The site for the visitor center is at the corner of an L shaped road. While the traffic will come from both sides, the traditional plaza that is built in front of the park gate should be protected by means of architecture. Therefore, a wall works as a boundary between the city and the yard rested inside, along which a roof implies the park's entry. The building's linear shape strengthened the small hill behind it while creating a dialogue between the history of the site, which used to be a part of the city wall of the Ming dynasty.
