"Blossoms" Reappears Near Chengdu, Stepping into Wong Kar-wai's Cinematic World in an Instant

Just an hour's drive from Chengdu, Hidden Dragon Lake is home to an Indigo Hotel that recreates the charm of "Blossoms"—featuring Western Sichuan mansion architecture, rickshaws, clock towers, and cheongsam-clad beauties... as if the romance of the 1990s from Wong Kar-wai's lens has been frozen in time. The black-and-white checkered tiles of the spiral staircase and the dappled light filtering through stained glass windows create frame-worthy compositions, with every shot evoking the ambiguity and nostalgia of "In the Mood for Love."
