Sunny walk in Poly Shallow Sea is located within the CMDSTC, being the core area of Yazhou Creative New Town. Built seawards and surrounded by the South Mountain, it boasts great views of the sea and thesunset as well as a strong cultural atmospherearound. Here, modern pop culture activates thetraditional culture, reproducing the scenesdescribed in the book of History of Yazhou. The designers distinguished the development fromother coastal projects by its folk customs andregional characteristics, creating a cultural brandof “Legendary of Yazhou, Paradise of Romance”. As the most romantic love-themed town in South China, Sunny walk in Poly Shallow Sea is not a conventionalexhibition space but an immersive experience spaceabout love. It is sweet, relaxing, romantic but doesnot go too far. It records the moments of love, allowing people to experience the true meaning oflife. When modern design techniques meet thesea breeze and the sunset of Yazhou, a romanticlandscape experience of holiday style thus comesinto being. As the reception center of the tourismtown, the exhibition area of the Sunny walk in Poly Shallow Sea allows visitors to fully enjoy the bestscenery and sunset of Yazhou, and have a betterunderstanding of love and life during the visit. Two landscape walls stand against each other, forminga unique entrance to the exhibition area. Thearc-shaped walls stretch like the wings of a swan, facing the sea breeze and creating a tranquilatmosphere with simple lines. The form of side entrymakes people expect more experience, and the clearwater reflects the details on the ceremonial walls, showing the subtle changes in design. The gently undulating lawn realizes the naturaltransition of the space, the dark road runs betweenthe lawn and the miscanthus, and the white curvedflower bed resembles a swan in outline, making thewhole space flowing and flexible. Within the limitedspace, the lawn, the miscanthus and the footpath areintegrated with each other, presenting a small butexquisite painting. Walking hand in hand through thewoods with the beloved one will be the best momentthat you can imagine. Based on mechanical stability and visual balance inthe triangular geometry, we create a spiritual placefor the sunset beach——the “light chaser church”, which boasts an atmosphere of eternity. Besides, modern precision technology helps to realize theappreciation of sunset all year around using preciseautobiographical system. Later the church will serveas an auditorium for weddings and witness thebeautiful love together with the sunset. The white spiral church is the focus of the entireexhibition area, simple, pure, and touching theheart. The round church symbolizes a happy ending oflove, and the white textural wall appears simple andelegant against the natural background. Thesecond floor of the church is the best place toenjoy the sunset.
