[A Lakeside Adventure Through Republican China]

“I discovered a breathing red-brick designer hotel inside Changde's Daxiaohe Street! 🚪The moment I pushed open the carved wooden door, it was as if I had traveled back to Shanghai in 1919—retro crystal chandeliers, velvet sofas, leather suitcases, even the staircase is the same style as the one in the old Shanghai TV series *Blossoms*! 🤵A butler dressed in a long Republican-era gown brought me an English-French afternoon tea. He was 100% good-looking👍, I give this immersive experience 100 points!”
