[Huazhu·Future Grassland Lodging | Erdos Grassland Branch: A Nomadic Poetic Dwelling that Traverses Time and Space]
In the vast hinterland of the Ordos grasslands, a conversation about tradition and modernity, wildness and luxury, is quietly taking place. Huazhu·Future Grassland Resort (Ordos Grassland Branch) is not a hotel in the usual sense, but an immersive ecological art settlement, with the grasslands as its canvas, nomadic culture as its soul, and future design as its brushstrokes. It not only carries the pride and wisdom of millennial herdsmen, but also embraces the ultimate desire for freedom and tranquility of contemporary travelers.
The design inspiration for Suji stems from the Mongolian survival philosophy of migrating with the water and grass, yet it is reinterpreted in avant-garde architectural language. Scattered among the waves of grass, it resembles both a future base descending upon the grassland and a naturally growing cluster of oboos. The large floor-to-ceiling glass seamlessly brings the vast grassland, sunrise and sunset, and the vast starry sky into the interior, making the coexistence of living and nature a reality. Each guest room is not only a resting space, but also a "natural screening hall" facing the grassland.
Cultural experience is the deep vein of the lodging collection, and the healing atmosphere quietly permeates here. In the morning, you can brew milk tea with herdsmen, feed sheep and horses, and feel the simple daily life of nomadic life; as the morning light warms up, you can start a meditation in the secret grassland, allowing your body and mind to breathe with the grass and stretch with the breeze. The afternoon is diverse and rich. You can either ride a horse through the grass sea, letting the wind brush past your ears, or sit quietly in a quiet space, participate in the handmade craft of intangible cultural heritage felt painting or the making of Mongolian medicine incense candles, and settle your mind through fingertip creation. If you prefer deep healing, singing with a singing bowl and sound therapy experience are waiting to be started. The low-frequency sound waves intertwine with natural sounds, soothing your inner restlessness and fatigue. At dusk, the activity of copying scriptures adds a serene tone to the day's experience. In the dialogue between pen and ink and scriptures, you find inner peace. When night falls, the lodging collection will turn into a grassland theater: the wonderful blend of long-tune Mongolian songs, the sound of horse-head fiddle, and modern electronic music, surrounded by bonfires, sharing ancient legends - traditional nomadic civilization here is not a specimen, but a perceptible and participatory wave of life.
Gastronomy is also a journey through time. The restaurant deconstructs the essence of Mongolian cuisine with modern techniques: slow-cooked hand-pulled meat, molecular gastronomy cheese platter, accompanied by specially-crafted cocktails, completing a leap from history to the future on the gustatory level.
Huazhu·Future Grassland Lodging is not only a spiritual sanctuary for solitary travelers, but also a natural classroom for parent-child families and a place where creative communities can spark their inspiration. It does not provide standardized hotel services, but rather builds an experimental habitat that coexists with the grasslands, resonates with culture, and engages in a dialogue with the future. Here, there are no walls, only the freedom of the wind blowing through, and an endless grassland dream.
