Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The color of the auditorium is inspired by the chameleon, allowing it to seamlessly blend with any environment. To cater to the unique expectations and visions of each generation when it comes to love and weddings, the design incorporates a variety of colors. Through lighting changes and adjustable devices, the auditorium can readily switch between different styles, ensuring it is versatile and practical enough to meet the diverse needs of users.
- Inspiration
- The design of the banquet hall takes inspiration from a special kind of jewelry called Lovers' Eyes. The concept of concentric circles, where small circles are enclosed within larger ones, also mirrors this design. It symbolizes the ideals of staying together, protection, attachment, and waiting. Husbands and wives, throughout their lives, surround each other with layers of love, tolerance, consideration, and support.

- The renowned mortise and tenon structure found in traditional ancient architecture is utilized to refine and simplify the traditional oriental elements, using contemporary materials and techniques to bring them to life.
- Realization and Technology
- The design of the main stage is inspired by the pointed roofs seen in ancient Chinese buildings. These roofs come together at the top to create a spire. By taking the essence of this design and combining it with modern aesthetics, an elegant crystal pavilion hangs from the ceiling, featuring varying heights and a layered look.
- Operation and Interaction

With different lifting devices tailored to various themes, the sparkling brilliance and radiant lanterns fill the space, offering customers a refreshing experience.
