Developed by Xianyang Langshi Tujia City and landscaped by Chengdu Seken, with interiors by Qiangchuang Decoration, the Wei Cheng Fu display area sits in Xianyang's old city, where the surrounding fabric is worn and the site itself is difficult: an L-shaped plot of less than 1,600 square metres, only 15 metres wide, with a 2.5-metre grade change between inside and outside. The design therefore works by enclosure and sequence. Walls screen the unfavourable context, a winding tour route maximises the limited landscape, and planting resolves the external grade change. Under the theme 'Quest for the Secret Garden', four atmospheric scenes unfold. The first is the Gate Ritual: a simple, white, upright portal immediately separates noise from quiet, with springs and a delicate tree array setting a reserved, ceremonial tone. The second, Quest for the Secret Realm, narrows the view into a winding path and feature walls in pure white that glow under light, their hollow-out grilles preserving transparency and weakening the sense of confinement; a central cascade and planting offer a slow visual target. At the third scene, the Mirror Lake Heart, the water calms and the mind settles: a broad mirror pool flush with the ground blurs the boundary between water and sky, reflecting cloud and light and purifying emotion. The fourth, Garden Wandering, opens into a refined flower garden where black gravel and delicate borders restore a sense of return to nature. Detail is calibrated through grooved ultra-white tempered glass feature walls that transmit light without revealing the view, off-white stone-effect coatings, and luminous marble strips that give the nightscape a dreamlike softness. The result is a compact garden community that lets urban dwellers recover a simple, natural way of living.
