Sanya Mangrove Park

Right in the middle of the city of Sanya and in just three years, an area of lifeless land fill within a concrete flood wall has been successfully restored into a lush mangrove park, where nature and people harmoniously share the meeting of ocean tides and fresh water. The project demonstrates the success of form following the ecological processes to produce a designed ecotone that speeds up the natural process of mangrove rehabilitation.
