The entity identified in the research notes as the Lushan Hotel (Mount Lu) is treated as a hotel or hospitality establishment located in or serving the Mount Lu (Lushan) area in Lushan County, Ya'an, Sichuan, China. The supplied source material does not provide a construction date, ownership record specific to this hotel, or an authoritative modern corporate name linking the building to a particular chain. A corporate profile for Dorsett Hospitality International appears in the corpus but does not explicitly identify the company as owner or manager of any Lushan Hotel in the provided excerpts; that linkage is therefore marked uncertain. The available sources focus on the April 20, 2013 earthquake that struck the Ya'an/Lushan area. Amateur Radio Newsline and WIA News report that Lushan County was badly hit, describing widespread damage, landslides, toppled houses, disrupted roads and bridges, scores of dead and injured, and large numbers made homeless. Those reports emphasize emergency response activities including volunteer relief and amateur radio operators providing emergency communications. The supplied material contains no descriptions of hauntings, apparitions, poltergeist activity, or other paranormal phenomena associated with the Lushan Hotel or Mount Lu hotel structures. Culturally and historically, Mount Lu (Lushan) and Lushan County are significant as a region affected by major seismic events (the April 2013 quake and contextual reference to the 2008 Sichuan earthquake). The supplied excerpts document humanitarian and communications responses to the disaster but do not include folklore, ghost stories, or named supernatural entities tied to the hotel. Because multiple disaster-response sources consistently report only earthquake effects and no paranormal claims, the assessment that no paranormal phenomena are present in the supplied sources is given a high level of confidence.
