Is Shimao Shenkeng Intercontinental Hotel fun? Is it worth going?

Shanghai Shimao Shenkeng Intercontinental Hotel is located at No.5888 Huachen Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai. It was built on the foundation of an abandoned mine. Luxury hotels are completely different from the ruins before, completely beyond people's cognition and understanding. Let's analyze the playability of the hotel in detail.

There are indeed many eye-catching hotels in the world, such as the tallest hotel, the most expensive hotel to build, the most expensive hotel to stay in and so on. But no matter what kind of hotel, in everyone's impression, it must be built on the ground. However, the hotel we are going to talk about today is just the opposite. The whole building is built underground.

This hotel is Shimao Shenkeng Intercontinental Hotel, located in Sheshan National Tourism Resort, Songjiang, Shanghai, with a building height of 88 meters. However, unlike other hotel buildings, it is located 88 meters underground. * * *18th floor of our hotel, including 2 floors above ground and 0/6th floor underground, of which the bottom 2 floors are located in the deep water area, with a total construction area of about 6 10000 square meters. Although the building area is not too large, its construction difficulty is among the best in the world because it is located deep underground.

In fact, it was originally just a pit abandoned after ore mining, nearly 90 meters deep and surrounded by cliffs. There is no unique scenery. However, in 20 13, Shimao Shenkeng Hotel officially started construction here, and the hotel was built on a cliff. After nearly five years of construction, more than 2 billion yuan has been invested to overcome various construction challenges. Finally, the hotel was completed and opened in 1997, which transformed this pit into a unique and beautiful pit.

It is the first hotel built in a deep pit in the world. It is the amazing design and extremely difficult construction here that makes it known as the architectural miracle of the world. It is also the only hotel architectural miracle except Dubai Sailing Hotel. Therefore, the hotel won many awards, such as the best international hotel building, the best future building in China and the best hotel design. With the completion and opening, this hotel built in an abandoned pit gradually appeared in front of people and became the object of people's amazement.

Many people may wonder, if the hotel is built underground and there is no light, will it be as dark as the 18 floor of hell? But it's not. It is not dark, but a rather luxurious intercontinental hotel with 366 rooms and suites on the18th floor. There are not only landscape presidential rooms, underwater scene rooms, but also natural indoor gardens, large landscape waterfalls and other characteristic buildings. And each room is equipped with a viewing terrace, which can enjoy the cliff waterfalls in the deep pit. Two floors underwater can enjoy the novelty of the ocean in the aquarium.

According to the different levels of the ground, underground, water and underwater, the hotel creates different theme landscapes, and the accommodation environment is very comfortable. In addition to guest rooms, there are entertainment facilities such as bars, hydrotherapy massage, indoor swimming pool, walking landscape plank road, aquarium and underwater restaurant. There is also an 850-square-meter banquet hall for banquets and rock climbing. There is also a fairy city theme park near the hotel, which also attracts a large number of tourists to spend their holidays here.
