“Eye of Erhai Lake" is located in Jincheng Dali Peace Valley. At the beginning of 2021, the townhopes to build a lookout platform on the top of Tiejia mountain as the spiritual landmark of the town.

The rolling mountains are covered by the vast natural awn grass. The sparse plants on the top of the mountain are the commanding heights of this area. Overlooking from here, the scenery is impressive.

"The sky of Dali Peace Valley is the purest, and the structure will be the spiritual building closest to the sky in this valley. We hope it can undertake the sky, show a miracle like a totem, and have identification, heterogeneity and spirituality". We try to respond to this in the simplest way, “open a door for your heart in Dali”, a door of mind, time, space and scenery.

The high scale beyond common sense makes people feel small involuntarily. No element forms on the ground are extracted, but the neglected landscape floats in the air in the way seen in the field of vision and becomes a significant image.

After the light comes on at night, the “Eye of Erhai Lake" is held high by Tiejia mountain like a lighthouse, drawing energy from the earth and releasing it at the highest point. The sky, fog, trees and earth are subject to change every moment.

With the help of the interaction of the uphill road on the top of the mountain, the block outline of the "door" of the building base is formed; Use the wall relationship to place the "door frame", so as to form a continuous whole from top to bottom.

For interior design, weathered and stripped fine stones symbolize the passage of time. They seem hard, but in fact they are to maintain this balance. The "full view" glass window wall surrounded by 360° is a kind of concave thinking, which not only receives the scenery, but also falls into the earth without any disturbance to the mountains, so as to let tourists get rid of the noise and put their mood down gently.
