- The best way to appreciate beauty of Guilin is to take a bamboo raft and gently row in the aesthetic, poetic realm. Against the creamy-white marble background at the entrance to the Sales Center, a half-arc, purple landscape marble emulates form of a small boat in a skillful way as if a fishing boat slowly approaches in the misty spray under a peak. The Negotiation Area features sinking couches where customers can sit around. With an atomized fireplace embedded on ground as the center
- Inspiration

Designers activate interaction between space and man by means of various derivatives of water.

- Specifications
- The mezzanine on the second floor is specifically decorated with gradually whitening glass. From afar, it looks like hillside fog throughout the year or Lijiang River surface with pervasive fogand misty vapor in morning rain in Karst landscape. The gradually darkening glass produces a visually aesthetic effect, hides pillarsinside and looks lighter. Meanwhile, it is so considerate by taking into account the visual block and etiquette forwomen who walk high above. In addition, the processes of glass floors help reducethe floor thickness and height.
