Visit Shanghais underwater Quarry Hotel: 88 Meters Deep built on a quarry

Hello Today, I ll take you on a tour of a unique hotel located in Shanghai, built on an abandoned quarry. With the increasing demand for stone due to urban development and economic growth, decades of quarrying formed a pit with a depth of nearly 90 meters and a perimeter of over a kilometer by the late 1970s. As the need for environmental improvement grew, people began to seek ways to transform this abandoned quarry into a place of lush greenery and clear waters. Restoring the ecology of a pit with an 80meter depth is undoubtedly an extremely complex and colossal undertaking, involving various architectural challenges such as fire safety, waterproofing, and seismic resistance. Eventually, a team of British designers was enlisted to design and construct the hotel, which was once selected as one of the world s top ten architectural wonders. In this video, I ll take you through this breathtaking place from a firstperson perspective to show you what it has to offer. 00:47 Video Preview
