GANSHU CONVENTION CENTER
Convention Center / Hotel
Ganshu, China
2007
This magnificent high-rise hotel dominates and defines the surrounding convention center complex in Lanzhou, China, the bustling capital of Ganshu Province. The hotel's shining exterior and curved shape are in perfect harmony with the overall symbol for the entire complex: a series of undulating, brightly colored roof panels that call to mind the Buddhist prayer flags waving over this ancient city. Rising high above nearby structures, this 6-star hotel also offers dramatic views of China's historic Yellow River and an adjacent landscaped greenbelt.
