Guesthouse offers space to learn heritage
It also functions as an exhibition and experience site in Beijing for people to get close to intangible cultural heritage and carry on the tradition by joining workshops and study camps. The site is equipped with fine restaurants, a cafe, bookstores and the boutique guesthouse.
"We are investing approximately 190 million yuan ($26.2 million) to carry out new plans and a comprehensive transformation of the original old liuli kiln area," said Jiang Yingwu, chairman of Beijing BBMG Corporation, according to a report by Chinese-language newspaper People's Daily.
The State-owned company, which is engaged in the production of building materials and property development and management, is in charge of the revamp of the industry park.
As the reputation of the park grows, an increasing number of guests choose the Land of Arts and Crafts to spend a weekend.
The guesthouse was constructed upon the remnants of the ancient kiln site, blending traditional features with contemporary design elements.
With a total floor area of 3,500 square meters, the Lands of Arts and Crafts possesses 20 fine designed rooms, each with its own courtyard, surrounded by gardens. The decoration of the gardens changes each season, according to different themes and styles to meet the various demands of guests.
