Following the recent opening ceremony, the much-anticipated signature fan of Mandarin Oriental was also unveiled. Designed by renowned Chinese artist Xu Bing, it incorporates his original ‘Square Character Calligraphy’, which arranges alphabets into rectangular forms that resemble Chinese characters. “Unveil Beijing’s Soul” is inscribed on the fan in Chinese ink, capturing the spirit of the hotel.
“We are truly honoured to open the doors of our unique hutong sanctuary, offering guests an unparalleled hospitality experience in the Chinese capital,” commented Andy Guan, General Manager of Mandarin Oriental Qianmen.
