Ranah Resort Anji, a collaborative effort by Peter Rich, laureate of the Lifetime Architecture Achievement Award in South Africa, and founder Jin Weiping, took twelve years to complete. Constructed with hundreds of thousands of tons of natural stone, the resort spans approximately 1,800 acres and stands as one of the few Chinese works selected for the Venice Biennale of Architecture. Its inclusion stems from its profound exploration of stone architecture and symbiosis with nature, aligning with the Biennales artistic vision. It has been acclaimed as the Chinese version of Gaudí Park.With over 120 suites nestled within stone-built spaces, the resort breathes in harmony with mountain breezes, streams, and morning mists. It is not a conventional hotel but a reconstructed rural haven for urban dwellersa place to return to nature and rediscover authenticity. It is also a natural playground for children to connect with the wild. Coming here is not merely an overnight stay; it is coming home.
