About Floating Popina

Fluitans est popina in agris provinciae Guangdong Sinae sita. Aedificium aqua circumdatum est et columnis inaequali intervallo positis nititur. Consilium ex traditionalibus domibus Hakka ruris Sinensis inspirationem capit. Forma tecti undulans motum undarum aquae refert. Materiae locales per totam structuram adhibentur. Intus ornamenta piscium formam habentia posita sunt ut aquaticum ambitum circumiacentem compleant. Propositum est spatium cenandi tranquillum quod in ruralem regionem se immisceat.
