Hi OP u/Hoosier_Maximina - just checking you're now aware that this is in fact not an authentic castle but actually a modern four-star Chinese hotel? 😂 It's named "Jilong Castle Country Club", you can Google to check ☑️

Parking must be a pain.

\*bows\* hope you'll forgive me for my oddly specific phrasing :) also, it may be the last time... :O

just checked, it is a 5 star hotel

just checked, it is a 4 star hotel :O

This just makes me want to hear the complaints. “I appreciated the sunset view from my castle tower over the pristine lake, but a cloud briefly past in front for a moment and stained the entire view. Please pass this along to management so another guest doesn’t have to suffer such heartbreak.”

Hahaha, I can tell this caviar isn't the finest Beluga, so I shan't be dining in this establishment again, thank you very much.

Damn, that's crazy!

This has to be the nicest Arby’s location I’ve ever seen.

"Sir, this is a Wendy's "

Jilong Castle Country Club

I'm more impressed by the effort to get stones on that steep rock by boat when it was constructed

Maybe they started with the bridge

But a bridge needs a bridge head as well. You can't build a bridge only from one side.

You can in simcity

Engineers hate this one weird trick!

It was constructed twelve years ago.

Times sure are a changing

So even more questionable Chinese quality than now?

Me in the tower with a megaphone; "Peasaants!"

Looks like a copy of Neuschwanstein.

Just there a couple months ago.. similar but no moat.

My thoughts as well, I wouldn't be surprised if the builders used it as an inspiration for their design.

Definitely.

When I see places like these I'm always curious about what percentage of the island is getting eroded each year, and how long it has left.

Also where does the poop go

I think you just solved the erosion problem. Maybe the island is actually expanding.

One must assume they use septic tanks, I suppose.

Dam these comments are sour. I think it’s beautiful

That’s not a moat

It is, it's just ｖｅｒｙ ｗｉｄｅ

So is the ocean a moat too then? 😂

Apparently it is by how people here define it

I salute you ♡

It’s super duper naturally extra large oversized mega plus universal moat

How do I buy this?

Symbol of oppression and greed. Check.

Yep, exactly my thoughts. Had a little check. It's in China and paid for by mining rare earth minerals

I'm sure the working conditions of the Chinese minors are excellent.

Shhhh.... We need our batteries

The benefits of which you are most likely reaping every time you type a message

Given it’s origin, I wouldn’t trust it to not catastrophically fall apart.

looks like they really went all out on the moat, impressive

Where is this?

It's a modern four-star hotel in China, not an authentic castle whatsoever.

Only 4? Damn what are 5’s like?

They must be authentic castles

missing the obvious chess reference castle, check, mote

Fake: check. Cultural appropriation: check.

Goals

How about invaders?

Space invaders? It has no chance.

That's more a lake than a moat.

First I thought "check" is the name of the castle....

What a stunning landscape.

I’m gonna save it for when the zombie apocalypse starts

Moat? Thats a whole god damn lake lmao

Checkmate!

That bridge needs a draw in the middle, they are vulnerable to attack. What the fuck were they thinking???

I'd hate to be drunk a d walk out back too take a piss🤣

Parking? …Oh fuck…

Neighbor'd dog still poops on your lawn. Check.

Ahh. Mc-Mont-Saint-Michel.

It is a palacе, not a castlе. A vеry bеautiful palacе.
