The InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland, a stunning creation by the Shimao Group, goes beyond being just a hotel—it is a true architectural marvel. Constructed within a deep quarry, plunging 88 meters below the ground, it clings to the cliffside of this unique landscape. The hotel has garnered global recognition, even earning praise from National Geographic as a “miracle of world architecture.” Shimao’s commitment to harmonizing urban development with nature is evident in this project, where a once-scarred landscape is transformed into a beautiful retreat for guests to enjoy an unforgettable experience.

The hotel’s innovative use of the quarry’s natural cliffside has resulted in the creation of an immersive light show, titled “The Hidden Dream of Mountains and Seas.” This show blends elements from ancient Chinese mythological texts like The Classic of Mountains and Seas with themes from the classic literary work Journey to the Center of the Earth. Each evening, guests can witness the dramatic 18,000-square-meter light and shadow performance from their rooms or from the hotel’s central platform. Custom projections, including personalized logos, can be arranged for special events, adding a memorable touch to any celebration.
