Suzhou Jinji Lake is the sole 5A graded scenic location, with qualities suited for business tourism in China. Positioned on the lake's right bank, Jinji Lake Hotel boasts a splendid view of the lakefront and caters to both business and leisure guests. The hotel is connected to new cultural establishments, including central mall and the Contemporary Art Museum. The linear contour of the roof line and the observation wheel harmonizes with the skyline providing a tranquil scenery, which enhances the cultural milieu along the lake-shore. In this location where cultural heritage and contemporary innovation exist together, the combination of traditional gardening and contemporary art ignite a collision of passion. This unified expression represents two distinct sides of the city while showcasing the refined elegance of the new cultural monument along the lakeshore.

Through the design concept of gathering and unifying, the originally dispersed banqueting business and other areas that can be operated externally can be accumulated into attractions. These can then be connected with the surrounding cultural facilities such as Central Business and Modern art gallery, to energize its regional economic growth and sustainability.
