Quzhou Luming Park Skywalk

Project Profile

Located in Quzhou, a historic city with over 1,800 years of heritage and once a strategic hub on China’s eastern coast, Luming Park sits on the west bank of Shiliang Creek in Quzhou’s western district. Positioned at the heart of the city’s new commercial and administrative core—home to over 2.5 million residents—the park serves as an urban “oasis” nestled within a dense fabric of city buildings.

The skywalk offers an immersive landscape experience inspired by the local topography of mountains and water. Formed by a network of elevated boardwalks, footpaths, and several pavilions, the design creates a looped trail system that allows visitors to enjoy diverse scenic encounters. The design of the park's pavilions draws inspiration from traditional field shelters once used by farmers to rest and eat during work, incorporating vernacular elements that add local cultural character to the structures. Floating above a colorful and vibrant landscape, the walkway invites visitors into a journey where every step offers a new perspective—transforming productive vegetation and natural scenery into a rich, multi-sensory experience. An environmental interpretation system is carefully integrated along the route, telling the stories of the land’s natural features and cultural history in a human-centered, narrative-driven manner.

The decking is made from outdoor-resistant, chestnut-colored bamboo-wood composite planks (137mm × 20mm), supported by galvanized steel joists. Railings consist of 60mm-wide, 8mm-thick vertical steel slats coated with white fluorocarbon paint, topped with custom-milled 120mm × 40mm chestnut-colored anti-corrosion wooden handrails. Artistic wall-mounted lights are installed every 4 meters along the underside of the railing for nighttime illumination.

On sunny days, the park comes to life with charm and vitality: children play joyfully under the pavilions elevated above blooming fields; couples whisper sweet nothings among the sea of flowers; newlyweds pose for photos dressed in celebration; parents stroll hand-in-hand with their young ones; and elderly couples lean gently against the railings, gazing toward the high-rises rising in the distance.
