## The place

Crosswaters Ecolodge & Spa is a pioneering luxury eco-resort nestled in the breathtaking Nankunshan National Scenic Area of Guangdong province, approximately 120 km northeast of Guangzhou. Built over the Zuo River on a unique canopy suspension system, the resort elevates guests above the rainforest floor, offering an immersive experience in one of China's most architecturally distinctive nature retreats. Designed by Miha Bramac, Crosswaters is celebrated for its innovative architecture and strong commitment to ecological sustainability. The resort's location is a visual feast, with Nankunshan's limestone karst landscape featuring ancient forests, granite peaks, and cascading waterfalls. This stunning backdrop enhances the wellness program, which integrates traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapies, nature-based treatments, and forest wellness practices. Guests can truly disconnect from the urban intensity of Guangzhou's Pearl River Delta and immerse themselves in a serene, remote environment. Accommodations at Crosswaters include 'Treehouse' villas and suites, constructed from sustainable bamboo and local timber. These unique lodgings are suspended on stilts above the forest, featuring glass walls and canopy-level terraces that invite the sounds of the river and forest into the living space. The spa offers a range of treatments inspired by Guangdong's rich herbal medicine tradition, including Cantonese herbal steam treatments, acupuncture, tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage), and rejuvenating mineral spring bathing. Crosswaters has garnered attention from notable publications such as the New York Times, Wallpaper*, and CNN Travel, solidifying its reputation as one of Asia's most extraordinary eco-retreat experiences.
