Hello! Today, I'll take you
Hello! Today, I'll take you on a tour of a unique hotel located in Shanghai, built on an abandoned quarry. With the increasing demand for stone due to urban development and economic growth, decades of quarrying formed a pit with a depth of nearly 90 meters and a perimeter of over a kilometer by the late 1970s.
As the need for environmental improvement grew, people began to seek ways to transform this abandoned quarry into a place of lush greenery and clear waters. Restoring the ecology of a pit with an 80-meter depth is undoubtedly an extremely complex and colossal undertaking, involving various architectural challenges such as fire safety, waterproofing, and seismic resistance. Eventually, a team of British designers was enlisted to design and construct the hotel, which was once selected as one of the world's top ten architectural wonders.
In this video, I'll take you through this breathtaking place from a first-person perspective to show you what it has to offer.
