When Xi'an meets French romance, a luxurious living experience through time and space

When Xi'an meets French romance, a luxurious living experience through time and space Stepping into the Sofitel Legend People's Grand Hotel Xi'an is like opening a weighty storybook interwoven with history and romance. The hotel's carved iron gate seems like a portal to a bygone era. Pushing it open, the shadows of French pillars gently fall on the antique floor tiles from 1953, and the interplay of light and shadow brings the charm of history to life. The revolving door is adorned with irises, and each rotation is like a gentle dance, welcoming me into this space that blends French elegance with the essence of Xi'an. From my room, I experienced unique views. In the morning, the sun awakened me, and as I opened the window of the south-facing room, the ancient charm of the city wall instantly poured in. A young woman in Hanfu strolled along the moat carrying a lantern, a scene resembling a flowing ancient painting. In the afternoon, I went to the west-facing window and watched the sun dye the green dome of the People's Grand Hall an amber hue, as if time itself had slowed down. Every corner of the hotel is a perfect photo spot. At 10 am, the spiral staircase, outlined by light and shadow, resembles a dreamy spiral. A low-angle shot captures this beauty perfectly. Inside the antique elevator, a selfie in the metallic cabin needs no extra editing to create a fashionable masterpiece. At the arch of the long corridor, a wide-angle lens perfectly blends my silhouette with the retro architecture. At night, framing the Bell Tower from the room's window and using a long exposure, the brightly lit Bell Tower becomes the most dazzling presence in the photo, like a luminous pearl in the night. My time at the Sofitel Legend People's Grand Hotel Xi'an was a profound experience of culture and romance. It allows French flair to collide and blend with Xi'an's thousand-year-old heritage. Every moment is intoxicating, every detail worth savoring, making it an unforgettable luxurious journey.
