Starry Haven-Space Capsule Eco-Camping Ground

Shandong Yiwan, an integrated supplier specializing in production, sales, and R&D, partnered with Zhejiang Jinghan Scenic Area Management Company in 2024. Upon learning that the client possessed unique natural beach resources, it was evident that traditional hotels could not meet the growing demand for distinctive, comfortable, and nature-friendly accommodation experiences. Additionally, the scenic area faced significant constraints due to land use and environmental regulations, limiting large-scale construction and making it highly susceptible to seasonal fluctuations in tourism. To enhance overall competitiveness while controlling investment costs, the client sought to create a benchmark project with a focus on innovation, technology, and ecological principles. Our company actively responded by proposing intelligent, modular space capsule house products and comprehensive services.

Our company dispatched technical personnel for on-site inspections and provided prefabricated standard and custom-sized space capsule house units based on the actual conditions. The hull features a fluorocarbon aluminum alloy shell and a galvanized steel seismic-resistant structure, offering moisture-proof, corrosion-resistant, rust-proof, seismic-resistant, and wind-resistant properties, ensuring durability for over 50 years. Additionally, it employs double-layered insulated LOW-E glass, The 270-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling window design offers excellent thermal insulation and high light transmission, providing insulation, heat retention, and soundproofing. It maximizes the presentation of the core scenic resources of the area, bringing nature “into” the indoor space, making it the standout feature of each pod. Additionally, the space pods come with built-in supports, allowing them to be installed on various terrains such as mountains, slopes, and forests, with flexible layout options to form a harmonious landscape cluster. This maximizes the utilization of previously underutilized scattered plots within the scenic area, enhancing land value.

Our company's core advantage lies in the fact that the project was completed from signing to the first batch of pods being put into use in just two months, significantly faster than traditional construction. The pods are precisely positioned via crane installation, causing minimal disruption to the original terrain and fully aligning with ecological conservation requirements. Additionally, the pods are fully equipped with smart home appliances, including voice/app control for lighting, air conditioning, electric curtains, and ambient lighting. Furthermore, the campground offers customized amenities such as branded mattresses, private bathrooms, underfloor heating/air conditioning, and kitchens, tailored to the hotel's needs. It provides various configurations, including single cabins, interconnected double cabins, and family suites, to accommodate the needs of couples, families, and small groups.

Since the campsite successfully opened in June 2024, market response has been overwhelming, with performance far exceeding expectations:

Occupancy rate: The average occupancy rate in the first year of operation reached 85%. During peak seasons/holidays, reservations must be made 2-3 months in advance, and even during off-peak seasons, the occupancy rate remains stable above 65%, effectively reducing seasonal fluctuations in the scenic area.

RevPAR (Average Revenue Per Available Room): Significantly higher than traditional hotels within the scenic area and surrounding competitors, exceeding them by 30%.

Return on Investment: Based on current operational data provided by the hotel, the investment payback period is expected to be within 3 years, with an ideal return rate.

Brand Influence and Reputation: Quickly became a popular tourist spot, attracting a steady stream of young people, and won the 2024 Best Innovative Cultural Tourism Project Award.

It maintains a high user rating of 4.8 on Meituan App, with visitors particularly praising the “stunning views,” “strong technological feel,” “comfort exceeding expectations,” and “unique and unforgettable experience,” driving secondary consumption such as dining, entertainment, and guided tours within the scenic area. It has become the core attraction and calling card of the scenic area, enhancing its brand premium. It has attracted a high-end customer base seeking quality experiences (family-friendly, young couples, corporate team-building), optimizing the visitor demographic structure. The modular construction method maximizes the protection of native vegetation and terrain. It reduces energy consumption and water usage in camp operations, earning recognition from environmental authorities. The prefab space capsule house is durable and robust, with relatively low maintenance costs. The intelligent system simplifies daily energy management and room control complexity.

The head of Jinghan Scenic Area stated: “Collaborating with Shandong Yiwan to introduce space capsule houses was a crucial step in the scenic area's upgrade and transformation. Their modular, intelligent, and eco-friendly characteristics perfectly addressed our pain points. The project not only achieved rapid results but, more importantly, provided visitors with an unprecedented immersive natural experience, significantly enhancing our scenic area's competitiveness and profitability. The unique image of the space capsules has also become a powerful symbol for our promotions.” This is a highly successful collaboration model.
