|The first Intercontinental in the northwest region. Xi'an Jingkai Intercontinental Hotel|The first Intercontinental in the northwest region A winding long driveway leads to the entrance area, flanked by majestic stone walls and lush green plants. Gradually, a secluded city garden is revealed. An ancient pine stands above the waterscape, symbolizing peace and friendship, and also implying a tolerant character. Drawing on the elements of Xi'an ancient city gate, the 20-meter-wide canopy welcomes guests from all directions in a majestic manner. _Entering the lobby, a majestic 8-meter-high artwork comes into view. It uses 3D printing technology to reflect the majestic and undulating form of the Qinling Mountains, one of the cradles of Chinese civilization. The reception area introduces six 9-meter-high "city gates", which are grand and hospitable. Named after the city walls of Xi'an, the city gates are Yongning Gate, Changle Gate, Anyuan Gate, Anding Gate, Zhuque Gate, and Yuxiang Gate, these buildings carry the memory of this city for hundreds of years. In addition, each "city gate" symbolizes a pass. On the ancient Silk Road, envoys and merchants passed through one by one, stopping at many inns for a rest. In this process, Eastern and Western cultures collided, communicated, and integrated, producing a tolerant and diverse human civilization. China brought silk, tea, and porcelain to the West, and introduced exotic goods such as coffee and spices through the Silk Road. The design of the all-day dining restaurant COMMUNE combines coffee from the West with the hall structure of the East, presenting the fusion of Eastern and Western civilizations in a modern way. The guest rooms are designed with the concept of "Chang'an Mansion". The floor is laid with unique patterns, recreating the stone roads on the streets of ancient Chang'an (the old name of Xi'an), implying that guests are walking on the stone road and entering the traditional mansion of Chang'an. The space organization refers to the layout of ancient mansions, the order of three courtyards, and also inherits the traditional etiquette of entering the house, providing guests with a ceremonial living experience. The space uses elegant tones, and the large wall surface is embellished with the green tone of Chinese jade, exuding a dignified and elegant feeling.
