In Yangshuo, there are hotels on the bank of the river that do not have a fusion of landscapes. Among them, the Yangshuo Sugar House Boutique Hotel converted from the old sugar factory cleverly combines the natural environment and injects contemporary aesthetics into the original buildings.
Yangshuo Sugar House, established in the 1960s, is located in Karst Mountain and has excellent Guilin landscapes. The old sugar factory was closed in the 1980s and was almost abandoned. Until 2017, the redesign and opening.
The award-winning architectural designer Dong Gong and interior designer Jubin were invited to work together to preserve the original elements of the sugar factory building while injecting a brand new concept.
The hotel retains the original appearance of the old building, the industrial trusses used to transport sugar, the hollow structure on the brick wall of the old building, and the field for collecting sugar cane… are all infused with novelty, transforming into high columns for the swimming pool, sugar bricks for decorating the walls… and the beautiful mountain scenery, the clear water mold and oriental elements collide with a novel style. Yangshuo Tangshe Resort Hotel has always been a must-visit fantasy list for many travelers.
Using the hotel as a carrier, Yangshuo Tangshe Boutique Hotel continues to create luxurious experiences between art and culture. Entering 2025, Yangshuo Tangshe invited Chinese architect Liu Jiakun to cross-border cooperation on New Year's Eve fireworks. Liu Jiakun uses the concept of “local materials, local shapes, metaphors whenever year, and voice whenever year's time”. The 12-meter-high firecracker pagoda is made of bamboo abundant in Guangxi. The bamboo pagoda is surrounded by water and mountains, the scenery on both sides of the Li River, and the sugar houses build a magnificent skyline. There is another interpretation of “architecture”.
