The future park landscape consists of an ancient pavilion, an old street, three gardens of Tianxin and three ruins of Tianxin.

It is the commanding point of the whole garden and the viewing point overlooking the whole garden and Changsha City landscape. In accordance with the protection requirements of provincial cultural relics protection units, strict protection zones shall be designated to ensure the protection of ancient pavilion and ancient city wall sites.

One old street retains the road skeleton of the existing old street (Duzheng Street) and paves it with stone slabs. By retaining, transforming and utilizing the scenery on the original site, and combining with the design of shops along the street, it reproduces the atmosphere of Changsha old street, so as to reflect the unique street life in Changsha. In addition, the street names and traces of life that have disappeared in old Changsha are integrated into the design of streets and alleys, and the street activities such as Changsha teahouse, snacks, bird walking, antiques and opera singing are vividly expressed.

Tianxinsan site tianxinsan site refers to the three unique ancient sites that tianxinge had a great influence in the history of Changsha: Chengnan academy, diaomazhuang and martyr's tomb. As these three sites no longer exist, the plan intends to restore the three sites, so that people can recall the distant past.

Chengnan Academy: Chengnan Academy was originally built in 1161 a.d. by Zhang Qi and his father Zhang Jun, a great Confucianist of the Southern Song Dynasty, outside the South Gate of miaoheng, facing Yuelu Academy across the river. Zhang Shu and Zhu Xi once gave lectures here. Later, it was abandoned as a temple. In 1745, Yang Xifu, the governor of Hunan Province, decided to move the scholars from Yuelu to the city on the East Bank of the Xiangjiang River to study in order to alleviate the hardship of crossing the river for the students who went to study in Yuelu. He then found a space office in the capital of Tianxin and rebuilt it into an academy, following the name of "Chengnan academy" created by Zhang Qi of Song Dynasty. In 1822, Chengnan academy moved from Tianxin to miaoheng, the founding place more than 600 years ago. The Chengnan Academy under the Miaogang peak later developed into the famous Hunan First Normal University.

Diaomazhuang: there have been many legends in Changsha City for thousands of years. One of the famous stories is the battle between Guan Yu and Huang Zhong. The place names of Tianxin Pavilion and diaomazhuang came from this. The sculpture is planned to be set at the western entrance of the park to form a good triangular landscape with the alarm bell.

Martyr's tomb: there are three closely related tombs in Tianxin, one of which is called "martyr Zhang's tomb". According to the annals of Shanhua County by Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, during the reign of Jiaqing, the Zhang family of Xingguo in northern Chu married Li Qingzhao, a neighbor, and gave birth to a son, named Shuangxi. Because of their poverty, the couple went to Song county magistrate's house to help. Soon, because he went to work in Yunnan, Li's family followed him. On the way, song was greedy for Zhang's beauty and failed to make a lot of mischief, so he designed a frame up. His son was killed. In order to keep his virginity, Zhang threw himself into a river and died. Li Qingzhao also hanged himself after learning the news. Later, the people buried his family in Tianxin, Li Qingzhao in the left grave, Shuangxi (his son) in the right grave, and Zhang in the middle. The design restores it to reflect the straightforward character of Changsha people who dare to love and hate.
