FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Located on a cliff 40 meters above the ground in Xishuangbanna, Bodu Resort is a testament to Can Zhang's innovative approach to hotel design. The hotel embraces thousands of mu of forest, offering guests a chance to immerse themselves in the mild and humid climate of Southeast Asia and experience the rich and diverse ethnic customs of the region.

The suspended "glass box" structure serves as a bridge between the hotel and nature, creating a harmonious and symbiotic relationship that is truly unparalleled in the realm of resort hotels.
Can Zhang's emphasis on using local materials and drawing inspiration from the regional culture is evident in the project's 4000 square meters of space. The use of teak, old elm, brick, and stone bamboo weaving mechanisms commonly found in local villages reflects the designer's commitment to showcasing the local architectural aesthetics.
The Bodu Resort project, which commenced in May 2017 and concluded in December 2019, stands as a testament to Can Zhang's dedication to reflecting contemporary design within the unique regional context of Xishuangbanna. Overcoming the challenges of seamlessly integrating architecture, interior design, and nature, Bodu Resort is a true masterpiece that exemplifies the designer's vision.
