The ancient Huizhou area was frequently a place of refuge during chaotic times in Chinese history. The Jiangnan Hill Region, where Huizhou is located, is the result of the Yanshan Movement in the late Mesozoic Era. The homogeneously folded landform of the Jiangnan Hill protected the ancestors who lived here, while the rugged mid-low mountainous terrain could bring a “seemingly-large” viewing experience of nearby landscapes.
古徽州地区常常是中国历史乱世时的避难地，其所在的江南丘陵是中生代晚期燕山运动的结果。江南丘陵均质化的褶皱地貌庇护了先民在此栖居，而崎岖的中低山地势则能带来“似大实小”的观景体验。
The proposal is based on the behavior of moutain hiking. The "moving view" with the body in circular routes responds to the vortex movement model that characterizes the evolutionary pattern of Chinese history. The design also attempts to break through the bonsai-style landscape design paradigm. Instead, it puts the subjectivity of human consciousness at the forefront of place-making and views the cruising of individual awareness as the miniature model of spiritual movements of the territorial history.
提案从山间徒步的行为出发，用身体在环行路线中的“游观”回应中国历史演化情境所指向的旋涡式运动模式。这种设计尝试也意在突破造景式的景观设计范式，而将人的意识主体性置于场所营造的首位，以期乡村场所中个人意识的游动被视作地域历史精神运动的某种微缩模型。
