Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic June 13, 2012 Share June 13, 2012 Couldn't believe that China is coming out with such an amazing hotel built inside a deep gorge. With full sport facilities. The hotel tuck somewhere in Songjiang province. The five-star luxury hotel with some levels of the hotel situated under water....

SimonTan 2nd Gear June 13, 2012 Share June 13, 2012 Thats one hell of a waterproofing nightmare. Also hope that region got no 'once in 50years' heavy rain. The gorge could flood if the water pumps are not able to pump out the rain water fast enough. And if the water proofing fail, then the underground waters are going to seep into the gorge area. I love such grand dreams. China Xing(boleh). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying in this hotel, they teach you how to use scuba diving equipment and all scuba diving equipment are found under their beds.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic June 13, 2012 Author Share June 13, 2012 Looks like they could use some of their mega dam construction experience from the three gorges. Bell Boy : going down which level? Guess : 18th level down .... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaiyotakamli Supersonic June 13, 2012 Share June 13, 2012 All I can say is: Made In China Take your cue from there. Talk is cheap. cos made in china good made up more than 50% of world's consumer goods and goods you see everyday is made in china which u bought cheap cheap, so relatively u think china goods many are lousy when in fact most goods u use are made in china. China has been creating many great architectures and in fact i believe they are better than sg when building infrastructure like expressway, tunnel, dam, skyscraper and even transportation. Dun belittle China hor and P.S I am not Ah Tiong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
