranged according to Tao Yuanming"s (桃花源) "Peach Blossom Spring":

In the time of Jin Taizhong, a man from Wuling, who was a fisherman by trade, was travelling along the edge of a creek,

and forgot the distance of the route;

he suddenly chanced upon a peach blossom forest;

keeping by the sh.o.r.e, he moved a hundred paces;

inside there were no other trees,

and the fragrant gra.s.ses were fresh and beautiful;

the fallen leaves were a mix of colours,

the fisherman found it strange.

He continued onwards,

wanting to find the end of this forest

At the end of the forest and the creek,

he got to a mountain.

There was a small opening in the mountain, and it seemed like there was light, so he abandoned his boat and went in.
