Finding a flower in the desert is real happiness. Despite the fact that it would seem impossible, now everyone has a similar chance: in Xiangshawan Desert (Inner Mongolia) a hotel with a romantic name was recently built 800 km from Beijing Desert Lotus Hotel … The original flower “blossomed” in the middle of endless sands, which attracts tourists from all over the world.
The hotel consists of triangular snow-white tents, connected to themselves in the shape of a flower. The designers also took care of the environment: all building materials are environmentally friendly, the hotel runs on solar, wind and water energy. Buildings of this kind should be an excellent example for modern architects, as they meet all the requirements of ergonomic buildings.
The tents are stretched in such a way as to protect visitors from the intolerable rays of the sun, because the heat in the desert is simply incredible. Several swimming pools are built on the territory of the hotel, the water is retained in them thanks to a unique fixing fluid, with which the bottom of the reservoirs is processed, while the builders did not use concrete. There are more and more Chinese tourists among the visitors of the hotel, Mongolian themed festivals, performances are also held here, among entertainment - camel riding and surfing in the pool.
By the way, the Desert Lotus Hotel is not the only hotel located in the desert. Earlier, we have already introduced the readers of the site Culturology. Ru to the luxurious Amangiri hotel in the Utah desert.
