The architectures in the BFC are all very impressive, but this freshman does stand out. The creation came from the tassels of the traditional wedding headdress in China. There are 675 aluminum alloy tassels in total, forming some beautiful curves. The curves will flow accompanied by world famous music every 2 hours from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The four-floor bed and breakfast is the highlight of the Eight tenths Garden. Each room (5 in total) has a sky yard and there is also a courtyard in the public area. They are all traditional Chinese courtyards. Eight tenths Garden is the first try to build real air villas.
