Sunbi Zitan Scenic Area
SunbiZitan Scenic Area is a landscape and commercial district located at the southwest corner of a wetland park, with a plot area of about 110,000 square meters. The layout continues the pattern of the local village, with traditional residence-style commercial buildings grouped into small clusters. Water flows between the clusters, and walking spaces are connected by pedestrian bridges. The buildings use Chinese traditional wooden structures with mortise and tenon joints. Main materials include lauan wood, rammed-earth walls and small gray tiles. Native tree species are planted.
