Shangling Hotel

Yinchuan, China

Ningxia Shangling Real Estate

Situated on the banks of China’s famous Yellow River, the Shangling Hotel is envisaged to be a grand architectural gesture in keeping with the scale and importance of its location.

Avoiding the clichéd hotel landscape, the scheme encourages interaction with, and celebration of, the local environment and culture.

Outdoor activities and celebrating with friends are a big part of life in Yinchuan, so the landscape design of the hotel forms a series of spaces that encourage guests and visitors gather and interact with each other.

Highlighted by a landmark canopy, the open space incorporates a series of bars, dining areas, a beer garden, gently rolling planted mounds surrounding manicured lawns and even a sand beach.  
 
Along the entire perimeter of the site boardwalks provide direct access to gravel and sand beaches on the water.
