Heyuan Family Outing｜Using Tadao Ando as an Art Textbook

In Heyuan Chunmuyuan Town, kids can run wild in nature and also check out Tadao Ando’s architectural aesthetics—art enlightenment and family fun all in one～
🏛️ Poem Auditorium: Kids’ First Lesson in Light and Shadow
The final chapter of Tadao Ando’s “Four Chapels” is truly amazing!
The minimalist exposed concrete style, sunlight streaming through geometric skylights, and the light spots on the walls “move,” as if sunlight and architecture are dancing together!
Inside, there’s a Rieger pipe organ with 1,321 pipes replicating the building’s triangular structure—every snapshot is a work of art.
Don’t miss the green apple installation at the entrance, featuring Ando’s handwritten inscription “Forever Youth.” Walk around with the kids for a fully interactive experience 🈵～
🌸 Light Art Festival
The inaugural festival from 10.12 to 10.18 features Bei Dao, Liu Jiakun, international performances, and light shows! At night, the auditorium and lawn are lit up, like stepping into a fairy tale～
