Feng River Eco-Park
Surrounded by the ‘Xixian New Area’ development zone, The Feng River waterfront wetland park is an 880,000sqm stretch of remediated public parkland along the western bank of the Feng River, Xi’an in Shaanxi Province, central China. Representing the eastern gateway to the International Cultural and Educational Park of Xixian New Area. This design proposes the concept of creating a new oasis along an ancient water course – the Feng River. An idea of ‘big park, micro tourism’ was proposed, by establishing a new eco system and restoring the degraded areas, turning the ordinary park into a new tourism destination. The park’s innovative place-making initiatives creates a development model for locals to enjoy a modernized, self-sustaining landmark of Xixian New Area.
