Sanjiangkou

Sanjiangkou

Sanjiangkou is the earliest "Ningbo Port" in Ningbo, which is the area from the foot of Lingqiao to xiabaisha in the north of the river. In the 1970s, Ningbo had built a port passenger terminal, but this area is still very prosperous with hundreds of boats berthing.

Regional profile

Yongjiang River, Yaojiang River and Fenghua River converge in Ningbo. Where the three rivers meet, the Sanjiangkou is formed. The scenery there is very beautiful. The three administrative regions of Ningbo are divided into three parts: Jiangdong District in the East, Haishu District in the southwest and Jiangbei District in the north.

Sanjiangkou is the earliest "Ningbo Port" in Ningbo, which is the area from the foot of Lingqiao to xiabaisha in the north of the river. In the 1970s, Ningbo had built a port passenger terminal, but this area is still very prosperous with hundreds of boats berthing. People who know the history of Ningbo know that since ancient times, Mingzhou (Ningbo) has always been an excellent main port for China's opening to the outside world, especially in the Tang Dynasty, when "foreign countries, jiachuanjiao", Ningbo became a famous foreign trade port in China, and was listed as China's three major ports together with Yangzhou and Guangzhou; in the Song Dynasty, it was listed as China's main port along with Guangzhou and Quanzhou After the Opium War, Ningbo was designated as one of the "five ports for trade".

Long term planning

More than 1000 years ago in the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were many masts and thousands of sails at Sanjiangkou, Ningbo, which was the starting port of the famous "maritime Silk Road" in Chinese history. Today, the scene of a harbor full of boats has long disappeared. Ningbo Planning Bureau began to redevelop the core area of Sanjiangkou. In the reconstruction and upgrading plan, besides the previous traffic strategy and waterfront space construction strategy, it proposed the strategy of improving the city image. It includes the idea of moderately restoring the wharf, improving the functionality of the bridge across the river, adopting the same logo for the riverside space, and so on, hoping to reproduce the grand scene of "overseas miscellaneous countries, jiachuanjiao".

New scene 1

In addition to the basic function of connecting the two sides of the river, the functionality and activity of the bridge have been paid more attention, which has become a new perspective for viewing the city in the river.

One bridge, one scene, and coordinate with the surrounding environment. At the same time, it is planned to open up the space under the bridge, make the waterfront walk through, increase the lighting of the space under the bridge, and improve the quality of the activity space under the bridge. Some functional public art works will be implanted along the river, such as riverside cafes, rest booths, street furniture, etc. At night, the landscape lights are on, and there is another style of riverside.

In the plan of "city image promotion" of Sanjiangkou core area, it is mentioned that "the wharf function should be moderately restored". However, the wharf function in the plan is no longer a place for material distribution, but a water space for leisure and entertainment. Along the river, combined with the functions of the surrounding cities, we set up urban water sightseeing, water bus, cruise ship and other docks. Combined with the main dock space, through a variety of public art techniques, we can reproduce the impression of the harbor and dock, and moderately implant commercial activities, forming the main commercial entertainment block of the dock.

New scene 2

Super high rise buildings far away from the river bank

In the previous planning assumption, it was mentioned that the height and density of buildings in the "riverside space field" should be limited. However, super high-rise buildings are the best viewing platform overlooking the panorama, and also the coordinate system of urban landscape creation.

Therefore, the plan proposes that the case of Shanghai Bund can be used for reference, and the super high-rise buildings can be arranged in the reconstruction and renewal plot, and around the ring road of Linyin Avenue, which is further away from the river. The low-rise, medium and high-rise buildings along the river and the high-rise buildings farther away form the waterfront skyline with rich levels. The more romantic idea is that when the night is lit by bright lights, when the festival fireworks fly, the surrounding high-rise buildings also integrate into the beautiful scenery.

New scene 3

Riverside space should also unify logo

Those who have come into contact with the "impression of West Lake" will be deeply impressed by the "logo". The waterfront space field should also be marked with a unified logo and a series of logo colors to increase the identifiability.

What kind of logo can you remember at a glance? What elements can summarize the core area and reflect the regional and cultural characteristics? The plan also gives some tentative ideas.

The core waterfront is the most representative area of the city, and the details should be polished. The planning puts forward suggestions on improving street furniture, lighting, handrails, sculptures, etc., such as local renewal of waterside handrails from the perspective of practicality and safety, design of urban sketches for shading and rain shelter, and adoption of landscape furniture with consistent style in the whole waterside park.
