Hidden desert fantasy attraction: The world's only green-built seven-star hotel

By the MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

In the desert regions of Inner Mongolia, beyond the commonly known barren dunes, Mongolian yurts, and nomadic tribes, there now appears a fantastical sight reminiscent of a mirage. The ultra-large luxury landscape resort hotel "Xiangshawan Lotus Hotel," which has stunned many international media outlets, is a green sanctuary centered around Buddhist culture and is also the world’s only green building constructed without bricks, tiles, sand, stones, cement, or steel bars.

The Xiangshawan Lotus Hotel is hailed by many professionals as a seven-star establishment—an astonishing new hotel in China. Endless yellow sands, dotted with the presence of camels, create a scene straight out of a sci-fi movie, whether at sunrise, sunset, or under the starry night sky.
