The design aims to bring back the life and emotions of Eastern spaces themselves—'not in the mountains, not in spring, but in the paths and the journey.' The project takes the 'Stirring Realm' from 'Spring Walk on Mountain Paths' as its spiritual undertone, turning a 140-meter-long urban façade into a slowly unfolding scroll: the nine-meter-tall hip-and-gable roof is inspired by the 'hall and roof in one' of an-cient Central Plains architecture, 1,100 intangible heritage ceramic pieces are cast like chime bells, and the hammered bronze door is hand-forged millions of times to embody Eastern tranquility. The 76-meter-deep site is transformed into a canyon forest, and between 6.5-meter-tiered waterfalls stands an intangible heritage mortise-and-tenon pagoda pavilion cantilevered in mid-air. The design breaks pro-fessional boundaries, using an integrated approach to seamlessly blend architecture, interiors, and landscape. As visitors move through it, they are slowly led into a relaxed state of 'awakening and journeying with all things'—a genuine response to contemporary Eastern living.
