The memorial of historic buildings on the site is accomplished through the incorporation of green spaces. The lawn in front of the Tianhou Palace retains the spot shape of the original pillars, and the combination of skylight and lawn on the plaza near Shenyuli composes the plan of old Shikumen architecture. Skylights left in the pavement serve as special paving and bring natural daylight into the underground commercial area. The indoor light will also shoot out in the evening to render another layer of atmosphere.
