Located in the middle of the lake, the "cyclic tour route" system of the Lianhuadang Tourist Center combines publicity, sustainability, and sociality while creating an experience like wandering in a garden. With the comprehensive mapping of characteristic hollow bricks commonly used in the local area and partial construction marks, the inner triangular courtyard creates a kind of spatial depth between internal and external. The material transition of vegetation, floor tiles, and wooden boards further enhances people’s perception of different heights and spatial organization.
