Today, a generation growing up in an environment of electronic products lacks contact with nature, leading to increased rates of obesity, attention disorders, and depression. This project aims to invite children to reconnect to nature, it fully retains and utilizes the existing mountain forests and spring water resources for low-cost and micro-renovation transformation, turning the site’s rugged terrain disadvantage into an advantage, and making the journey itself an interesting nature path of exploration. In the post-epidemic era, this project is more popular among children and parents.
