his project plans a linear cultural‑tourism zone anchored by a mountain trail as its spatial backbone and bee‑popular‑science as its cultural theme. The design treats Longguan Township’s hillside highway and Zhongpo Mountain trail as a continuous “cultural‑tourism narrative thread”. Along this thread unfolds a complete sequence of “one main route, two major sections and eight exhibition zones”, covering the diversity of bee species, displays of herbaceous nectar‑source plants, smart apiaries, bee‑culture plaza, biodiversity exhibition hall, cultural promenade, arbor‑and‑shrub nectar‑source plant displays, and bee cinema. Spaces unfold sequentially responding to elevation changes along the mountain trail, creating shifting scenes with every step.
The core logic of this linear configuration lies in the planning concept of “exhibition route equals mountain trail, and mountain trail equals exhibition route”. Rather than isolated scattered spots, exhibition zones are linked by the order of this linear path. As visitors proceed naturally along the trail, they go through a full cultural‑tourism narrative spanning knowledge acquisition and immersive experience, alternating between outdoor and indoor settings.
Meanwhile, extended nodes including bee‑viewing platforms, way‑finding systems, information boards and bee‑themed IP art installations embed the imagery of “anchored bee industry” across architecture, landscape and signage. The entire mountain trail is elevated into an accessible, linger‑friendly, consumption‑ready and communicable bee‑themed cultural‑tourism destination. Within this framework, apiaries, plazas and exhibition halls are no longer terminal destinations, but “event nodes” unfolding continuously along this linear cultural‑landscape belt. Together they establish a model achievement for biodiversity‑oriented agro‑tourism industry in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province and across China.
Interior design centers on "emptiness" and "stillness," using natural stone, bamboo-wood, and fair-faced concrete. Spatial layout emphasizes the rhythm of "conceal" and "reveal" — a deliberately low and narrow entrance suddenly opens to panoramic lake views.
Nodes such as the bee‑culture plaza, smart apiaries and viewing platforms, alongside IP art installations, are connected into a continuous linear‑scene network via way‑finding systems, information boards and planted landscapes. Bee‑industry motifs permeate architecture, landscape and signage, transforming the entire mountain trail into an immersive cultural‑tourism field for access, lingering and consumption.
Exhibition zones and roadside nodes are designed as “event generators”. Venues including the bee cinema, cultural plaza and honey bar fulfil popular‑science functions while hosting cultural events, performances and markets. The linear zone gains dynamic vitality responding to the arrival and dwelling of visiting tourists. The trail evolves from a mere transit corridor into a public cultural realm of ongoing activities.
At the macro scale, biodiversity conservation, the bee industrial chain and all‑for‑tourism development are superimposed along the same mountain trail to form a composite linear zone structured by “ecological foundation — industrial core — cultural‑tourism carrier”. For operational management, the corridor is divided into four functional segments: rapid transit, scenic overlook stop‑overs, consumption experience and in‑depth engagement. These segments match visitor circulation speed and dwell‑time requirements, balancing circulation efficiency and commercial value.
