Underground Hotel in Shanghai

Intercontinental Shimao Shanghai
Construction has begun on the Intercontinental Shimao Shanghai Wonderland, a 19-story hotel outside of Shanghai, China. Almost all those floors will be below ground level. Building them is not as difficult as you’d think at first, as the site is a former rock quarry and most of the underground digging has already been done. There will be an underwater restaurant at the bottom.

Sins nightclub - Diani Reef Hotel
The closest I have been to any underground place that is not a parking lot is the Mau Mau caves (Kenya) and it's not like they are exactly underground..... and Diani Reef Hotel's Sins nightclub (Diani Beach) which is built in / around coral reefs! It would be awesome to actually spend a night in an underground hotel although I might feel as though I am trapped in there....LOL!!What do you think?

  2. I think I might feel a little claustrophobic. I don't like being underground or underwater very long.

    Interesting and unique, thanks for sharing.

  4. Have you ever been the caves of Mount Suswa in the Rift Valley, or to more caves in the Chyulu Hills from Kibwezi - lots of underground tunnels and caves! Even in Mount Elgon National Park.
