About

The Chinese word "旅馆" is formed by combining two characters: "旅", which originally depicts a group of people under a banner, symbolizing travel or a journey, and "馆", which represents a building or establishment for accommodation or service. Together, they create a conceptual compound where "旅" conveys the idea of travelers and "馆" indicates a physical place, thus directly meaning a "traveler's building" or inn, effectively conveying the concept of a hotel through this intuitive pictorial and semantic fusion.
