The design concept of the Maiji Mountain Scenic Area Visitor Center is centered around the creation of a spiritual space, seamlessly blending architectural aesthetics, cultural heritage, and regional art. Starting with light, shadow, and lines, the designers narrate a story of six-fold spatial emotions, with an overarching theme of an "art gallery" to construct a unique spatial experience. The exterior of the building adopts an earthy tone, creating a serene installation feel. Utilizing metaphorical methods, the design breathes life into the architecture, forming an overall "architectural installation."

The six relatively independent spatial units represent six different scenarios, interconnected through a closed circular path, achieving a complete journey from entry to exit. The design emphasizes the preservation of natural light, extending the initial inspiration of light, shadow, and lines to create a pure architectural space. Each spatial unit embodies different scenarios, symbolizing color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and law, metaphorically reflecting the cyclical nature of life in this region.
