The 10-meter-high, 17-meter-wide dome is surrounded by a water table that is higher than the ground level. The structure is formed by bent bamboo arches, and the top of the dome, which is thatched with straw, is topped with a top light for natural ventilation. Bamboo and straw were used as building materials to preserve local traditions and reduce environmental impact. It is used for cultural activities and meetings of local residents.
