HOTEL OF MODERN ART, (HOMA) CHINA
Nestled among the misty karst peaks, just 45 minutes from Guilin airport, are the sprawling grounds of Yuzi Paradise – a 534 hectare art park.
Yuzi is home to more than 100 large-scale sculptures by leading artists from all over the world and is the realisation of Taiwanese tycoon Rhy Chang Tsao’s dream of leaving a legacy of art and culture that will last 500 years.
As well as endless outdoor space, which has proved ideal for car launches, Yuzi has a theatre, conference rooms and two HOMA hotels – HOMA Relais and Chateaux with 46 individually designed rooms and spa, and the 118-room HOMA Sutra.
