Though Shaliao Village is famous for its river delicacies and attracts numerous tourists, it lacks distinctive accommodation experiences and falls into silence at night.
The renovation of this homestay is precisely to fill this gap. Its name "HAJANA" means liberating one's nature, aiming to create a unique mini-vacation destination that combines the vitality of tropical islands with the customs of the Tanka fishing village.
In terms of design, the resort first solved the problem of the hidden entrance of the original building by creating eye-catching guiding devices combining lines and colors at the village entrance. The outdoor space uses bright colors to create a relaxed vacation atmosphere, and the footpath from the entrance to the front desk offers a ritual walking experience.
The swimming pool area is equipped with a gradient color fence echoing the water color of the Xijiang River, the lighting design is improved, and a mosaic wall with both check-in and open-air cinema functions is built.
In addition, the resort's renovation has been in in-depth cooperation with local villagers throughout the process, giving priority to employing them in construction and maintenance, which not only provides job opportunities for villagers but also makes the resort truly rooted in the local area.
Inside, 14 guest rooms are retained in number, with room types re-planned and two major themes created: Lingnan retro style and exotic coastal vacation style. The king-size rooms focus on the creation of rest areas, while family-friendly rooms add game tents, outdoor courtyards and creative wooden boat spaces. All furniture and green plants are carefully selected, balancing texture and practicality.
The renovated HAJANA River View Resort has not only become a characteristic accommodation option in Shaliao Village, complementing the local catering and homestays, but also reshaped the time dimension of the village. It serves as a resting station for tourists during the day and transforms into a unique "night fishing village reception hall" in the Pearl River Delta at night, exploring a new path for the integration of traditional fishing and modern vacation in Shaliao Village.
