The design aims to harmonize people, nature, and the pavilion through the use of a stable 60-degree equilateral triangle as the main structural element. Beneath the roof, the pavilion serves as a resting space for cyclists, while above the roof, it transforms into a habitat pavilion for wildlife. By integrating sustainable strategies such as solar energy utilization and rainwater collection, the pavilion becomes a self-sufficient ecological hub.

Each of the three sites showcases distinct characteristics. The design draws inspiration from key elements unique to their surroundings: the Oriental White Stork, the Three Buddhas Lecture Hall, and the Chinese Sturgeon. To emphasize the individuality of each site, three theme colors—dark gray, ochre red, and blue-green—are employed, capturing the unique essence and temperament of each location.
