Guitou Town Wetland Park / YXDesigners
Briefly

Located in Guitou Town, the Guitou Town Wetland Park, a joint initiative by YXDesigners and Vanke Urban Research Institute, aims to transform a frequently flooded wetland along the Wujiang River into a vibrant public space. Despite its challenges—soils unsuitable for agriculture and severe flooding—the area boasts rich biodiversity and scenic landscapes. After engaging local stakeholders, the project intends to maintain a balance with nature, revitalizing cultural ties between residents and their environment in a space dedicated to ecological appreciation.
The Guitou Town Wetland Park project aims to transform a neglected natural wetland into a community-friendly space that celebrates the region's ecological beauty.
This wetland, often submerged during floods, retains its pristine natural attributes, making it a unique location for public engagement with nature.
Through collaborative design and development, we wish to create a harmonious relationship between the local community and the natural environment surrounding Guitou Town.
The transformation seeks to revive local culture rooted in the human-nature interdependence observed by generations of villagers living by the Wujiang River.
