Xishuangbanna Lancang River International Eco-Cultural Tourism Resort | SUNAC CHINA SOUTHWEST CROUP | World Design Awards 2021

SUNAC CHINA SOUTHWEST CROUP: Runner-Up of World Design Awards 2021. The project is located in Jinghong City, the capital of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, where in the south of Tropic of Cancer and belongs to tropical humid area. Jinghong is adjacent to Pu’er City in the north, Jiangcheng County of Pu’er City in the northeast, Mengla County in the East, Menghai County in the west, and borders on Myanmar in the south.

The project planning combines the superior geographical resources and proposes “return to nature”. Modern people living in prosperous cities hope to return to nature, longing to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the cool of the mountains and forests. Mountains have the possibility of bringing people back to nature, and mountain architecture is a way for people to experience nature. The project is excepted to respect life and inherit culture with union of the local Dai culture. On the basis of this idea, an ideal tourist resort for preserving life and inheriting culture is created. “One center with five areas”, which means five landscape areas around a main central landscape, focuses on the integrity of the project while improves the comfort of the leisure space of the resort. The space presents a natural layout in the design plan, continues with the mountains and rivers, and is naturally scattered along the terrain from low to high vertically. That creats a good position to view the river.
