Secluded Cave | Guizhou Jianglu Yalu Ancient Hotel

|Guizhou Jianglu Yalu Ancient Hotel. Secluded Cave | Guizhou Jianglu Yalu Ancient Hotel The project is built in this natural cave near the Chishui River. The cave is about 300 meters wide and 13.9 meters at its highest point. The Chishui River area is famous for its Danxia landform: red water, land, and cliffs. Materials: Red powder extracted from local stones is added to the paint on the exterior walls of the building, so that the hotel's exterior skin also presents a red color, blending in with the natural landscape. Space: 1. Lobby: The deepest and darkest corner of the cave is arranged as a lobby, and a "big disc" is made according to the terrain - a super large seat with a radius of 7.5 meters, where guests can wait and stay when checking in. The "ceiling" above the big disc is pressed very low by the mountain, and when people sit on the seat, their sight is flat and far. 2. Passage: Passing through the lobby, you can see the first waterfall in the cave flowing down from the cliff. As you walk further in, the space becomes more cramped. The winding passages in the cave lead to several viewing platforms. Liu Zongya placed staggered spaces in the relatively open areas of the cave, allowing guests to explore on their own along the corridors and stairs: walking up to the meditation place facing the mountains, or standing on the glass walkway above the cliff to experience nature up close. When you follow the sound of water to the second waterfall, the view suddenly opens up, and the pool and restaurant make the atmosphere relaxed and joyful. Camphor trees grow densely on both sides of the waterfall, and the crowns of these old trees are very high, just "wrapping" the restaurant and pool, forming a natural barrier. 3. Guest rooms: In the 11 guest rooms, people can directly touch the natural rock walls and can lie on the bed to enjoy the view outside the window. Liu Zongya said: "With red rock walls overhead, waterfalls and forests outside the window, and cliffs nearby, this is what makes people feel like they are living in a cave."
