The most distinctive feature of Nanwan Village is that the whole village is surrounded by farmland, and there are a number of scattered water ponds in the vicinity. We break up the original site arrangement of planting houses on a flat piece of land, break up the buildings according to the groups, disperse the various sites among the farmland, and connect the groups with each other through the combed water system. The buildings are surrounded by farmland and trees, establishing a relationship where the buildings are "hidden" in nature, thus creating the scene of field life.
