Zhushan, located in the hinterland of Qinba Mountain Area in Northwest Hubei Province, has a steep terrain. Surrounded by the river, its county seat is dense due to less flat land. With the cultural center and government offices moving to the other side of the river, on a rare strip of flat land, a new complex is born, undertaking the outward movement of urban life and echoing the old city. Nanshan wufutang foreign language school, as an important part of attracting Zhushan people to travel back, is located in this complex.

The site area of Nanshan wufutang foreign language school is about 21460 square meters. It needs to accommodate 45 classes of primary school, junior high school and senior high school, with a total floor area of 20000 square meters. It is surrounded by roads and other commercial and residential buildings. Due to the requirements of spacing ，specification and sunshine, and the functional zoning of small, middle and high schools, the building is destined to be carried out in a tense layout.
