Chongqing gen wen tour city royal ya

Yuya is one of several residential precincts designed by WTD at the massive Sunac Cultural Tourism City in west Chongqing, a landmark superblock for which the office has developed multiple neighborhoods around a consistent theme of young, fashionable and ecological living. Yuya sits on the northwest side of the development, backed to the Huxi River, with roughly six- and four-meter level differences between the commercial roads at the main and secondary entrances and the internal landscape level. Taking its cue from the river and its valley, the design extracts the meandering lines of tidal flats and green valleys and reinterprets them as a linear narrative that restores the feeling of dwelling in forested hills. The main entry connects to the commercial edge via a vertical lift that lands on the commercial rooftop; beyond the lift core, a half-open urban viewing platform frames the Huxi River as both leisure space and people-distribution node. To soften the convoluted secondary road and give the return-home sequence ritual weight, a crescent-shaped pergola forms a looping courtyard that wraps the entry path inside; from above, the crescent reads as a sculptural gesture, while from the pergola, tall dawn redwoods stand beside a still pool. The river-valley undulation is rebuilt as a gentle slope that screens the building entrances and stages the approach, with a stepped water cascade flowing from the slope top through textured cultural-stone pool bottoms. At the center of the precinct, a land-art park converts the lines of tidal flats and valleys into a folded, angular landscape, while the building's semi-open ground floors are programmed as a leisure book bar, indoor gym and space-themed children's play area that blur inside and outside. Between the walk-up and high-rise housing types, a jacaranda-planted buffer carries fitness lawns, a pet park and secondary-entry water features. The project balances a modern, ecological language with the specific memory of riverside flats and valleys, delivering a high-quality contemporary community at a controlled cost.
