Living water park

It is the world's first urban comprehensive environmental education park, located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, covering an area of more than 24000 square meters. From Fuhe River, it flows through anaerobic tank, flowing water sculpture, facultative tank, plant pond, plant bed, fish pond and other water purification systems, demonstrating the life process of water and nature from "Turbid" to "clear" and from "dead" to "alive".

Chengdu living water park, covering an area of more than 24000 square meters, is located on the Bank of Funan River in the center of Chengdu. It is an internationally renowned successful case of environmental governance. The huge water treatment project in the park has greatly improved the water quality of Funan River. Therefore, the public can be proud to see the natural process of water changing from polluted to clean. Every day, 200 cubic meters of water are pumped from the river to remove organic pollutants and heavy metals before returning to the river.

The planning and design of the living water garden and the environmental treatment and restoration project of Funan River is an international collaboration organized by Chengdu municipal government and relevant experts at home and abroad and relevant local departments. The participants include sculptors and wetland ecologists from Funan River Management Department, garden department, construction department, planning department and disaster prevention Department, as well as American environmental artists who are good at water Best Damon, who handles the project; landscape design is by Maggie rulldick, who is especially good at ecological landscape planning and design projects. This extraordinary mode of cooperation is very necessary and beneficial. Environmental issues have crossed national boundaries and professional boundaries. Among them, landscape architect plays an important role as a bridge, and will play a greater potential in the future.

Main attractions

The shape of the park is a "fish" shape, symbolizing vitality and health, which has become one of the highlights of the design. Visitors often enter from the mouth to the tail. Along the river bank, I happened to take a walk in the park and enjoy the panoramic view. When you enter the garden, climb the hillside first, and then go to the round square, including the pool and teahouse. One of China's four major Buddhist Resorts - Emei Mountain native rare native plants introduced on the hillside, has the meaning of reproduction of sacred mountains.

Whether it's a private tour group, an official tour group, or a foreign journalist visiting Chengdu, you must visit Funan River and live water park to experience the unique landscape creativity. There is a novel water park on the South Bank of Fu River in Chengdu, which is said to be the first water themed urban eco-environmental Park in the world.

This section of riverbank, like terraced fields, stretches to the waterfront of Fu River. Strands of green grass stubbornly protrude from the stone crevices in the "fields", weaving a green carpet with the word "well". On this hillside, there are lush green trees, red flowers, dense cold fern seedlings which are higher than human beings, and the water wheel which turns leisurely, which seems to bring human beings to the primitive and simple age all at once From Fuhe River, it flows through anaerobic tank, flowing water sculpture, facultative tank, plant pond, plant bed, fish pond and other water purification systems in turn, or trickles, or has ups and downs of passion, which changes into colorful and concurrent biological changes, demonstrating the life process of water and nature from "Turbid" to "clear" and from "dead" to "alive".

The central garden sculpture fountain, natural ecological riverbank, "Huanglong five color pool" and other natural landscapes in the park are cleverly integrated with dozens of aquatic plants and ornamental fish, integrating education, appreciation and games, so that people can fully experience the beauty and magic of nature in the process of approaching and integrating into nature.

Living water park is not only unique for the treatment of water resources, but also suitable for the plant configuration. The living water park reproduces the natural forest landscape of Mount Emei Scenic Spot in Leshan, Sichuan Province. Moving the mountain forest landscape to the city has played a certain role in ecological protection and micro regulation of the ecosystem with the surrounding environment. It can be said that it can be seen in the middle and used in the middle.

From the pool, the water flows down the mountain through the preserved steps and enters a group of rock waterfalls, first in simple shape, and then gradually in bird shape. The water flows at the foot of the shady canopy mountain, becoming a charming central promenade and entering the semi-circular clear water pool at the end of the road. There are huge gravels beside the road. People can sit down and listen to the sound of the running water. The local plants in the park create a good habitat, attracting rare birds and insects in the city. Every corner of the park is a good place for children to explore. They can often be seen kneeling or lying on the side of the pond, observing insects and fish in the water with great interest. This kind of children's curiosity, which is promoted all over the world, is rare in other parks in China, while the living water park successfully meets the children's need to find the first-hand nature. To the east of the fish pond is the grass slope leading to the river bank. Because of the designer's ingenious conception, people naturally have a strong desire to go to the river. The landscape designer discussed with the Municipal Engineer, demolished the original flood wall, built a stepped hydrophilic platform, and also had the function of flood control isolation.

Starting from the second pond, the garden road leads visitors to the vine lined Avenue, and suddenly comes to a sunny biological water purification center scenic spot wetland landscape. There are about ten ponds of different depths, equipped with aquatic plants that can clean the water. Around the largest fish pond, people take a rest in the shade of trees, have a picnic around gravel, and have tea in the teahouse area.

The water purification system consists of a series of streams and ponds throughout the whole garden. It tells people how to purify water through the natural action of plants and water flowing through rocks.

The pond bed ecosystem of constructed wetland is the core of the water treatment project. It consists of 6 plant ponds and 12 plant beds. Sewage is harmless through sedimentation, adsorption, oxidation-reduction, microbial decomposition and so on, and becomes the nutrient and water source to promote plant growth. In addition, there are dozens of monitoring sampling tubes for the temporal and spatial changes of plants, animals, microorganisms and water quality in the system, which are convenient for sampling and analysis, and provide experimental sites for the protection of wetland ecology and the study of species diversity. It has high scientific and technological content and research value. The pond bed of the constructed wetland is like fish scales, which echoes the overall design of the park. Among them, there are floating plants such as duckweed, Azolla, Eichhornia crassipes, emergent plants such as reed, water candle, water bamboo, umbrella grass, etc., floating leaf plants such as water lily, submerged plants such as Ceratophyllum, Hydrilla, etc., which form a good wetland ecosystem and wildlife habitat with natural growth of many kinds of fish, insects and amphibians. It not only has the function of decomposing pollutants and purifying water, but also has good knowledge and ornamental.

It is understood that the daily sewage treatment capacity of the living water park is 300 tons, which is one of the "green lungs" in Chengdu. Living water park has won many international environmental protection awards.

The designer of the living water garden emphasizes that the scenery here seems to grow there and have "its own life". Living water park provides 9 million citizens with an urban park integrating environmental education and leisure, with optimized ecological environment. The educational function of the park to protect the ecological environment is omnipresent, which integrates education with entertainment, and melts in the behavior of tourists enjoying the scenery, leisure and looking for nature.

The municipal water purification project of living water park is a good model for environmental education. In the city center, the combination of camp and landscape with water treatment is also rare in the world. The process of ecological water purification stimulates curious people to explore the mysteries of science and natural environment. Sculpture, spring and other design elements arouse aesthetic interest. The avenue, dense trees, clear water and green lawn make people enjoy the fresh and sweet air and enjoy the benefits of nature. The most important mission of the living water park is to enhance the public's awareness of environmental protection through every design element. Designers do not rebuild nature, but integrate public environmental art into nature protection

According to Li Huan, a reporter from West China Metropolis Daily, although Chengdu is thousands of miles away from Shanghai, the distance between the two cities has been narrowed because of the World Expo. In the urban best practice area of the Expo Park, the "living water park" from Chengdu is particularly eye-catching. Walking in the lush forest path, stepping on the cobblestone paved path, looking at the slowly flowing river and groups of small fish, I feel comfortable from the bottom of my heart. Chengdu live water park has been "moved" into the World Expo Park, and the live water park will go to the world through the platform of the World Expo.

The reason why the living water park can be honored as the elegant hall of the World Expo is that the park has the magical effect of sewage treatment, which can turn "dead water" into "living water". In an interview with reporters, the person in charge of Chengdu live water park said with great pride: "the case of live water park can provide ideas for sewage treatment in countries all over the world." It is understood that the living water park has become the only outdoor case in the urban practice area and will be permanently preserved after the Shanghai World Expo.

On June 7, 2010, the "Chengdu City special event" in the urban best practice area of Shanghai World Expo, Zhang Liangying sang "I love my city" in the "living water park", which was the world's best performance
