ABOUT JIANGMEN

Jiangmen Wuyi (5 towns: Xinhui, Taishan, Heshan, Kaiping, and Enping) is the largest overseas Chinese hometown in Guangdong. Also Jiangmen has a profound historical and humanistic spirit. Liang Qichao, Chen Baisha, Feng Ru, Liang Sicheng and other celebrities were born here, and they continued to absorb foreign cultures and influenced the world at the same time. After 1980, Jiangmen's development is not as fast as adjacent cities in the Pearl River Delta, such as Shenzhen and Zhuhai.  However, with the establishment of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Jiangmen will become the next hot spot for development.

ABOUT PARK NETWORK

CFLD Jiangmen Dragon Creek Park is located on the end of the central green corridor of Jianghai New Tech District. It is abut the dragon creak lake and connects to the green corridor park. The dragon Creek park is the first important node, playing an important role for future residential areas, office areas and the city's entire ecosystem park network.

ABOUT CULTURE CONTEXT

Bird's Paradise in Jiangmen is a well-known prose written by Chinese author Mr Ba Jin, it introduces an island that is dominated by one huge banyan tree. The island is well protected and becomes habitats for more than 40 species of birds. Inspired by Bird’s Paradise, landscape design captures the flying movement of birds, creating a new paradise for citizens.

ABOUT PROGRAM

The original Dragon Creek Park is an ordinary lakeside green belt. There is only one jogging trail and sparse planting. The location is remote and inaccessible. The main purpose of the landscape renovation is to provide the surrounding citizens with a new type of ecological park integrating recreation, leisure and fitness.

The project is divided into three functional zones and connected by the greenway network. The western Ecological Zone includes a celebration party lawn, a rain garden, and a resting area. The central Energize Zone includes fitness area, chess court, and a huge children play area. On the east side is the Citizens' Zone. This zone includes the center axis, zen garden, and wedding lawn. The entire project is a 24-hour open public park.

The elements of Jiangmen context and the theme of bird' paradise run through the landscape: the wedding pavilion, the fan palm sculpture, the sculptures of birds and feathers, the bird's cage slides, etc. The renovation was completed at the end of 2017. On weekends, the park is very popular and surrounding carpark is hard to find.

ABOUT ECOLOGY

The park constructs a sponge base, uses a series of rain gardens and an ecological drainage system to conserve water. All stormwater runoff toward the Lake passes through dry pebble beds, rain gardens, and prefabricated modular storage facilities. The ecology ideas is to reserve water when dry, and drain when flooded.
