The design includes the original scenic area entrance and several scattered supporting buildings. Upon first arriving at the site, faced with the scene of time-worn buildings in need of repair and lush vegetation, the architects first considered how to activate the elements hidden in the forest and enclosed within the building shells. Starting from the visitor experience, the architects made full use of the site's buildings, optimized the visitor circulation, and then carried out design and guided the renovation construction based on the principles of "light intervention" and "rediscovering place memory". It is hoped that what will be completely renewed in the future is not just the architecture, but a more harmonious scene of man and nature coexisting in the transitional space.
