This site, facing west in the mist plumed mountains of Lushan national park in Jiangxi Province, China, slopes towards the great lake of Xihai.  The dragon myth of China is still closely embedded in the modern populace which seeks ways to venerate their cultural heritage.  Morrelli found a special energy on this land with its natural springs feeding the lake.  This led to the concept of the Xihai Loong (Lake dragon) hotel of Lushan, in the form of a dragon bearing a crown, with the 9 villas placed like rocks in a river, all arranged above a modernist spa and health club conceived as a temple to the element of water.  This is no ordinary spa resort, more like stepping into a mystical kingdom. 

MPA proposes a five star, 88 room, hillside hotel with 9 branded villas and a world-class clubhouse spa all connected with a system of underground passages for Jiangxi province’s Lushan National park.
