"The Heart of Dawu: South Link Service Area" is known as the most beautiful rest stop on the South Link Highway and is the first rest stop on a provincial highway in Taiwan. The location of the base symbolizes the entrance to Taitung. To emphasize the location advantage, "natural environment development" and "in-depth tourism" are the core.

The project is in the image of a lighthouse. The double-story building is eye-catching with its special and innovative curved shape. In addition to the spire design, the top floor features a planned walkway and observation deck. The observation deck offers a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and a large area of greenery. The architect has given careful consideration to the design of the view angle. As one walks up the stairs, one can see shrubs, lush greenery, and a vast blue ocean. Outside, one can see the curvature of the building in earth tones that blend with the environment without borders. The architect’s ingenuity in connecting the land and the sea allows people to visit the building to rest, dine, and buy Taitung souvenirs, aiming to create a co-prosperous ecological site and international tourism.
