Huizhou Boluo Xincheng Jinyue Jiangnan

Jinyue Jiangnan in Boluo New Town, Huizhou, is a landscape demonstration project that draws its spirit from the cultural memory of Huizhou's West Lake, where the Song-dynasty poet Su Shi once lived and which is celebrated for its misty waters, floating islets and pavilions half-hidden among trees. The design pursues a "poetic Lingnan residence", re-staging the Su Causeway's moonlit journey through a sequence of courtyards. Passing a narrow green corridor, visitors emerge into a plaza of pale-white paving evoking moonlight, flanked by two snow-white jade lions and a semicircular water basin crossed by a vaulted bridge beneath-yellow lighting, as if walking on the moon reflected in water. Screen-like side walls painted with ink-wash distant mountains frame the view. Beyond, a cascading waterfall over natural stones rises in silver spray, reflected in a still pool, and a winding path with a small stone arch bridge pursues the moon through layered greenery. Inspired by the ancient "winding-stream gathering", an arc-shaped walkway dotted with bubbling jets and star-like lights passes through a moon gate as if stepping onto the stars; at its centre sits the Ming Tai Mirror Moon water terrace, its slightly upturned end forming a small cascade. An infinity pool holds moon-white sunken seating ringed by a faint warm light line, and beside it an artificial "Little West Lake" mirrors the sales gallery like a painted boat drifting across a full moon. Lakeside strolls through planted borders and winding paths reveal shifting scenery, while a waterside pavilion offers a quiet cup of tea beneath the autumn moon. The project is, in essence, a modern quest for reunion, peace, tranquillity and happiness, staged in moonlight.
