As you travel along the winding mountain road and through the dark tunnel, the end suddenly opens up to reveal pink and white weeping cherry trees blooming in the spring breeze, as if stepping into a real-life version of "The Peach Blossom Spring." Inspired by the idea of "Shangri-La," I. M. Pei designed the building to be mostly buried in the mountains, with glass and stone shimmering subtly in the light and shadows.
