Symmetrical staircases full of artistic sense

White square metal frames, intricate steel structures, and the floor are suitable for taking silhouette photos

It's renewed again/Every time you enter/It's the pure enjoyment version
🏮 The familiar National Grand Theater is renewed every time I visit, not only to appreciate the wonderful presentations of concerts, dance, and other arts, but also to experience the constantly changing visual impact of entering this prestigious venue. 🌇 From the well-arranged decorations, exhibitions, sculptures, and the overall atmosphere, it has become a process that offers a superb experience. 🎭
👁️ To watch a performance, it's best to go to the Grand Theater early, where various art exhibitions and cultural and creative displays are always refreshing. The specialty stores with classic or trendy vinyl records and CDs are dazzling and instantly immersive. 🎑; The prelude performances offered in the central hall's rest area are quite engaging, worth stopping to enjoy for a while, or you can sit at the water bar and have a drink or something to eat in a leisurely, aimless wait. 🧑🌾
🌗 This night, accompanied by a gentle drizzle, walking on the dimly lit Chang'an Street, in the romantic early summer, carrying the pleasure of enjoying the enchanting singing, everything is so healing and beautiful, worth savoring over and over again🩸!

Xichang'an Street
The most central street in the city, so beautiful!
The color red ignites the passion within!!! Red lights, red flags, a sea of red
Over twenty years of tremendous changes
This place still remains a spot where my heart feels at ease, tranquil, and content!!!
From free activities to requiring advance reservations, I missed the chance to step right into the heart of it
I observe from a distance and record you with my phone
The hurried twenty-plus years
