The Mingfa Fengyang Hotel is located in Fengyang County, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, China, and is meticulously crafted by the Mingfa Group, covering a total construction area of 38,000 square meters. Fengyang, a city rich in history, is not only the birthplace of the Ming Dynasty but also the site of the Ming Dynasty's central capital ruins and the origin of the phoenix legend. The design of the hotel draws inspiration from these historical elements, with every aspect of the architectural appearance and interior details infused with Ming culture and phoenix motifs, creating a cultural charm that transcends time.



Lead designer Mr. Zhang Qihong, with his profound understanding of Eastern culture and unique insights into Zen philosophy, has established the hotel's design on the foundation of China's brilliant historical civilization. He strives to explore a new vitality in contemporary Eastern aesthetics while committing to the preservation of traditional Chinese culture. The design philosophy of the hotel aims to integrate the natural landscape into the architecture, making a thousand years of cultural history accessible to guests. Every step offers a unique view, and every turn continues the cultural narrative, achieving a harmonious unity between the interior and exterior, and showcasing a design concept that embraces simplicity.



The hotel itself is like a heavy historical tome, with each space telling a story and every corner bearing a memory, collectively weaving vibrant historical scenes. This design not only enhances the cultural connotation of the hotel but also establishes it as a shining landmark for regional cultural tourism.



The design employs the Zen principle of "form reveals essence, and essence manifests form," where culture and form are interdependent. Tangible design expresses intangible cultural significance, while intangible culture shapes tangible design. This approach of mutual generation between the tangible and the intangible aims to satisfy modern spiritual pursuits, guiding people to let go of restlessness and return to inner peace, creating a space filled with Zen-like tranquility.

The Mingfa Fengyang Hotel is not just a place to stay; it is a perfect fusion of Eastern aesthetics and regional culture.
