The natural and unique texture and solid and stable materials make the appearance of the venue luxurious and full of charm. The combination of the "Ten Boxes" buildings and the corridors are staggered, which coincides with the streets and lanes in Suzhou and the scattered houses in the south of the Yangtze River.
