The Design

About Shanan Hotel

Inspired by the surrounding bamboo sea and mountain scenery, the design language expresses the yearning and awe for nature. Shanan is like an ideal city, isolated from the world in the green mountains, the song of birds, the air, and the sea of clouds. Halfway up the mountain, 17 guest rooms face the bamboo sea and mountains. Shanan is located deep in the bamboo sea forest on the Shenwang Line in Baofu Town, Anji. As the highest house on this mountain, it has the whole green and undulation of the mountain.
