Purple Jade – “Slow River Bay”

A breathtaking landscape, near the nature reserve of the Changbai mountain range, on the border between China and Korea, forms the stunning backdrop to the country’s first smart eco-slow village. Nature inspired the design concept, taking the shape of a leaf, with the development of the new village following its contours. A common thread guides people along the entire route, from the entrance, symbolically representing the access point, to the opposite end, winding through the structures that make up the dispersed hotel spread across the entire island. The village is designed to be fully experienced, with a variety of commercial and entertainment activities that will animate it all year round. It is a place open to the community and social interaction, lively and enjoyable to discover, inspired by the guidelines of slow cities.
