Splendid Liuli Workshop, Paying Tribute to Forbidden City Aesthetics

On April 18, Beijing JinYu Sheraton Hotel is launching something amazing! The "Palace Heights" official Liuli art exhibition opens, bringing the Purple Forbidden City's Liuli workshop directly to the hotel lobby, transforming it into a classical aesthetic space. 🐲Upon entering, you'll be captivated by the Liuli ridge beasts on the eaves—just like those on the Hall of Supreme Harmony! Dragon scales and phoenix feathers shimmer under the lights, and even the coffee latte art features ridge beast designs. Every photo feels like a palace scene! 🛠️The "Hands-on Experience" exhibition area is fascinating! It turns out a single roof tile goes through more than 20 processes. Craftsmen use Mentougou crucible clay and "read the fire color to tell time" in 1300°C kilns. The 1:1 replica of a large chiwen (dragon fish) ridge ornament is taller than a person, with dragon scale patterns so detailed you can see fingernail marks—absolutely incredible! 🦁The "Five Elements and Five Colors" exhibition area is worth exploring slowly. The peacock blue glaze and bright yellow Liuli cups exude nobility, while the five-colored Liuli tea sets have twenty-four solar terms hidden in their gilt patterns. The brass ridge beast bookmarks are adorable, especially the little xiezhi beast resting on the book pages! ☕️You must try the "Liuli Rainbow" afternoon tea! Green bean cakes carved into tile patterns, amber candy with frozen Liuli light effects, and the "Purple Forbidden Twilight" special drink is amazing—butterfly pea flower tea meets a Liuli ice ball, instantly transforming into the color of sunset on palace walls! Ladies, remember to wear beautiful neo-Chinese style clothing to experience this tribute to Forbidden City aesthetics!
