Yannan Media University is a nationally renowned institution in the film and media industry, with many TV hosts, actors, and directors among its alumni.
The opening ceremony and award event of this year's Yannan University Student Film Festival were both to be held here, and Lu Ban naturally chose a hotel nearby — it was affordable and imbued with a youthful vibe.
