Banyan Tree Nanjing: A Quarry Reborn! A Secluded Hot Spring on the Cliff

Banyan Tree Nanjing Jiangsu Horticultural Expo Garden Tangshan Subdistrict, Jiangning District, Nanjing Located at No. 8 Mengyue Road, Tangshan Subdistrict, Jiangning District, Banyan Tree Nanjing is nestled in the heart of Jiangsu Horticultural Expo Garden's Core Area, within the Yun Chi Meng Gu (Cloud Pool Dream Valley) section. Once an abandoned limestone quarry in Tangshan, the site has been transformed into a hidden sanctuary through cutting-edge design. Built into the cliff face, the hotel features cascading waterfalls that resemble silver ribbons descending from the clouds, creating a stunning industrial aesthetic against the rugged texture of the quarry. Guided by the core concept of "restoring nature and harmonious coexistence," the designers employed a steel-frame elevated structure, preserving the quarry's original vegetation while allowing the building to seemingly float above the clouds like a bridge. The cocoon-shaped art installation in the center of the lobby symbolizes rebirth and renewal. The use of glass corridors and natural stone blurs the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, creating a sensation of strolling through the mountains. As night falls, the quarry lights illuminate the cliff face and mist, evoking an otherworldly scene reminiscent of "Avatar." The hotel's three restaurants seamlessly blend the quarry landscape with culinary artistry: Ming Yue All-Day Dining Restaurant: With 180° glass curtain walls that bathe the space in natural light, the restaurant offers 10 types of gelato for breakfast, along with freshly made Jinling snacks. Western set meals are recommended for dinner. Bai Yun Chinese Restaurant: Specializing in a fusion of Huaiyang and Cantonese cuisine, the restaurant's private dining rooms offer direct views of the cliff face, creating an intimate dining experience. Lobby Lounge: Don't miss the sunset ritual! Order a Yuhua tea-infused cocktail and watch as the setting sun paints the quarry in hues of gold and red, capturing cinematic moments with every photo.
