Jinmachi Bay coastal zone

Developed by Shanwei Yucheng Real Estate and landscaped by GVL Yi Jing Design Group, the Poly Jin Ting Bay coastal belt is the principal landscape promenade and event spine of a large resort development on seven kilometres of untouched golden coastline in Shanwei, Guangdong, covering some 90,000 square metres. Positioned as a future national 4A-level scenic area and a premier wellness-coastal destination in southern China, the project layers hotels, commercial buildings and public amenities with smart service pavilions spaced on a 250-metre radius, and uses the brand story of the Cetus constellation to thread a series of themed nodes through the public open space. Each district is marked by a luminous, star-like landmark sculpture that responds to its local theme. The wedding axis, set in the hospitable Star Bay gathering zone at the middle of the belt, stages the three acts of a love story, from meeting and knowing to promising. Pixelated light patterns and lighting at the Heartbeat Square simulate the ripples of falling in love, while a Möbius-strip Infinite Loop Bridge provides sculpted 360-degree views; beyond it, a romantic flower sea built as three-dimensional sculpted terrain and the wind-sail chapel, set among mirror pools, submerged walkways and twin Cetus stars, express the sanctity of marriage. Zoning studies calibrate the wedding event area against the best viewing angle of the chapel, with transition zones and interactive landscape extending outward. A second district, the Whale Joy Park, uses ocean colours, whale forms and play elements to build a multi-sensory educational and recreational landscape. Throughout, brand IP scenes, flexible event lawns and a distributed service network support a new kind of everyday seaside resort life, described by the developers as 'small days by the sea in a great era'.
