The lighting design is divided according to the area, according to the required functional lighting, landscape lighting, and architectural lighting, so as to adapt to local conditions and rationally distribute the lights.

At the same time, We focus on each node, the former residence of celebrities, and the archway. The overall brightness forms a hierarchical relationship, which constitutes a night orientation, and basically maintains a uniform light color. Different architectural types and cultural preservation buildings, such as characteristic saddle walls, wind-fire walls, and wooden houses, are outlined in detail to highlight the lifang system and convey the historical and cultural heritage of SQ.
