The layout of the whole building is zigzag, which corresponds to the zigzag of the Hui Autonomous Region. The facade of the entrance and exit draws lessons from the Islamic national style, and forms a strong contrast between traditional art and modern aesthetic feeling with the glass curtain wall used for local decoration of the three-story external wall, which has strong national characteristics. The combination of the upper breathable shelf and the lower stone fully shows the elegant, concise, balanced and calm personality of the whole building.
