Text description provided by the architects. The 13th China International Garden Expo Park is located in the famous historical and cultural city of Xuzhou. The park is surrounded by hills, creating a picturesque landscape. The Dangkou Hotel, as one of the significant supporting facilities for this garden expo, is situated on the southwestern slope of the park. To the north lies the main scenic area of the garden expo and the Hanging Water Lake, providing a broad and open view.

Project Positioning
Considering the resort nature of the hotel and the planning concept of the garden expo, the Dangkou Hotel has been designed following the principles of "green and innovation." It emphasizes the connection between the architecture and the Dangkou (a specific geographical feature), striving to maximize the use of the surrounding landscape resources. The design also focuses on the restoration of the mountainous terrain, providing a unique and eco-friendly stay experience for visitors.

Viewing the mountains and lakes, mending and enhancing the Dangkou, suspended architecture, three-dimensional landscaping. A poetic expression capturing the vision and essence of the designer in creating the Dangkou Hotel:
"In the realm of the imaginary lies reality, Where substance conceals the void.
Gracefully escaping, leaning and emerging, Within its own garden it does abide.
With each step, a new scene unfolds, Peaks revealing themselves in timely grace.
Mending the Dangkou with artful skill, A masterstroke, nature's hand to trace." To seamlessly integrate the hotel into the natural mountain and water environment, and to achieve a broader panoramic view, the architectural design employs a strategy of breaking down the whole into smaller components. These smaller volumes are artfully arranged at different elevations, creating a cascading effect. The voids between the suspended structures form a multi-layered three-dimensional landscaped space. Connected by walkways, these elements form a circular path leading from the hotel to the mountain's summit. This design not only repairs the fractured mountain terrain but also provides visitors with a rich spatial experience, including climbing, crossing bridges, enjoying lake views, and returning to the garden.
