Beijing Yanbai Villa (北京雁柏山庄)

Yanbai Villa positions itself as a boutique - themed museum - style hotel, extending the traditional hotel - staying experience to a 27,000 - square - meter garden. With every step, there is a different view, creating a brand - new experience of being in a painted - scene. The architectural design concept of "harmony without uniformity" is reflected through the integration of old and new materials, construction methods, and techniques. The overall layout of the site is inspired by the painting A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains (千里江山图) by Wang Ximeng, a painter in the Song Dynasty. The architectural and landscape patterns are modeled after the painting Four - Season Landscape Painting (四季山水图) by Liu Songnian, another painter in the Song Dynasty. The layout is magnificent, showing details in the grandeur; the buildings are simple and elegant, with grandeur in the details. Eight landscape zones have been formed, namely "Spring Sunlight", "Green - Surrounded Tower", "Listening to the Waterfall on the Stone Bridge", "Water Pavilion in the Breeze", "Berlin and Flowing Spring", "Chatting in the Melon Shed", "Autumn Coolness by Baixi Stream", and "Crane Pond and Winter Plum", covering the beauty of the mountain - water gardens in the four seasons.
