Hanfu Experience in Hangzhou! An Immersive Beauty Transformation

My bestie came to visit me in Hangzhou, and we rushed to Xizi Makeup Hotel early in the morning for their Hanfu styling session. I chose a light orange gauze dress paired with a simple yet elegant updo. The makeup artist discussed the details with me beforehand, and the final look was fresh and natural—even prettier than studio photoshoots! We both couldn't stop admiring ourselves in the mirror. 🉑 The hotel has a dedicated photo zone decorated with lotus flowers and vintage trinkets. Right after the styling, we snapped several photos there. The lighting was perfect—no need to fuss over angles; every shot turned out Instagram-worthy. 📸 In the morning, we strolled along Yanggongdi and Yuhu Bay, then enjoyed authentic Hangzhou cuisine for lunch. In the afternoon, we walked along Sudi, hiked up Gushan Hill, and ended the day watching the sunset at Hubin Third Park. Sitting on a bench, we watched the sun slowly dip below the horizon, painting the lake in warm golden hues. The sunlight danced on the water, making even the ripples sparkle. My light orange gauze dress looked especially soft and dreamy under the sunset glow! Chatting by the lakeside breeze, time seemed to slow down. This, I think, is the pure joy of exploring West Lake. ✨ Returning to the hotel at night was equally soothing—though the room was compact, it was spotless and cozy, offering unbeatable value for us.
