We believe the Haikou Seaside Stop pavilion is a focal point providing an opportunity to its travelers to meander between the city and the nature with places for social happenings. A nature valley form became the stage for a new type of experience and space. The sky mountain option provides a valley-like rooftop with a gradual sloped profile connecting from the city-side to the seaside. All the stop pavilion visitor services programs and TV supporting programs are housed under one roof with a shared open floor space.
