About Yufengyuan Primary Function: Te Hoahoa Rotopū o te Wharekai

He wharekai a Yufengyuan e 1100 mita pūrua te rahi o roto. E tohu ana te hoahoa ki te ahurea o te Awa Kōwhai. Ka whai tētahi ara 50 mita te roa i te raina o te awa puta noa i te wāhi. E waru ngā pouaka whakarewa he rerekē ngā teitei ka whakanohoia i te taha o te ara. Ka noho tētahi whānau ki ia pouaka, ā, ka tapaina ki te ingoa o tētahi mea iti, pēnei i te pūrerehua, te poroka, te pī rānei. E whai ana te whakaotinga o ia pouaka i te āhua o te mea ora. Ka whakaarahia ngā pouaka katoa, nō reira ka riro te tomo ki tētahi pouaka hei wā tikanga. Ko ngā rawa matua ko te terrazzo, ko te papa maitai, ko te kōhi me te peita latex.
