The hotel's distinctive ring shape was inspired by the traditional Chinese moon gate, a circular arch often found in gardens and courtyards. This design not only provides impressive panoramic views of the lake but also maximizes the number of rooms with water views.
Construction Challenges and Triumphs
Constructing such an innovative structure presented significant engineering challenges. The hotel's foundation had to be carefully designed to withstand the immense weight of the building and ensure its stability on the lakeshore. Despite these obstacles, the construction team succeeded in bringing this ambitious project to life.
