Chinese Design Embellishments

In this world full of modernization as well as new things created out of inspiration from old designs and symbols, it is not strange for us to see Che Guevara on bags and shirts, swastika on bags and cups, as well as other ancient and historical designs. Even Chinese opinions and ancient symbols are in the market today and is becoming one of the most purchased fashion embellishments. I am talking about diverse categories of jewelries inspired by Chinese symbols and beliefs.

For instance is a silver bangle with a number 8 shape on it, and this number 8 design was inspired by the Chinese belief that 8 means providence, and aside from a bangle, there is also a silver ring that has a number 8 design on it, which was also inspired by the same Chinese belief. Furthermore, a silver 18" necklace chain, which is now offered, also entices good luck, and it has an enameled sterling silver pendant called the 'Chinese Knot'. Another good luck charm is the sterling silver ring that has an "Imperial Seal" shape, which was enkindled by the seal of the Qing's emperor. All of these Chinese-inspired jewelries are made out of real silver and have free and adjustable sizes, but in a quite high prices.

Experiencing bygone times and enjoyment In Beijing Hotel

Having a majestic and luxurious affair in a historical Chinese setting does not come very easy these days. But I highly acclaim the well-known Beijing Hotel, as this hotel promises exactly the experience of history and luxury under one roof. Being a century-old infrastructure, the hotel has a French-inspired architectural perspective. This hotel also carries the culture of hosting several outstanding leaders in history, both local and international, like Chairman Mao, Voroshilov, and the First Premier of the People's Republic of China Zhou Enlai. Also, the the Chinese special federal days (1949-1958) were celebrated in this historical hostel.

The direction of the Beijing Hotel offers accessibility for tourists wanting to see the famed frontier place of Tian'anmen Square, while it is five minutes away from the Square by foot. Aside from this, the adjacency of the hotel in the capital, business centers, shopping centers, subway, and other tourist places. I happen to love the total and present amenities of this hotel like the fitness room, mini bar, karaoke, and spa. Not only that, the hotel rooms have a stunning look of the former Forbidden City of Beijing. The hotel also boasts of a delectable international and Chinese cuisines courses prepared by expert chefs. Indeed, indulging in history and luxury is a sheer and unforgettable indulgence in the Beijing Hotel.
