High Table takes on a whole new meaning

A hotel in Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone in Shanghai offered dinner with a difference - 50 meters off the ground - on Friday. The unusual table plan can accommodate up to 22 diners and each meal lasts about 50 minutes including hoisting customers up and down. Costs range from 1,888 to 8,888 yuan ($302-$1,422) per person depending on choice of food. The hotel will offer 14 sittings, serving up to 308 people in three days. It will also operate in September and October. All diners are secured in their seats with waiters and cooks taking safety harnesses similar to those used in Bungee jumping. [Photo/IC]
