Commercial Architectural and Interior Design

An interactive, experiential, multimedia attraction based on the life of the Buddha. The Buddha's Bhodi Tree welcomes you to the attraction. The "Palace", the "Forest", the "Cave", and the "Temple" scenes bring you to the hustle and bustle of modern Hong Kong, where you can reflect on the things that really bring meaning to your life. Materialism versus Spiritualism. The Palace Scene tells of Siddhartha and his luxurious life. The Forest Scene is where the visitor experiences the hardships Siddhartha faced as he searches for the true meaning of life and where he becomes enlightened. The Cave Scene represents the life that the Buddha experienced after his enlightenment. The Temple Scene where you can reflect on the teachings of the Buddha. True happiness without the need for material possessions. This experience is in conjunction with the Monkey's Tree Theater in which the audience experiences an animated tale based on the famous Buddhist Jataka stories.
