Fuzhou golden land in the city ²

Gemdale Comfort City II in Fuzhou is a TOD (transit-oriented development) community above Suyang Station on Fuzhou Metro Line 2, completed in 2020 and developed by Gemdale's Fuzhou southeast regional company with landscape by Antao Design's Eighth Business Division. The project is conceived as a college-style (xueyuan pai) community: a campus made by readers for readers, open, hopeful and lifelong-learning. The design opens the community to public commerce, drawing pedestrians and shop tenants from the station and the adjacent municipal park, and linking them into a university-like atmosphere. Around four "college spirits", the team introduces six academic disciplines - literature, astronomy, music, art, mathematics - and translates them into five landscape spaces. The Library Forecourt uses a recessed colonnade and semi-open enclosure to give city space back, pairing classical architecture with modern curving landscape; bubbling springs and red-brick light wait for residents at dusk. The Golden Eagle Steps are a literal "stairway of knowledge", rising through campus imagery. The Star-Moon Astronomy Park places a Diana water ring and an Archimedes screw pump beside a scaled solar system that reminds visitors to look up at the night sky. The Philharmonic Theatre is a stepped water-led amphitheatre where music, flowing water and light dance under Chinese tallow trees. The Bauhaus Art Block is the most artistic commercial street, where a tree and a spring face each other and neighbours meet casually. The Geometry Court is the community's sports court, completed by a quiet triangular brick garden. Across 10,000 square metres of landscape, the project aims to bring residents back to "campus" - to easy, striving, comfortable lifelong living.
