Inspired by the unique landscape and mining heritage of Shuǐnǎndòng, Ruifang, this design bridges past and present within the context of tourism transformation. The space serves not only as a resting point, but also as a gateway to local stories. Natural materials and vernacular elements invite travelers to perceive the passage of time and the warmth of the land. This waystation is a momentary pause, a memorable landscape, and an invitation to resonate with the mountains, the sea, and collective memory.
