The project is located in Gouqi Island in Zhoushan Shengsi, known as the "Little Greece" in the east, the easternmost in habited island of the motherland, a treasure island away from the hustle and bustle of the city with a 4-hour ferry ride.

The hotel is based on a natural and pristine cliff outside the round about road in the southwest of Gouqi Island,embraced by the bay, and the overall sea environment is rather introverted and peaceful.



When the Cliff Hotel was first designed, it was faced with the anxiety of designing a hotel that would be "invisible" to the city in the face of a deserted site, but at the same time, the hotel itself was also "invisible", because the highest point of the hotel had to be lower than the round about in the planning conditions in 1.5 meters, that means from the island's round about road you can only see the roof of the hotel, a hotel hidden in the cliffs.

The transformation of the cliff will eventually form a new "artificial cliff", and the guest rooms, as an important element of the hotel, will become the elements that shape the new cliff in a unitary way, and finally become one with the cliff.
