1. Project Statement
Yunbifeng National Forest Park is the green center of Shangrao city,which is one of the few national forest parks in the center of the city. The Wetland Park is an ecological display portal and a leisure place for citizens.
The design of this project includes the construction of Yunbifeng around greenway, which is about 10 kilometers long, and the landscape design of Wetland Park on the north side of the river, with a total area of 102 hectares.
2. Objective and Challenge
The goal is to build the wetland park into an ecologically complex, convenient and culturally prominent ecological corridor, a popular Shangrao city central park.
The challenges are: 1). Dongyue Road is poorly built, with poor overall appearance, high elevation difference between Dongyue Road and wetlands, and fragmentation of landscapes; 2). Ecological foundation need to be optimized, style need to be sorted out; 3). Lack of tour system and other problems.
3. Design Strategy
Taking minimum intervention as the overall design principle, the wetland park adopts four design strategies:
1).balance the landscape with water and mountain; 2). built resilient sponge ecological foundation; 3). create low-impact high-convenient network recreation facilities; 4). establish vigorous and open leisure corridors.
4. Conclusion
Based on ecological protection and some ecological functions improvement, the wetland park can form seven landscape areas: riverside belt, inland water-friendly belt, urban pastoral belt, urban balcony belt, landscape road belt, valley leisure belt and lotus pond valley. On the basis of the ecological foundation, a low-impact slow-moving system has been designed, including an air walk plank road connected to the cross-river landscape bridge located above the 50 year flood level; a urban balcony located above the 20 year flood level ; and a walkway system on the wetland area to meet different tourist needs while responding to the risk of flooding. Eventually, a city park based on ecological protection and different features and experiences is formed.
