01 / Building stories

Read a building, discover a way of living.

Tile panels at the old station present local memories to arriving travellers. The building also hosts visitor reception beside an active railway.

Leave room for luggage and commuters while looking: reading heritage should coexist with real departures and arrivals.

Lü · Be a considerate visitor

Lü reminds us that a visited scene is someone else’s living place. Curiosity does not turn a short stay into complete understanding. Making room, asking and respecting access are also ways of knowing a city.

Start with the architecture

Bring the question into everyday life

Record an everyday action you almost overlooked, without names or identifying details. It may help you see the city as life beyond a collection of sights.

What image would you choose to welcome someone from far away?

A contemporary cultural reading by Xiaoxiong inspired by the I Ching. The connection with the building is an editorial perspective, not the architect’s intention or a documented historical influence. It is not fortune-telling.

03 / Nearby life

A nearby table

Dining map records within three kilometres in a straight line of the reference point. Walls, railways and slopes may lengthen the journey. Check the entrance and whether the business is open.

This selection covers the current municipality. Near hills, rivers and municipal boundaries, plan transport using actual roads.

The map may omit businesses. Records do not confirm trading status, menus or bookings. Records with an address are shown by default; you can include the others.

04 / The travellers’ Bench

Sit for a while. Leave an observation.
