The "Deep Pit Hotel", the lowest lying hotel in the world, opens in Shanghai today. It has two floors above ground and 16 underground – two underground floors are even underwater. The hotel has in total 336 guest rooms.
National Geographic called it the world's architecture miracle. Guest room starts from around 4,000 yuan per night on some of the online tourism sites.
It is also called the 'Quarry Hotel' since it's built on a site which earlier was a quarry.
