In 2006 Martin Jochman, a British designer who had participated in the design of the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, became the designer of the Shenkeng Hotel. Making a hotel that truly grows in nature, rather than a bionic building, is his source of inspiration.

In 2009, the project officially started;

Interior view

More than 1,400 pieces of art and art installations

The Juan Yunshu located at the entrance of the hotel is the most representative art sculpture in the entire hotel: a dragon shape, one part is made of solid stainless steel, and the other part is made of stainless steel with hollow text. Only when you look closely can you find the Chinese character decoration.

You can enjoy the boundless scenery of the mine in the hotel lobby. There are wonderful water curtain shows performed from time to time. The water curtain changes into various patterns and matches with beautiful music, making you unable to stop.

Combining the geographical characteristics of the pit, the scenery changes in the pit, the changing characteristics of the rock formations and the demand for spectacle experience, the hotel arranged an exclusive and unique design story for the pit.

From the ground to the center of the earth. Going straight into the center of the earth and into the depths of the water, the lobby, guest rooms, bars, underwater suites, and underwater restaurants are all closely linked to the story, as if you are going deep into a mine to start an adventure. For example, the landscaping at the entrance of the Chinese restaurant is particularly special. A transparent skylight is designed, which means a ray of dawn shines into the deep pit!

Do you still remember the dynamic Qingming Riverside Scene in the China Art Palace? There is also a dynamic long scroll Silk Road landscape map in the Shenkeng Hotel, showing The grand scene of the Silk Road in ancient times.

The hotel is built along the rock wall, and the room types and structural conditions of each floor are different, which brings great challenges to the design of the apartments. After studying the floor type conditions and characteristics, the hotel summarized three types of unit layouts; combined with the color changes of geological rock formations, three types of red, blue, and gray blue were designed based on the colors of stones containing iron, hematite, and calcium carbonate. The interior design of the guest rooms.

The 8 suites have stunning balcony views

The hotel has 6 duplex suites and 2 fully underwater suites, which are suitable for families. For honeymoons, there is also a presidential suite.

The family suite is a duplex, shaped like a yacht. The entrance and living room are on the B15 floor, as if they are at the bottom of the cabin. When you push the door and enter, you will be surrounded by fish swimming in front of you; pass the stairs. Go up to the B14 floor, which is the bedroom and children's play space (the picture above is the actual scene. The balcony view here is truly amazing!

Red Bar

It is located on the B14 floor of the hotel, between the pit bottom and the water surface. The combination of light and shadow inside is reminiscent of the deep pit cliff. The rocks within the walls and the mine in dim light. Thick steel structure water pipes, red crystal facades, red leather, and custom wooden barrel wine racks. These elements make the bar’s mining industrial style more intense.

The night view of the hotel is extremely dazzling, and the staff revealed: There will be a light show on the lake at night!

Outdoor of the hotel

The hotel has specially set up an open outdoor area in the center of the lake Leisure platform, connected to the bar.

Sitting here, you can see the guest rooms stacked up on the cliff, which is very spectacular. The staff revealed that there are no plans for the legendary bungee jumping, but rock climbing projects will be opened on this cliff in the future!

The scenery on the other side is a waterfall and a quarrying plank road.

The quarrying plank road stands on the original cliff on the left side of the building. The plank road is in a Z shape and is built along the top of the pit into the pit. The 300 steps take 10 minutes to go up from bottom to top and 5 minutes to go down from top to bottom. This is part of the cultural imprint of Shenkeng and is currently not open to the public and residents.

There is a large cave behind the water curtain of the waterfall. It used to be a place where miners stored explosives. Later, pigeons were attracted to live here, so you will always see pigeons flying out of the waterfall. The artistic conception is very beautiful. .

The hotel has preserved more than 200 wild trees and vegetation on the cliffs of Shenkeng to show respect for the wild beauty of Shenkeng. The island in the center of the lake creates an artistic conception of listening to the waterfall with pine stones, and the vigorous and tall welcoming pine trees in the mountains welcome guests from all over. This small island looks like a fish from a distance!

The wooden plank road

You can have a better view of the pit scenery from the outside. A special reminder to you is that the stones piled up on this road are all ores dug out of the mines during the construction process. You can pick up a piece and take it back as a souvenir! Don't take it randomly, I'm kidding.

Theme Park

If you walk outside the hotel, you will be surprised to find that there is a theme park called the Pit Secret Realm Elf City Theme Park, which is also built by Shimao Group , and will be opened to the public in the near future.

The park is not very big, and the glass plank road is a beautiful view of the pit!

There is also a cliff hurricane (a big pendulum, it is on the edge of the cliff of the pit) !

Projects for children, such as tree houses, brave roads, etc. The future project of leaping into the pit is still under construction, that is, the high-altitude zip line (not the cable car, you can just tie it on the zip line) Slide to the hotel opposite!

The ticket office at the entrance of the park says: Adult tickets are 120 yuan per person.
