On her Weibo account, she shared a photo series from her trip to Egypt, writing: "The trip to Egypt was as quick as it gets. My heart feels like a cloud in the desert, drifting gently without haste. Everything is fine -except for the sun, which feels a little too real."
In the photo, she is seen standing at the Giza Pyramids, in front of the Great Sphinx, in Giza near Cairo.
The Great Sphinx of Giza is the largest monolithic sculpture of the ancient world, measuring approximately 73 meters in length and 20 meters in height.
Carved with the body of a lion and the head of a human, believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre, it stands as a symbol of power and wisdom in ancient Egyptian culture.
Behind Zhang are two of the three main pyramids of Giza. On the far left is the Pyramid of Menkaure (Mykerinos), and next to it is the Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren), the second tallest of the three.
Her photo was taken from the south looking north, along a trail that leads directly to the pyramids, a popular spot where tourists often stop to capture panoramic views of Giza.
She wears a variety of outfits that complemented the Egyptian landscape during the photo shoot.
As a Muslim-majority country with strong cultural traditions, Egypt encourages visitors to dress modestly and respect local customs.
Zhang wears a Boho outfit with a modern minimalist twist. She used a neatly wrapped headscarf, showing respect for Islamic culture and suitable for the desert climate.
She also used a long, straight-cut dress in neutral colors.
Zhang visits the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), located near the Giza Pyramids, Cairo, posing for photos at the famous wall in the main hall, which was designed to be symbolic, honoring ancient Egyptian art.
The wall depicts the Eye of Horus, the Mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamun and the Cartouches - oval frames containing the names of kings and queens.
The Grand Egyptian Museum is the world's largest archaeological museum about ancient Egyptian civilization. Located near the Giza area, just a few kilometers from the Pyramids, it displays more than 100,000 artifacts, including the complete collection of King Tutankhamun.
Zhang, 46, gained international recognition with her role in the 2000 movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," which received 10 Academy Awards nominations. She also garnered many awards for her appearance in the 2013 movie "The Grandmaster."
