Rabbit Hill, an archaeological site excavated in 2003, located in Yiyang, China, comprises a large number of historical artefacts that reflect the beginning chapter in the city’s history. Like all developing cities in China, Yiyang is urbanising rapidly, homogenising both urban facades and culture. The discovery of Rabbit Hill seems to provide a chance to save the city's history and cultural identity. The unknown heritage is remote from not only the surroundings and the whole city fabric, but also the local history.

Initially, the design was modelled on the principles of urban planning of this to-be-developed heritage ground. The Unreality of Time (J.M.E McTaggart, 1908) provides the theoretical basis of the intervention. Through vague time, stories are passed from past to future. In this vision of the built environment, relics are recycled as part of the structure, and mirrored canopies reflect the transmission of events. Rabbit Hill will not be just a sunken museum with artefacts on display, but also a human-friendly urban historic park.
