Text description provided by the architects
Jinyu Jincheng Fu in Chengdu's High-tech Xinchuan area is a residential children's playground designed by Shangwo Landscape, with construction by Sichuan Jinyi Ecological Environment and architecture by Sichuan Zhongtai United Design. The design takes the blooming hibiscus, the city flower of Chengdu, as its organising symbol, building an immersive thematic landscape that pairs extreme atmospheric scenography with extreme functional play. A four-dimensional gravitational field is shaped around sculptural play equipment, with finer craft, longer labour and more artistic expression than a standard playground. The main hibiscus structure is perforated and internally lit, producing a dreamlike night atmosphere; flower-branch and leaf forms evolve into corridors that link the valley of flowers. Undulating mounds connect to the giant hibiscus, deepening the flower-valley theme with a two-level internal structure that unlocks multiple play routes. Small stamen-shaped play elements dotted through the space, also internally lit, act as compact multi-functional art installations. Paving uses petal and stamen motifs as ground frames, and a flower-cave creative point adds curiosity, while a flower-spirit IP character named Fumengmeng weaves between the equipment to give the secret garden a soul and a memorable, playable identity. The result is a children's garden that treats play equipment, planting and narrative as one integrated immersive field, developed by Chengdu Jinyu Jingfeng Real Estate.
