"White stone from the mountain, bright and moist as a jade", the base is located inYuhu Lake, Bishan, Chongqing, which is a rare ecological wetland in the city, and the beautiful regional landscape environment is a "refuge" for the public to relax. The design is located on the gentle slope of the peninsula along the waterfront of the Yuhu Lake, and the topographical pattern of the backdrop of the mountain and the water is consistent with the geomancy thinking of classical Chinese society. In order to maintain minimal interference with the natural environment, the design creates a hotel environment that blends with nature in terms of height control, spatial layout, and humanistic aesthetics, and shapes a cultural landscape that conforms closely to nature. The design elements are based on Song Dynasty architecture and gardens, shaping a poetic space rich in oriental aesthetics and Zen connotations. In terms of the overall layout, the design integrates the buildings into nature, extending the landscape corridor and ecological corridor, and ensuring the evenness of the landscape of the hotel rooms.
