Xiamen Guesthouse | The enchanting beauty of the celestial inn described by Yu Dafu

Timeless romance
Encounter the poetic aesthetics of French-style architecture from the Republic of China era

*
The red brick walls adorned with creeping vines
Wrought iron balconies lightly holding a fragment of the setting sun
Whispers of time linger between the colonnades

*
Dreams of the past float on the terrace
Dark green glazed tiles form geometric moonlight
A brass table lamp casts a warm haze on teak shutters
As if, in the next moment,
A lady in a cheongsam will push open the enamel glass door
Letting the champagne-colored silk hem sweep across the terrazzo staircase

*
We need not question which piece of stained glass belongs to the Republic of China
Or which molding hails from Paris
When the morning light gilds the floral walls with a honeyed hue
The entire building falls into a cross-century aesthetic synesthesia
