Designers adopted the gestalt geometry strategy as a positive means to deal with the contrast between artificial and natural, and achieved the Oriental aesthetic conception of "round sky, square place, elegant and peaceful" with the surrounding natural landscape, which is also the abstract expression of mermaid harmonious culture.
The continuous undulating roof of the circular tourism distribution center is not only a strange tribute to the Ma'anshan wall, which is common in the residential areas of eastern Fujian, but also a kind of freehand village image integrated among the six scattered monomers.
The square cultural activity center adopts the opposite strategy. Under the unified roof, a number of small blocks are interspersed and combined, just like the miniature city of Jorn Utzon in the Kuwait National Assembly Building. In order to avoid the linear dullness of the underlying footpath, the designers set up a number of independent circular "traffic elements" and rotating and staggered rectangular "joy elements", so as to obtain the conflict pleasure different from the traditional street.
