When we think of a sandcastle (沙堡), it is usually a beautiful building but it is not suitable to live in. However, two early built sand hotels are built in the cities of Oss and Sneek, in the Netherlands (荷 兰), during the popular sand sculpture festivals (沙雕节) every year. People can experience life in them. Here is something useful about the sand hotels.

The developer, Zand Hotel, said the idea to build the huge sand hotels came from the ice hotels. However, visitors to those have to sleep on ice beds in low temperatures and have no electricity or Wi-Fi. But the guests at the sand hotels don’t have to face the difficulties.

That’s because the buildings may be made from sand, but each room has all the things of a common hotel, such as wood beds, showers and toilets. So, they can rest easily. Each room also has running water, windows, electricity and Wi-Fi. It only costs $172 a night, even including a European breakfast and a free tour of the nearby sand sculpture festival.

Building the sand hotels wasn’t easy. It took five weeks and over 2,000,000 pounds of sand to build each room. Not surprisingly, the one-of-a-kind hotels are a huge hit with both locals and visitors. And they have been fully booked since they opened in early May. Unluckily, with the sand festivals drawing to a close, the building will soon have to come crumbling down (坍塌). The one in Sneek will shut its doors on September 29th while the other is planned to close on October 4th. But don’t be sad.The developer already has plans to rebuild the sandcastles in the Netherlands next year, and also plans similar festivals in the U.K. and Germany!
