LN Garden Hotel,Zhanjiang - Exterior

Zhanjiang is the urban beating heart that powers the Beibu Gulf. Riding the current wave of development,the Beibu Gulf is a unique region nestled alongside the majestic South China Sea. Beginning from last year,a new national level development strategy was proposed with Shantou and Zhanjiang being named as the cities at opposite ends of the Guangdong Coastal Economic Belt Program. In line with this strategy the provincial government of Guangdong has put forth a regional coordinated development plan with Zhanjiang being named as the blueprint from which new developments throughout the region will eventually be modeled upon. As one of the two endpoints of the Guangdong Coastal Economic Belt Program and an emerging coastal tourism destination,the already vibrant city of Zhanjiang has been infused with new vitality.

Coastal Landmark: Extraordinary All-in-One Experience

Jinsha Bay Plaza,where the LN Garden Hotel,Zhanjiang is located,is a landmark urban commercial center situated in the middle of the Jinsha Bay Ocean View Promenade. The promenade is a national 4A level scenic area and one of the sparkling jewels of Zhanjiang. The physical property which the hotel is at was built with investment by western Guangdong's famous Wanxiang Group. The 200-meter super skyscraper towers over both the city and harbor allowing for beautiful views in all directions while also becoming a landmark site in and of itself. Facing directly towards the Zhanjiang Bay Bridge and Zhanjiang Olympic Center Stadium on the other shore,the hotel is in close proximity to the International Convention and Exhibition Center. The site seamlessly blends vibrant urban districts with the tranquil susurration of the harbor waters beating against the shore. Leaving the LN Garden Hotel,it is only a fifteen minute journey by car to either the Zhanjiang Airport or the local High Speed Railway Station. Travel time to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is about two hours.

Flanking the entrance to the hotel are two lighthouse shaped buildings. As the lighthouses of yore served to guard mariners against the dangers of hidden shoals,so too these two buildings which will bear witness to the transformation of this coastal region are the symbolic guardians of the hopes and dreams of Jinsha Bay.

When one first steps foot into the lobby,it is impossible not to be astonished and delighted by the ingenious design. Butting up against the top of the grand entranceway,the interior dome ceiling arches overhead six stories above the ground like the vaulted roof of a European cathedral. At the same time,the hotel's close connection to the sea is seen in the colors of the floor to ceiling glass walls of the main lobby. At dawn,the radiant clouds of sunrise curl themselves around the shoulders of a golden day. Throughout the day,the light of the sun strikes the crystal prism of the main chandelier and scatters brilliant splashes of sunshine like raindrops. As night falls,the space is lit up with fixtures resembling the traditional nets used by local fishermen. Whether guests are staying overnight at the hotel,attending a conference,or just stopping by for a visit to the restaurants or Sky Garden,visitors to the hotel will find themselves bowed over by the spectacle of a unique place which seems to be caught halfway between heaven and earth.
