Chrysanthemums Blooming at the Expo and Elegant Light at Haoze Xiruide: Shenyang Expo Garden and Haoze Xiruide Hotel

In autumn in Shenyang, on one side is the natural brilliance of thousands of chrysanthemums blooming in the Expo Garden, and on the other is the modern elegance infused with art at Haoze Xiruide Hotel. The collision of these two scenes creates a unique travel rhythm, capturing the season’s exclusive beauty and urban sophistication through the lens.

Stepping into the chrysanthemum exhibition at Shenyang Expo Garden is like falling into a sea of colorful flowers. Millions of chrysanthemums line the paths, with petals in layers of golden yellow, pink, and dark purple, some spreading like butterfly wings, others curling like pom-poms. In the Chinese-style chrysanthemum garden, white chrysanthemums paired with black-tiled flower windows invite you to stroll in a light apricot qipao. Gently touching the petals, the red walls and blooming flowers reflect on the flowing fabric, and every snapshot is a classical and elegant autumn masterpiece. Beside the European-style flower beds, sulfur cosmos and Persian cosmos intertwine. Wearing a denim jacket with a floral dress, running and capturing the moment petals fall, the scene is full of vibrant autumn energy. On sunny days, afternoon sunlight bathes the flower fields, gilding each chrysanthemum with a golden edge. Standing under the flower trellis with a gentle smile, the interplay of light and color makes every frame as bright as an oil painting.

As dusk deepens, leaving the romantic flower fields behind and entering Haoze Xiruide Hotel, the scene instantly shifts to a modern art travel photo setting. In the lobby’s 10-meter-high space, a giant fluid painting of blue, purple, and gold foil intertwines, echoing the brilliance of the chrysanthemums. Standing before the painting and making a heart gesture with your hand, the sense of fashion and art is fully expressed. Next to the vintage leather sofa, the warm light from the floor lamp highlights the dried flower arrangement on the table. Holding a cup of hot honey grapefruit tea and leaning against it, the lazy yet cozy atmosphere is instantly captured.

The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows in the guest rooms are a treasure photo spot. In the morning, autumn sunlight streams through the glass onto the bedding. Curling up by the window and flipping through daytime Polaroids feels gentle and healing. At night, neon lights flicker outside the window, and warm indoor lights turn on. Sitting at the dressing table, pinning a dried chrysanthemum to your hair, the mirror reflects the dazzling night view, perfectly blending a sense of life and refinement. In the gym on the 24th floor, stretching by the floor-to-ceiling window lets you capture your posture while including Shenyang’s autumn skyline in the frame, harmonizing urban vitality with the hotel’s style.

From the magnificent chrysanthemum sea at the Expo Garden to the artistic elegance of Haoze Xiruide, these two styles outline Shenyang’s diverse autumn charm, making every photo a city memory filled with the sweetness of autumn.
