Alila Yangshuo Hotel, Yangshuo, Guilin, Guangxi, China

Dong Gong
Chinese, born 1972
2013–2017
A digital photograph by Dong Gong that captures a board‑formed concrete stair and terrace at the Alila Yangshuo Hotel, showing how the architect used bold, raw concrete to frame and respond to the surrounding karst landscape.
Monumental, ribbed concrete planes and sharp diagonals form a sculptural stair and overhangs whose textured surfaces and repeating beams lead the eye toward a latticed balustrade and the lush limestone hills beyond.
The image documents a moment in contemporary regional modernism where honest, board‑formed concrete and careful siting translate modernist and Brutalist ideas into a tourism architecture attuned to place, while architectural photography makes that tactile spatial experience visible to viewers.
