Impressions of Shenyang: Time Images of Luxury Living and Ancient Temples

In Shenyang, Haoze Xiridi Hotel and Shanmen Temple, one is a benchmark of modern light luxury travel, and the other is a historic ancient temple, together composing a unique travel symphony. Entering Haoze Xiridi Hotel, the vintage crystal chandeliers in the lobby emit a warm yellow glow, complementing the metallic decorations, as if stepping into old times. Standing on the spiral staircase with a magnificent chandelier as the backdrop, striking an elegant pose effortlessly creates a fashion shoot. The guest rooms are a treasure trove for travel photography, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows capturing the cityscape. In the morning, sunlight spills onto the soft bed; nestled by the bed, holding a cup of coffee, the lazy and cozy look is frozen by the camera; at night, the city lights shine brilliantly, standing by the window with a dazzling neon night view behind, revealing the romance of the city. In the afternoon, head to Shanmen Temple, an ancient temple rebuilt in 2008 but with a millennium of heritage, originally built by Tang Dynasty general Yuchi Jingde. Stepping into Shanmen, the redwood and gray tile buildings with carved beams and painted pillars come into view; the Mahavira Hall is solemn and dignified, appearing even more rustic surrounded by green trees. Strolling along the temple paths, mottled tree shadows fall on you; dressed in Hanfu and holding a prayer flag, every step echoes history. In front of the Sutra Library, gently touching the ancient walls, shooting from a low angle to frame the flying eaves, sky, and person together, full of Zen spirit. From the stylish refinement of Haoze Xiridi Hotel to the serene ancient charm of Shanmen Temple, the collision of two styles makes the Shenyang trip full of surprises. Every moment captured by the lens is a testament to the unique charm of this city.
