Jinhua Jinxi Low Hill and Gentle Slope Scenic Belt

Project Profile

1. Project Statement

The site is located in the southeastern part of Tangxi Town in the Economic and Technological Development Zone of Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, covering a total area of 29.46 hectares.

The terrain of the site is generally higher in the south and lower in the north, with significant vertical height differences between the sides and the low-lying center, creating a unique narrow valley landscape. The valley floor consists mainly of natural grasslands and wetland plants, while the gentle slopes lack ground cover. There are few existing buildings, offering little usable value and lacking basic service facilities. The site lacks a comprehensive transportation system; the valley's water channels are narrow, with no space for water-related activities. Although the valley has good ground cover, it lacks tree planting, and native trees can be added. According to the land use plan, the Jinhua Gentle Slope Valley Scenic Belt is designated as parkland, with the surrounding plots primarily zoned for commercial and industrial use.

2. Objective and Challenge

The project aims to create a valley rainwater park that integrates ecology, science education, and leisure.

3. Design Strategy

(1) Minimal Intervention and Low-Cost Strategy

Preserve and utilize existing wetlands and topography to create the environment.

(2) Landscape Enhancement Strategy

Strengthen the valley's characteristics and introduce landscape individuality.

(3) Sponge Park Strategy

Implement techniques to absorb, store, and purify rainwater.

4. Conclusion

As mentioned earlier, based on the site's conditions and meeting the upper-level planning requirements, the design aims to create a valley rainwater park that integrates ecology, science education, and leisure. By building an open space system that collects rainwater and constructs a natural water purification system through ecological methods, the project aims to remove water pollution and reshape the water-friendly interface. Carefully designed functional and iconic landscapes will shape the space, attract citizen activities, and make the site truly enjoyable and visitable.

The plan specifically implements the design goal of creating a valley rainwater park that combines ecology, science education, and leisure. This includes designing ponds to collect rainwater from both sides, using layered ponds for sedimentation, filtration, aeration, and purification, and then overflowing into the valley wetland. A weir will be used to store water and regulate the water level. The project will meticulously create a suburban park that integrates ecological restoration, education, and leisure functions for citizens.
