南巷酒楼北调旅馆
[nán xiàng jiŭ lóu bĕi diào lǚ guăn]
The name can be interpreted as a juxtaposition of contrasting environments: 'South Lane Wine Shop and North Inn.' The first part (South Lane Wine Shop) may evoke a scene of leisure, cultural elegance, and perhaps romance or reunion in old China. Meanwhile, the second part (North Inn) could imply the transient nature of travelers' lodging and a certain loneliness or adventure.
