Ruralation Museum Hotel / AZL Architects

History of Earth and Human Tangshan is located at the eastern foot of Zijin Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, where the skull of "Nanjing ape man" dating back to about 600,000 years was found here in the early 1990s. Tangshan Fangshan National Geological Park is a national geological park with the themes of Tangshan Ape-man Cave, geological section, hot spring and Neogene Volcano. As a supporting project of Nanjing Homo Erectus Relic Museum, Ruralation Museum Hotel is located in Tangshan Homo Erectus Relic Park. The site is chosen at an abandoned quarry site on the southwest side of Nanjing Homo Erectus Relic Museum. In recent years, the mountains around the site have undergone ecological restoration and risk elimination by removing pumice, protecting with nets and other measures, and the exposed precipice have become the natural barrier and the rough background of the building.
