At the same time, educators in the United States say, letting children grow up freely is becoming a worldwide problem. Now the child 3 years old began to go up all kinds of interest classes, remedial classes, aesthetic education, intellectual education together, the child is more and more unhappy.

Zhang Ying, an architect and interior designer who graduated from Harvard, believes that "the emotion of proper distance" is the core of parent-child communication through her life communication and experience at home and abroad in her creation. Too close is easy to lose the personal space that each person needs for the individual, causing anxiety; too far away will make the parent-child relationship too unfamiliar. The best relationship between parents and children is to keep each other company but leave each other's spiritual space. "I support what you want to do but I don't limit what you want to do." Starting from "emotional design", Le Bei Home Stay Park focuses on the interaction between parents and children. communication, exploration, courage and wisdom. We hope to build a parent-child paradise with the way of thinking of "learning while playing, playing while learning". Let the children play in the park, deepen the communication and interaction with their parents, and understand the significance of nature education.

In this illusory world of shellfish, people are instead caged animals, while birds fly freely outside the cage. This tells children that all things start from nature, and nature gives birth to all life. If human beings exploit and hunt excessively, nature will eventually bind human beings, and human beings and nature should be a life community. The designer of reception area uses wire to simulate the shape of birdcage. The welcome waiter is in the cage. Welcome to Le Bei, the beginning of the whole animal kingdom.

Various forms of children's behavioral activities are considered in the space, hoping to accommodate more functional possibilities in the Lobby space to enrich the use of the activity park. When children are playing in the bubble pool or climbing in the climbing area, adults can accompany them for adventure. They can also wave hello to the children in the rest area. Children can feel the fun of adventure, the company and the love from their families.

In addition to interesting functional divisions and vivid animal images, there are various openings in the space, where children can find different dreamlike and interesting worlds.
