This four-hectare urban waterfront park is a pilot project in the landscape renovation of Hungpuchong River, setting a high standard for riverfront public space in Guangzhou. The new public realm aims to connect the surrounding neighborhood and transportation hub to the river, bringing people back to the water’s edge.
The park activates the waterfront as a shared open space for the surrounding community.

The organic, layered terrain facilitates stormwater collection and mitigates seasonal flooding. The existing embankment wall is replaced by a new ecological river edge, which runs underneath the renovated bridge with jogging path and bike trail.
