Sanjiao Eco Island Resort Masterplanning

Sanjiao Eco Island Resort Masterplanning is a groundbreaking sustainable tourism development project that represents China's pioneering initiative to transform an uninhabited island into an integrated eco-tourism destination. This innovative masterplan encompasses 90 hectares of pristine island terrain and integrates 100,000 square meters of thoughtfully designed built area, establishing new standards for maritime tourism resource development. The masterplan is distinguished by its sophisticated organization into eight distinct themed zones, each carefully crafted to preserve and enhance the island's natural characteristics while offering unique visitor experiences. These zones include the Hanging Gardens, Shining Bay, Floating Town, Moon Lake, Tropical Utopia, and Eden Cove, all interconnected through a cohesive ecological narrative that spans a 3-kilometer immersive journey around the island. The architectural approach emphasizes sustainability and environmental integration, featuring innovative designs such as a museum hotel concealed within the tropical hillside, a lagoon hotel with integrated dive-in pools, and a flight-themed resort positioned at the island's summit. The development's commitment to environmental stewardship is evident in its green vehicle policy, comprehensive water park, sailing school, and nature preserve, all designed to facilitate year-round tourism while maintaining ecological balance. The project, which received the Silver A' Design Award in the Urban Planning and Urban Design category, demonstrates exceptional achievement in sustainable architectural strategies and innovative tourism planning, setting new benchmarks for ecological resort development while preserving the island's natural heritage through the thoughtful use of stone and vegetation in its architectural elements.
