  2. About the Project: Majority of people wish to not only travel to visit a gorgeous getaway location for vacation but also to make meaningful memories and connections. Others hope to gain valuable knowledge and surround themselves with plentiful history. Finding a unique place that fuses these prospects of being aesthetic, entertaining, and educational, which is also family-friendly, is an appealing commodity for the diversity of taste and finesse. “Atlantis of the East” is an architectural proposal that delivers guests to an ancient underwater city of China. Located 40 meters below the beautiful Qiandao Lake in Shicheng is the historical Lion City built in the Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago. The government’s construction of Xin’anjiang Reservoir in 1959 sank the city and coincidentally created an artificial lake with thousands of islands around. The city was named after the Wushi mountains, which stands for “Five Lion Mountain” and was once the center of politics, economics and culture. We propose a holistic experience that immerses our guest in the rich historical context of the people that once roamed the Lion City. By combining an architectural infrastructure with innovative use of underwater submarines and augmented reality technology, we hope to bridge the distance between time and place to bring the past and present together.
