There are two aims in our design. First of all, we apply the u-shape embankment design to increase the defense ability in extreme weather conditions such as typhoons or torrential rain. Secondly, we also try to replan the existing site configuration. Our landscape design connects and integrates the existing green guilts of the waterfront park, which were originally scattered on the riverbank. With logical replanning, the functions and characteristics of the space become more systematic and coherent. Tourists and citizens can have a better experience as they visit this splendid park.
