Dajianpang Village is a Bai Village which locates in the northeast of Erhai Lake. People there made their own living by fishing. After tourism development, a number of businessmen and designers came here to build sea-view hotels which near the shore of Erhai Lake. These kinds of hotels attract a lot of tourists, at the same time, they raise the price of the land by the lake. Erhai, which was for fishing becomes a place which is for people to enjoy the sight of it. Some villagers pull down their own traditional buildings while building up new stylish "sea-view" hotels. The others transform their buildings into family inns. The villagers build up their own hotels by studying and imitating others due to the contradiction between traditional Bai building’s space and commercial space. On one hand, they need to maintain their own traditional principles. On the other hand, they have to consider the needs of tourists. Better innovation can afford more economic benefit and development space for villagers. However, worse change could make villagers lose better survival chance. With the change of the landscape, local people’s lives also changed. Local culture finds its own way to develop itself through the communication with other cultures.The introduction states the selected topic’s cause, it comes from the question why Dajianpang Village takes the "sea-view" houses to develop itself rather than their own traditional Bai buildings. It also hackles a number of researches which relate to the topic of the reason of Bai building’s change, family inn and the relationship between architecture and culture.Chapter1introduces that Shuanglang Dajianpang Village was a fishing village. After tourism development, it has more "sea-vies" hotels and family inns, the local landscape is changing.Chapter2analyzes that people living in city have the consumption demand for the landscape due to the difference between natural landscape and artificial scenery, also the demand for identity difference. At the same time, with the symbolic coding progress which is shaped by the real estate ads, tourism propaganda and famous peoples’ affection for Erhai Lake, city people imagine Shuanglang and Erhai Lake as non-profit and aesthetic place. After they have been in the village, the city people construct their imaginable experiences in aspects of clothing, decoration, photographing, transaction with local people and viewing local scenery.Chapter3describes different kinds of new stylish hotels which respond to the outside people’s consumption demand for landscape in Dajianpang village. Meanwhile, it analyzes villagers’ innovation in building hotels which aims to solve the contradiction between dwelling space and commercial space. Whether this application can satisfy the tourist’s imagination of local landscape or not decides whether or not the villagers can afford themselves more development chance. At last, it presents the change in villagers’ living mode and new using of Erhai Lake.Chapter4analyzes the capitalized progress of local landscape culture. For one hand, local structure maintains the original acquaintance relationship. For the other hand, this relationship becomes loose because of the tourists. Based on that, a new structure was formed. When local Bai culture comes across the other culture, it absorbs a new element and develops a new way.The conclusion put forward that Shuanglang develops itself through city people and villagers’ imagination to each other. It’s very important to find a balanced point which can satisfy both groups.
