The 'Fortune, Prosperity, Longevity' shapes are the design of the Sanhe Tianzi Hotel

'Fortune, Prosperity, Longevity', the three stars, are no longer just totems on New Year paintings; they have become tangible architecture. Located in the Tianzi Manor of Sanhe City, Hebei Province, the Tianzi Hotel is shaped like the traditional 'Fortune, Prosperity, Longevity' three-star colored sculpture, standing 41.6 meters tall, roughly equivalent to ten stories. The building is detailed, with patterns and textures made from small pieces of ceramic tiles. In China, it was rated as one of the ugliest buildings by an architectural website; abroad, it was once recognized as the 'largest figurative building' by the Guinness World Records and received the Guinness Best Project Award. Staying in this building, one would guess that the lighting and ventilation are particularly poor! It is said that the longevity peach in the hand of the 'Longevity' star is actually a room, named the 'Longevity Peach Suite'. The other ordinary suites are located inside the bellies of these three 'immortals', with an especially large presidential suite taking up the entire ninth floor, spanning the three deities of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity. However, the hotel is no longer in business. The residents of the community have adopted an indifferent attitude towards this building. They sit and play cards or chess in the sunken plaza opposite the hotel, while the hotel entrance has become a parking lot. Every day, many people come here to take pictures of the building, and the community's residents are enthusiastic about explaining it.
