Licheng Xiyueshan Phase II in Buji, Shenzhen, is developed by Shenzhen Licheng Investment and continues the landscape language of Phase I, again maximising the outdoor possibilities of a tower-based residential scheme. The continuation is layered: design language, the signature palette, activity programmes and planting all carry forward. The master plan includes rich activity scenes, with a swimming pool as the centrepiece, divided into adult and children's zones, the children's pool animated by play features, mosaic patterns and a waterfall edge. A magenta pergola - the Phase I colour - wraps the pool and forms the principal shaded arrival corridor. The corridor leads to Disco Plaza, a public activity space marked by two outdoor disco balls and a stage against a purple moon, suitable for community gatherings. In front of the towers, a large fire-engine-access hardstanding is turned into a mini fitness zone with patterned paving and a skate-style banked wall that defines space and offers seating. Purple is introduced as a second thematic colour, marking a running track that continues into Phase 2.2, while the rest of the paving retains the classic striped language; the existing level changes are used to hide the fire lane within winding lines. Future phases will add a family garden, a lovers' garden, a chess-and-cards garden and a wet-pine lawn to complete the two-phase landscape.
