CHONGQING JINHAIWAN RIVERFRONT PARK AREA D – WATERFRONT ACTIVITY EXPERIENCE AREA

Golden Shoal Riverfront Park is located on a narrow piece of land along the Jialing River in Chongqing, China. The project demanded a resilient park design that could withstand seasonal flooding. The park’s “less-is-more” design approach was intended to work in harmony with natural rhythms, ebbs, and flows. The park’s basic initiative of creating a resilient ecology has not only proved successful in the face of seasonal flooding but also provided visitors with the opportunity to connect with nature in an intimate way. Visitors can explore its restored forests and trails, witness the dynamic nature and scale of the river, and experience the park’s ability to adapt to changing conditions while providing a sanctuary from urban life.
