Merging old facades with virtual tech

Visitors to the Hengfu Style and Features Pavilion can now learn more about the stories of historical buildings in the city through multimedia presentations that can be accessed by scanning a QR code or by clicking an icon on the display screen within the pavilion.

Built in 1930, the architecture in which the pavilion is located is now used as a virtual museum for the historical structures located along Hengshan Road and Fuxing Road, allowing visitors to view iconic buildings in augmented reality and read descriptions about them.

The pavilion also has a reference room with an interface that can display buildings and roads, the celebrities who once occupied the residences in the city, and more than 20,000 archived documents.
