So close, so beautiful, spend the weekend in Hebei
This easily overlooked small city 🌆 Langfang
Only 20 minutes by high-speed train from Beijing 🚄
Not only does it have the wildly popular "Only Dream of the Red Chamber" play
It also has a palace-level art space, the "Silk Road Center"
The exterior building, resembling flowing clouds 🏠, was designed by designer Yoshinori Chidori
Every detail inside is unique, and every snap 📷 looks like a masterpiece!
It is also a partner theater of the National Centre for the Performing Arts
There are often great performances 🎭 and art 🎨 exhibitions
If you love watching plays and exhibitions, you can't miss this place!
To appreciate the beauty of the interior architecture 🏠, be sure to check in at these spots
❣️ Opera Hall
Three floors, with a design style echoing the ancient Silk Road
❣️ Diamond 💎 Concert Hall
Stunningly beautiful, listening to a concert here is a double visual and auditory shock 😎
❣️ Yunxiang Space
Pure white background, rows of shining lights, this space can even host weddings—I can't imagine how beautiful and dreamy a wedding here would be!
