Envisioned as a serene floating garden, Vista is a wonderfully unexpected, original café, conceived as a Fuzhou landmark. Its surrealist décor creates a dreamlike atmosphere neither commercial nor public, real nor illusory, evoking Fuzhou's past and imagining its future. The white, curved, metal lattice partitions add to its spaciousness, and the terrazzo floor, luxuriant shrubs and linear lighting sculpt beautiful forms and meandering pathways through this haven from the city's hustle and bustle.
