Rizhao City is one of the birthplaces of the “Longshan Culture,” the origin of the sun-worshipping culture in ancient China. Also, it was called "the earliest city in Asia" by The Oxford Handbook of World History because it was where the first light shone. The area is located near the sea, and people depend on it for their living. Most essentially, the sea nurtures countless lives. The designers have taken the image of the whale in the ocean and introduced it into the space, cleverly echoing the meaning of “sunshine,” beautifully disclosing the infinite vitality and possibilities of the city.
