In the foreground, a modern, two-story wooden structure features rooftop seating areas filled with people. Behind it, a large grassy park is lined with trees and paths, where people are walking and playing. The highway runs through the center, and adjacent to it, another building is topped with a colorful grid-like structure resembling solar panels.
