Louna International Colleges and Universities Construction Competition was officially launched in August 2nd, 2016. It advocates “design with nature” based on “the power of art”, focusing on the theme of “camping installations” and materials of bamboo. This competition is in a hope to inspire the design of “camping installations” which could be most harmonious with the natural landscape of Louna Village. Meanwhile, it strives to minimize the damage of the natural environment to zero during the process of building each camping installation from project design to materials selection, from foundation construction to final completion. Low-carbon and no harm to natural scene and local culture is an important principle that should be strictly followed.

When it came to the end of the road, there was a cave in the hill. A weak light seemed to be in the cave.

When entering and exploring, at first the opening was very narrow, barely wide enough for one person to go in.

After a dozen steps, it opened into a flood of light.
