The Boundless Realm: A Visual Poem and Natural Praise on the Banks of Fuxian Lake
Fuxian Lake, this "blue gem" set in Yuxi, Yunnan Province, is the largest deep-water freshwater lake in China. With its unparalleled ecological endowment and profound cultural depth, it has become a private paradise for seasoned travelers, inviting global visitors with its irresistible charm and the mysteries of ancient times and the passage of time.
In the embrace of the plateau, Fuxian Lake, with a depth of up to 155 meters at its deepest point, quietly guards the secrets of the ancient underwater world. The sleeping underwater city is faintly visible, and the neighboring "Earth's Origin of Life" Maotian Mountain also holds evidence of the Cambrian explosion of life 530 million years ago.
On the banks of the clear waters of Fuxian Lake, a resort hotel has redefined the way humans interact with nature through its ingenious design. This place is not just a place for relaxation; it is a feast for the eyes and the senses, and a profound fusion of space and narrative.
Visual Corridor: Entering the Courtyard Through the Lake, Integrating the Scenery into the Mind
The core design concept of the hotel lies in breaking boundaries. Through the ingenious handling of the nearby water surface, people's lines of sight are invisibly guided, pulling the vast expanse of the lake into the atrium, forming a stunning visual corridor. At the middle scene, the framed corridor divides the inner and outer courtyards with exquisite boundary handling, not only defining the space but also serving as a frame, freezing the lake and mountain sc
Unbounded Space: The scenery enters the room, and people enter the painting.
The experience booths on both sides are seamlessly connected to the all-day dining area, eliminating the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. The transparent design allows the lake view to flow freely into the interior, making dining, relaxation, and conversation all take place within the scenery. The open theater space in the center of the atrium, with the lake view as the natural backdrop, presents an impromptu dialogue between humans and nature - whether it's an artistic performance or simply sitting and enjoying the view of the lake, it all becomes an excellent way to make the most of the scenery.
enery into a flowing painting. The focus of the ceremony: The daily narrative of light and fireAbove, countless small lights are woven together to form the image of a lighthouse, which is both a visual focal point and a spiritual symbol. They are lit at fixed times every day, like watchmen on the lake shore, telling the story of light and time. On the water surface of the central courtyard, a 3-meter-high fire column and the series of fire basins on both sides together form the daily lighting ceremony - the flames are dancing, the lights are gradually brightening, creating a ceremony that blends the primitive and the modern, awakening people's awe and resonance towards the power of nature.
The Natural Labyrinth: An Infinite Experience in the Garden
The hotel extends the natural experience to a broader area: the camellia garden is splendid and elegant, the olive garden is serene and profound, the sandy plant garden is full of wild charm, and the golf garden is expansive and spacious. The four theme gardens create a picture of a natural labyrinth, encouraging people to explore, pause, and meditate, and in the interaction with the plants, they can rediscover their connection with the land.
Here, design is no longer a mere accumulation of forms, but a humble response to nature. Fuxian Lake Resort Hotel regards space as poetry and rituals as songs, inviting every visitor to immerse themselves in the boundless realm - wandering through the visual corridors, contemplating in the light and fire rituals, discovering themselves in the labyrinth of the garden, and ultimately achieving an eternal resonance with the lake, the sky, and nature.
