Entry Description

Located at Gushi Town's historic end pays homage to Songyang's "Vegetable Garden Tea" origins. From a neglected plot, it's transformed into a vibrant space echoing the "Two and a Half" gardens' folklore. Floating above its past, the plaza offers tea cultural immersion and communal respite. Drawing from local history and memory, features like archways and vegetable shelters are crafted from innovative local bamboos, blending tradition and modernity. Durable terrazzo, recycled tiles, and stones accentuate the design. Native flora and relocated tea trees reinforce the tea tradition.
