The CZ75-Auto Xiangliu delivers a dramatic, serpent-themed aesthetic inspired by Chinese mythology and stylized reptilian patterns. Its vivid coloration and bold artwork make it one of the most visually intense skins available for the CZ75.
Visual Description
Xiangliu wraps the pistol in a swirling mosaic of purple, teal, and deep black scales, forming an elaborate multi-serpent motif.

Bright teal highlights illuminate the scales, while the darker base tones add depth and mystique. The result is a powerful, mythological aesthetic full of motion and color.
History and Origin
This skin originates from the Gamma Case, a collection that emphasized bold colors and supernatural themes. Xiangliu’s serpentine pattern and mythological roots aligned perfectly with the case’s direction, making it one of the standout designs upon release. Its complex artwork and cultural influence quickly gained community appreciation.

Content creators favor it for its vivid visibility, while collectors value its unique mythological representation.
Price Formation Factors
Value depends on Gamma Case availability, float-based clarity of scale patterns, and demand for fantasy-inspired skins. Lower wear preserves the strong color contrast and finer scale details. Market cycles, themed inventory trends, and interest in mythology also influence pricing.
