Exploring the Beauty of Chinese Zen at The Ritz-Carlton, Financial Street

🎏As the beloved little princess of Ritz, of course, I have to spend this Children's Day at The Ritz-Carlton~ 🏨This time, I stayed at The Ritz-Carlton Beijing, Financial Street, experiencing a unique Chinese oriental design and the consistent Ritz-Carlton hospitality. 🌆Nestled among the towering buildings of Financial Street, yet surrounded by greenery, the hotel's design incorporates the balance of Chinese aesthetics, painting a picture of art within the city. 🎐The elegance of Tang Dynasty culture has been passed down through the ages, with poetry and dreams creating splendid chapters. Unlike the flamboyance and luxury of Western architecture, Chinese design emphasizes restraint and Zen. Every corner is filled with the wonders of Feng Shui. Who says 'old money style' is too over-the-top? If you take good photos, it exudes a sense of sophistication. Here are some photo spots you can check out: 1️⃣ Hotel Entrance: The square atrium and circular fountain form a contrast and balance with the concept of 'round sky and square earth,' seemingly coincidental but deeply meaningful. 2️⃣ Ginkgo Hall: The Ginkgo Hall at the hotel's east entrance has a pool of still water, complementing the dynamic fountain outside the entrance. The well-designed staircase is very photogenic. 3️⃣ Hotel Lobby: The two-story high 'Longevity' begonia window lattice, the well-lit giant atrium, and the lush small-leaved banyan make the entire lobby spacious and filled with natural light, as if immersed in the natural fragrance of plants. 4️⃣ Yin-Yang Stone Sculptures: In the hotel lobby and Ginkgo Hall, there are two marble stones weighing 1500 kilograms each, representing 'Yin' and 'Yang.' The pure white texture and meticulously sculpted natural curves concretize the abstract concepts of 'Yin' and 'Yang.' 5️⃣ Gentleman's Bamboo: The hotel corridor features 60,000 resin bamboo leaves cascading down from the two-story high wall. Although they lack the green color, the interlaced bamboo leaves create a cloud-like effect, bringing a stronger visual impact. 6️⃣ Cloud Pattern Gold Pillars: The elegant cloud patterns are everywhere in the hotel, like the 'blank space' in traditional Chinese paintings, offering infinite imagination. There are also seven golden pillars in the hotel lobby extending from the first floor to the second floor, symbolizing a smooth ascent. 7️⃣ Glazed Beasts: In front of each room, there is a small, pure-colored glazed beast, representing 'Pixiu,' 'Steed,' 'Mandarin Duck,' and 'Bat,' symbolizing wealth, career success, marital bliss, and boundless good fortune. 🥂In addition, the Four Seasons Restaurant resembling swimming fish, the pool with a giant screen projection, and the executive lounge with a fantastic view are all worth checking out~ Take your kids to The Ritz-Carlton, Financial Street to experience the beauty of Zen and embark on a unique 'national style' exploration!
