In Spring City, a touch of red spreads throughout a 219m-tall building!

On check-out day, I called a car. The driver seemed to have a poor sense of direction and got lost on Huancheng South Road. As I was rushing to the airport, I called the driver and told her to look up at the tallest building nearby - that's the Sofitel. She had a moment of realization and repeatedly said, "Oh, it's right here! I know this tall building." This Kunming landmark is the Kungang Building, which houses a Sofitel hotel. 1. This might be the "reddest" Sofitel I've ever seen, with red elements incorporated everywhere to stunning effect. At Sofitel Kunming, the moment you enter the lobby, a flowing red ribbon catches your eye. This touch of red flows to the reception area, and there's also a giant drum-shaped hollow decoration on the background wall that's incredibly eye-catching and visually striking. 2. This red ribbon seems to have a spreading vitality in its visual effect, with an almost "all-pervasive" magic. Beyond floating in the lobby, it extends into the hotel's lobby bar, creating a dazzling red display. Imagine having afternoon tea in this romantic red atmosphere - it must be both energetic and romantic. Have some tea or cocktails and toast to the swaying red and sparkling light effects. 3. This red vitality flows into the hotel's guest rooms, restaurants, and public areas. This thorough boldness might be Sofitel's most daring attempt yet. I particularly love the flowing feeling created by the red ribbon in the lobby area, the celebratory energy, and the colorful charm - isn't this exactly what Yunnan should be like? 4. Later, I read that when explaining the stunning lobby design, the hotel's interior designer said the dancing red ribbon resembles ethnic minorities dancing during festivals in Yunnan, as well as the majestic mountains and rivers surrounding the hotel. But it's more than that - after visiting so many places in Yunnan, I've found that Yunnan's magnificence and diversity are reflected in every corner of the land, with charm always nearby. 5. The circular drums on the background wall symbolize the festive dancing and celebration of the people in Yunnan. This reminds me of Yunnan's drum culture and related drum festivals. One of my deepest impressions was watching the Hani people's bronze drum performance at Chaoyang Tower Square in Jianshui County, which represents prayers for a good harvest. 6. I must recommend the hotel's Yun Xuan Chinese restaurant, which serves Cantonese, Sichuan, and Yunnan cuisine. Their lunch special of CNY 98 per person for all-you-can-order is incredibly good value. With 60-70 dishes to choose from, it's economical and perfect for both business professionals working nearby and hotel guests. I had lunch there once and was completely satisfied after ordering just a few dishes - the portions are generous. 7. I remember returning to the hotel at dusk once and finding the elevator area filled with light and shadows. That's when I noticed even the trash cans were wrapped in romantic red - they looked like art installations at first glance. Looking back, I realized that whether in guest rooms, restaurants, or other public spaces, there were either red sofas or red chairs - red everywhere. Even the amenity boxes and tissue boxes in the bathrooms were red - a truly consistent theme.
