The design of China's Fifth XiangYa Hospital will embrace the region’s landscape and allow users of the hospital and the entire community visual and physical access to a planned park, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website. The design team decided to split the campus into two distinct elements: a 1,700-bed general hospital and an 800-bed VIP hospital. By separating the two, the middle of the campus was opened up to frame the mountain park, the article said.
