"Deep in Wuhan's Dongxihu District, there's a metasequoia forest where migratory birds gather, and something extraordinary has taken root among the ancient trees. Secret Camp isn't your typical forest retreat. This collaboration between United Investment Merryda Hotel Management Group and Wiki World has created something that feels part accommodation, part art installation, and entirely magical. More than a dozen treehouses rise through the canopy on Cihui Street, each one carefully positioned so that not a single existing tree was harmed in the process."
"The creators drew inspiration directly from the forest itself - local birds, scattered seeds, the organic forms that nature creates without any human input. Every structure sits on elevated timber platforms, leaving the forest floor completely untouched. No paved paths, no manicured landscaping, just the raw beauty of the woodland ecosystem doing what it does best. This approach embodies Wiki World's "Build Small, Dream Big" philosophy,"
Deep in Wuhan's Dongxihu District, a metasequoia forest hosts more than a dozen uniquely designed treehouses along Cihui Street. United Investment Merryda Hotel Management Group partnered with Wiki World to create Secret Camp, a hybrid of accommodation and art installation that prioritizes minimal environmental impact. Named units like Time Machine, Nomadic Land, Playground, Daydream, Red Windmill and Unicorn employ varied materials and forms—mirrored cladding, silver panels, lofts and playful circulation paths—to convey distinct narratives. All structures rest on elevated timber platforms positioned so not a single existing tree was harmed; the forest floor remains untouched with no paved paths or manicured landscaping. The designs draw on local birds, scattered seeds and organic forms under the 'Build Small, Dream Big' philosophy.
