Muh Shoou Xixi is a hotel set within the Xixi Wetland. The hotel is renovated from five old buildings that stood on the site. The structural transformation was made with minimal intervention, so the buildings connect smoothly with the surrounding forest and water system. Trees with a trunk diameter of 10 centimeters or more were recorded by species, name and root level, and the layout follows the original vegetation, mainly persimmon trees. A banquet hall of 300 square meters is enclosed by windows on three sides. A water route based on the original landform allows arrival by boat.
