The Design

About Shanan El Hotel

Inspirado en el mar de bambú y el paisaje montañoso circundante, el lenguaje de diseño expresa el anhelo y el asombro por la naturaleza. Shanan es como una ciudad ideal, aislada del mundo por las verdes montañas, el canto de los pájaros, el aire y el mar de nubes. A mitad de camino de la montaña, 17 habitaciones dan al mar y las montañas de bambú. Shanan se encuentra en lo profundo del bosque marino de bambú en la línea Shenwang en la ciudad de Baofu, Anji. Como la casa más alta de esta montaña, tiene todo el verde y la ondulación de la montaña.
