Zhonghai Pingshan Wanjin Xixian Huating sits at the intersection of Jinniu East Road and Chuangjing Road in Pingshan District, Shenzhen, facing the Pingshan River to the south and flanked by three adjacent wetland and urban parks. Designed by Shenzhen Purading Landscape for China Overseas Land and Investment, with interiors by Shenzhen Dayi, the 7,884.8-square-meter sales landscape takes the Pingshan River as its organizing device: its natural form is analyzed, restructured and recomposed into linear compositions with folded elements, while soft, rustic materials are enlivened by metal details. A heavenly-river water thread runs through the entire display area, alternately contracting, opening, curving and straightening, to realize the design concept of a dreamlike celestial river, carrying the river's grandeur, softness, agility and rhythm into every detail. Around the image of Pingshan's water falling from the sky, the designers invented a story of a river guardian named FIFI who leads dream-chasers on a boat voyage under the heavenly river, with IP sculptures of FIFI, KAKA and the dreamer narrating the journey. The sequence begins at the Gate of the Heavenly River, the main entry with an interactive musical dry fountain and IP sculptures that draw people in. Beyond it, the Heavenly River Valley uses a symmetric bamboo-screen wall, starlight path and a mysterious book-and-door installation to welcome visitors; a U-shaped axis wall with central water and a dreamer sculpture marks the arrival. The River-Channel Hippo Playground, reached through a zigzag wall, offers climbing, crawling, sliding and tunneling. The Eye of Heaven water sculpture is centered on a circular pool that holds the dreamer figure, its faceted perforated-metal wall shimmering in light. Finally, the Dreamy Heavenly Street at the sales-gallery entrance uses symmetric water, gradient perforated-metal benches with internal glow and projected ground light to make visitors feel they have entered a city in the sky.
