70 years ago, the Japanese dug a pit 50 meters deep, and China spent 2 billion to fill it. What happened now?

China is a country with a history of more than 5,000 years, and the civilization of China has never been broken. China had a low ebb in modern times. With the passage of time, China became stronger and stronger, surpassing Japanese to become the second largest economy in the world in just a few decades.

With the development of China's economy, the urbanization of China is deepening, the urban construction is becoming more and more perfect, and some modern buildings have mushroomed. The building to be introduced to you today has a very strange origin. It was built on the basis of the big pit left by the Japanese only in China, but now it has surprised all countries.

70 years ago, the Japanese dug for 50 years, leaving a big pit, and China spent 2 billion to fill it.

This building is Shimao Intercontinental Sheshan Hotel, also called "Shenkeng Hotel". It has this name because it is also a hotel built in a 70-meter deep pit, which was left by the Japanese. 1950, the Japanese opened a quarry in tianmashan, Songjiang.

This quarry has been in operation for a long time. From 1950 to 2000, the whole mountain was basically developed in 50 years, leaving only a pit 70 meters deep, which is as big as 36,800 square meters. At first, it was just an abandoned quarry. The local authorities have been trying to fill it up, but it takes manpower and material resources to fill it up, and it has no substantive effect.

Until someone put forward the idea of turning Shenkeng Hotel into a hotel, this hotel with an investment of up to 2 billion was born.

Shenkeng Hotel amazed foreigners and was praised as "the miracle of world architecture", setting a world record.

Because this is a hotel built in a collection pit, the terrain here is very unique, and there is basically no experience to learn from during the construction process. So it took seven years to build the Shenkeng Hotel, and the final product came out, which was also very amazing.

The hotel has a total construction area of 665,438+0,087 square meters, with two floors above ground and 65,438+05 floors underground. All rooms are equipped with observation deck, which can enjoy cliffs and waterfalls. The whole hotel and the pit are integrated and complement each other, making it hard to think that it was an abandoned pit not long ago.

This hotel also enjoys a high reputation in the world, and many foreigners are amazed at this unique design. National Geographic called it "the miracle of world architecture". Shenkeng Hotel and Dubai Yacht Hotel were selected as one of the top ten architectural wonders in the world, and were tracked and reported by National Geographic Channel's "Journey to the Great World Project".

Shenkeng Hotel also set a world record. It is the five-star hotel with the lowest artificial altitude in the world. Its unique style and exquisite design have also attracted countless tourists. It is not only a hotel, but also a tourist attraction, where countless tourists from home and abroad come for sightseeing.
