Feng River Wetland Environmental Design In Xian China By Gvl Group

With the idea of “big park and micro tourism”, it ispossible to make many costly civil landscapeprojects profitable. Civil projects will meetcitizens’ demands for relaxation. Green trees, colorful flowers, platforms, and pavilions as wellas singing birds form a beautiful scene, which issure to bring joy and happiness to the citizens uponcompletion. However, it’s far from enough. Theproblem is that, without proper operation and anyearnings, the beautiful scene will not last long. And finally places will be overgrown with weeds andwastes and covered by wastes everywhere. Nevertheless, Xi’xian Feng River Wetland Park, whichis designed by GVL Group, has been transformed intoa sustainable tourism destination. The model of “bigpark and micro tourism” has solved the problem. In Xixian New District of Xi’an City, a 20 km long newurban axis runs across the new city center fromsouth to north, outlining the new future of thecity. As the main river flows through the South of Xixian New District, Feng River is the boundarybetween Xi’an ancient city and Xixian International New District, witnessing the splendid history of thecity and embracing its beautiful future. Located on the west coast of Feng River, between Xi’an-Baoji Expressway and the No. 6 Keji Road thesite is about 4 km long and 100 m wide averagely, covering a total area of about 880,000 m 2. It is theeast entrance of Xixian International Cultural and Educational Park. August, 2014, Xixian Cultural and Educational Parkwas completed according to plan. The 14 sq. km parkis in need of an exhibition zone to provide high-endservices and attract consumers. However, what abeautiful and ecological park will bring to the newdistrict, and how to realize its long-termmaintenance? These problems have greatly challengedthe design team. Therefore, the Chairman of GVLGroup Peng Tao has led the design team toinvestigate on site and communicate with the peoplein charge for many times, trying to plan and designfrom the perspective of operation and future. ”As Mr Peng Tao said, “It is not only an assignmentof civil landscape design but also a taskinvolving the future operation and maintenance. What we need to think is how to attractconsumers and provide financial support for thelong-term operation. Accordingly, GVL team has proposed to design andoperate the project in the mode of tourismoperation. With the idea of “big park and microtourism”, the team has designed the civil park as atourism destination. In addition, the idea of “microlife and new mode” has introduced a new lifestyle tothe citizens, which finally benefits the “innovativeurban development” of Xixian New District. Surrounded by Wei River, Ba River, Chan River, Jing River, Feng River, Hao River, Lao River and Yu River, Chang’an, the ancient name of Xi’an City, wasonce called the “sea on the continent”.
