The design and decoration of the hotel are full of artistic sense. The walls are made of colorful glazed bricks and tiles, combined with local rammed earth culture. The overall building looks vibrant yet rustic, very ingenious. ✔️The building stretches like a long dragon in the 27,000 square meter garden, inspired by the painting 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains'. The landscape is created with reference to Song Dynasty artist Liu Songnian's 'Four Scenes of Mountains and Waters', creating a tranquil, ethereal, and natural atmosphere. ✔️The scroll of 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains' is hidden between the lake and the mountains. It integrates classical secluded landscape elements with modern functional facilities. Walking through it feels like being in a painting, embracing the lake and mountain scenery, with exquisite craftsmanship, enjoying leisure and comfort, and full of charm. ✔️Yanbo Manor is a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH), positioned as a boutique themed museum hotel.
