Ecological City will lead central urbanarea of Guangzhou to develop to the
south. The masterplan of Lingnan Square is intended to establish a moreopen

The concepts of urban design and landscape design
areinspired by Baiyun Mountains and Zhonghzou Islandin Pear River. Differently
shaped islands scatter onthe background of natural forest: newly built museumbuilding,
Chigang Potato, or preserved buildingsembracing Creative Industry Center, or
landscapes withdifferent function. Each island has its distinct featuresand
different atmosphere created by selected plants andeach of them is
distinguished by a poetic name, such asbeauty, fog, fragrance and meaning etc.
