Zhuhai Vanke Marine City Park demonstration Area

The Maritime City demonstration park in Jinwan District, Zhuhai, is a 10,578-square-metre landscape by A&N Shangyuan Landscape for developer Vanke Zhuhai, and marks Vanke Southern Region's first island-resort landscape product line. The region's year-round warmth, rainfall and sunlight produce subtropical planting and evergreen urbanism; from Hainan through Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Xiamen, the southern coast holds the densest island archipelago in the country. Zhuhai, the city with the largest marine area, most islands and longest coastline in the region, is known as the City of a Hundred Islands and was chosen as the matrix for the new product line. The design draws inspiration from Sentosa, Singapore's resort island, treating the site itself as an island and extracting natural elements as scenery. The visiting sequence is choreographed as a resort journey: guests arrive at the Lighthouse Pier, pass through Coconut Grove Mudflat, Wading Shallows and Floating Coconut Isle, and finally enter the Mist-Light Rainforest before reaching the villa-like show flats. A working-scale white lighthouse stands at the water's edge as the project's navigator. Sand-textured walls, gravel and coastal planting set a refined natural tone; the reception pavilion's curving roof changes character with the angle, and reflecting pools with embedded boulders contrast refined and rugged. A boardwalk under coconut palms evokes Sentosa's tidal flats, with shallow water flowing beneath and mist rising from Terminalia groves. Beyond the lawn, white washed-stone simulates a white-sand beach, where jumping jets and gentle streams turn the site into a water playground. Reflecting pools graded from shallow to deep reproduce the colour gradient of a beach, and full-height glazing in the sales pavilion merges interior with the water and coconut views. The show flats are set within a dense subtropical rainforest garden, fusing a relaxed coastal way of life with memorable natural scenery.
