“Water is the most perfect traveler because when it travels it becomes the path itself.”
Dulong Hotel - Dulongjiang, Yunnan, China
Located in one of the most secluded areas of China, in the vicinity of the border with Myanmar, it takes about one day from the nearest airport to reach the site of this project. Up until the 50s, Dulong minority was simply isolated from the rest of the world, only from time to time surviving Tibetan invasions. Although they don’t have a written language, they use as a communication method the signs left around the trees. Dulongjiang is situated between two mountains, one that is 3000m and the other one 4000m. There is high humidity in this area, so the people say that “one day a ladder fell from the sky and that’s how we came on the Earth.”
