Kunming is known as the ‘City of Perpetual Spring’ and famous for its diverse natural biodiversity. The site is located in the ‘Wenming Block’, one of two remaining heritage blocks where the Confucius Temple sits. The Eco Learning Centre and Biodiversity Garden are concentrated in the idea of harmony, hierarchy and symmetry inspired by Fengshui and Chinese architecture.
