Architecture that forms to and compliments the landscape instead of flattening or destroying it has always fascinated me. Although the quarry was man made to begin with, this is a great use of the area which would have otherwise been a scar on the landscape.

Fix it instead of destroy it, great!

@Corkas, I'm sharing the same views as yours.
@Corkas_ Do you hate nature? I wouldnt call nature with a waterful a scar on the landscape!
The Perfect set for a Bond/Mission Impossible movie.
will end up in a devastating explosion.
How about a perfect set for a Shanghai movie?
@@LegEnd-ug4cz 👍👍👍 Jackie chan action movie with Jet Li
Oh... Yeah but, really not coz, it's suitable for Fast & Furious 😎
Looks like a villain's lair in a Bond movie
THIS is exactly why I love Architecture and Engineering. The creativity it takes to see a space and imagine an amazing place is just astounding. The ingenuity and teamwork it takes as well, to create projects as big as this one, is amazing
สวัสดีครับวันนี้และเมื่อวานนี้ผมนิ่ล่ะซื่อคุณฯสายันต์เกรียงไกร
I set this building as my desktop wallpaper four years ago thinking it would never be built. So imagine my shock when I saw it on a B1M thumbnail.
It’s about to open recently.
It opened recently
But why Google says its a 4 star hotel ?
Δημήτρης Χαφακιας over $800 USD for a night. But it’s not encouraged for the officials to stay in 5 star hotel.
This is called *Earthscraper.*
Seascrapers actually
that makes me . hmmmmmmm
U R right
That's what i call entering my girl's back door
@@MRimREALLYkool you might be in for a chocolate treat 💩
Astounded this wasn't clickbait...
Sunny Daze Yeah, that was actually quite a surprise.😆👌🏼
I have seen this in my recommendations for so long and avoided it because I thought it was clickbait. Heck, I'm surprised!
B1M is the real deal, very serious and professional channel
was it really that suprising? honestly this didn't suprise me, i've seen china do way crazier infrastructure projects than this.
Unhelpful Videos no clickbait on b1m
I am fascinated. Very unique idea.
And they say china is evil place china it is clear is very advanced and uses wealth to better its way of life
@Zoozooshi Crazy The construction is not completed yet
@Zoozooshi Crazy now complete!!!!
joe mctaggart they’re just against China for political reasons, to gain an advantage
There are ancient churches in Ethiopia with similar architecture. Look up Churches of Lalibela.
0:26 ”A truly GROUNDBREAKING project" oh my god
Yeah, is he secretly a dad or something? LOL
@@bennyboiart7781 you gotta admit tho, that was a good dad joke
*Now that's some brutally creative achievement.*
*I hope more countries find ways to turn formerly abandoned sites and structures into something continually productive.*
I saw the concepts online years ago but never knew it was more than the concepts! Its actually real!
It’s about to open recently.
Is it real yet? Those pictures definately dont look real!
It took a full decade to build? 😲 Must be super expensive and fancy.
al gung What is the name of the vlogger?
Can't wait to see what the inside looks like.
@Denny Rubin hey get over there and film it for us youtuber

that sailing yacht at the bottom - manned by true optimists
Perfect *hotel for mountain climbers.*
Walk out of the hotel, start climbing to the earth surface :-)
I'd love to photograph it from below and it'd be great if they built a lift from one side to the other. They could make additional revenue on it even for people not staying on the property. I'd ride.
"Walk out of the hotel, start climbing to the earth surface"
sounds like a hotel for Minecraft players
There are plenty of hostels where you can do that round the world, looks like fun but I doubt anyone is there for the climbing lol
@@MABfan11 minecraft players would just break the wall open and pillar up to the top...
The ground floor is on top tho
Incredible project and incredible presentation, thank you.
Fusing new Buildings with existing Landscapes is just the greatest architectural archivement! well done!
The rest of world : We've got to build higher, bigger, stronger!
China : *yawn.. Let's go deeper this time.
Yeah, too bad they only let regular citizens invest all those years in decaying buildings. Wonder if this is pork belly or really good construction?
in Europe is "We've got to build greener"
@@chrissinclair4442 A typical racist westerner has nothing better than criticising and condemning.
KroutSuprem good
That's what she said.
Been following you guys for a while never, never a dull moment in your videos! Top quality as always
best hotel design/build i've seen in a long time, i would like to visit one day
Awesome channel! I love the quality videos!
Lmao sailboats on a lake 90 m below ground level.
Was thinking the same thing.
Rampant Not much wind down there.
@@artysanmobile fans
They might have fans to create wakes and valley wind hah
@Nij Jin They probably didn't even think about it haha.
Amazing & very unique hotel 👍🏻
This is amazing on many levels and the open minds to design and create this is empowering and inspiring.
Thank you for sharing this time capsule 🎨
not only is it not a scar on the landscape... it fixes a scar that was already there
I watch this show and was happy to see that it featured a project just a couple miles away from me. Thank you!
There are medieval churches in Ethiopia built with similar architecture.
They are called Churches of Lalibela.
I was fascinated about Chinese modern mega construction.
They used every sqaue inch wisely.
In Shanghai, close the modern musuem....huge park in top ,huge shopping mall below it.
I've been thinking for quite a while that cool things could be done with old quarries, glad to see someone is doing it.
Looks beautiful
This is amazingly breath taking.
It's just a Dam hotel.
I see what you did there
Its just a quarry hotel
I dig it! ;)
get saved True
@@TheCatLoverLord I'm confused to what your saying?
Great channel, great video!
I love it. It looks very futuristic.
Awesome mega project in China.
many of them in China, the most being the marvelous Ocean Flower Island in Hainan.
@Allen Tokyoo lol don't be ignorant
This looks like an incredible place. Thanks B1M for the video, it very interesting
Thank you for taking time and showing us such beautiful Hotel.
As an average worker in South Africa, I may never be able to see nor experience such beauty but I am glad to see it in the comfort of my home😊
Man I really appreciate the breakcore/jungle/drum break music you like.
would be nice if they include in the aquarium the endangered native fish of the Yangtze river system to educate the public.
That's cool, really cool
Amazing, from concept to engineering. Can't wait for it to be completed and see the interior.
This concept is truly remarkable. All people involved should be recognized for it. When I imagine future earth this is what I see. Amazing work...
All I can think is. "sounds like a good minecraft build.
Another great video! hope to see an update to this project!
This is quite incredible, love it.
An update is needed here underwater is an understatement for 2020.
Great 👍 work
Best channel and content
great channel, always entertaining, and informative.
#1 BM videos for sure!
Sounds interesting, will surely make a visit one day.
@@222222225574 Don't say we... Cuz you are not Indian.. You are just an ill minded guy who judges a population by just a single person's activity
@@222222225574 And yeah you are also a racist which means you probably white Asian
SSMART racist
Truly incredible, isn't China? Meanwhile, India can't even build decent toilets and provide monthly wages to teachers...who go on strike twice or thrice a year demanding salaries.
Wow this looks amazing. The 🙌🙌
Looks like a great design. I like the water fall. I assume there is a big fan somewhere to push the sailboat around in the drawing. Not going to get a good breeze in a hole.
I will be staying there tomorrow! So excited to finally see this in person :D
Been there today! Truly magnificent!
1979lenochka, enjoyed laser show? :-)
Incredible 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is pure ingenuity! Love it!
What an achievement! Fantastic work
amazing...
Best sample of "recycling" meaning on hearth, that I´ve ever seen or heard!
What an extraordinary Hotel! A brilliant idea by it’s creators. I’m excited to see the finished product.
What concern's me is the safety aspect of it - How would they get that many people out in event of a fire etc.
Jump into the water
@@Wise101 lol..yeah what about none swimmers
Floats
@@semoneg2826 they had better learn quickly
I think you'd only be screwed if a fire raged on the upper floors.
This hotel is next to my undergraduate uni, just across the street. I graduated 3 years ago.
Love the design great concept
This is an epic project!
Beautiful
Rich guy from Munich plans to dig 60 Meter into the ground on his premises in a posh suburb.
Source?
I would visit this hotel, looks amazing.
Thats an amazing Earthscaper.
Amazing structure. Certainly not as well known as the Singapore n the Middle East hotel
Not Yet*
Epic!
Now this is a great idea! Would love to see more projects like this with innovative thinking.
Incredible architecture! I wish you could show the inside of the hotel and some rooms.
Un what about natural light ? Even so it’s a magnificent idea
Jaime Duncan the *ducted skylights* carry natural sunlight throughout the building.
Wao, I’ll love to go with my family there.
Check out prices first migt change your mind
Can't wait to stay there in the future, it helps when you work for the company
Hopr your rich as $30.000 a night . Dinner about $10.000
I LOVE YOU THE B1M
WE LOVE YOU TOO!
Any info on the underwater part?
this would probably be number one n my bucket list
Beautiful, inspired, amazing.
...and this type reporting is why I Subscribed to TheB1M
Those patents for pumping concrete will become very valuable when earthscrapers become a reality, what was the company again, might want to buy shares....
The company is called 'Government of China'.
@@norsejohn7248 or CCP 😂
At first I thought it was a click bait.
Me too.
I am so happy to see folks in other parts of the world leading in terms of low-impact construction. I work in a LEED Platinum building that makes for a number of interesting solutions. The roof was the largest photovoltaic array West of the Mississippi when it was put up in 2013. Oddly, it was significantly smaller than originally planned.
Theres another old quarry in Shanghai that got turned into a botanic garden. It was pretty awesome as well.
Cheers that was cool,just in the car waiting for the wife to get out of Asda,
Will be immersed in case of a massive flood
This channel is brilliant!
Uniquely Designed Hotel! Such Creative Ideas Achieved Through Outstanding Efforts!
The intercontinental by my house is lame
$US 3000 for the underwater rooms. Ouch.
Simply incredible, quite the engineering accomplishment no doubt. Great video.
A Malaysian businessman bought an abandon quarry too near Kuala lumpur 40 years ago,only much greater scale compare to this. It is 88 acre and about 150 feet at the deepest point below ground level. Now it have a water thyme park, a megamall, apartments, a zoo, a university and a 6 stars hotel. It is remarkable how a once unused land turn into a goldmine.
Sunway lagoon is a must visit place when you visit Kuala Lumpur.
I'd like to go there! Who else is with me?
Its absolutely ridiculous.
But in a good way.

Crazy underground buildings 👍🏻
From the country that builds megacities which nobody lives in: The environmentally friendly quarry hotel.
Do a Hudson site video in Detroit, it’s a new skyscraper
Detroit? GTFO!
Isnt Detroit being totally overhauled? Good idea then.
D.S.C. 123 what do you mean overhauled
@@livinthehighlife2310 I heard city planners have come up with a master plan for Detroit. A new outlook from the center out. Im no Michigander, so am I misinformed?
@@wwbdwwbd You gtfo
what an amazing piece of architecture
That is super awesome!!
How do they coope with Monsoon flooding?
@helena russel okay whatever, no reason to be rude
@helena russel your caps lock is showing.
Just drink the monsoon water?!
Shanghai doesn't have a monsoon season, but it certainly floods - particularly in the outer districts. It's actually the first thing I thought when I heard about this hotel getting constructed! I think they can manage to regulate the water level somehow, though. Also, this hotel is in the south west of the city, which has a totally different topography from most of the rest of the city.
userwhosinterestedin dude it's in shanghai 😂 not Vietnam or south east Asia. Learn your geography.
