On December 26th, the reporter learned from the command center for the preparation of the 15th China (Wenzhou) International Garden Expo that the construction of the Wenzhou Garden Expo project is currently progressing in an orderly manner, and the overall design has completed its stage work, presenting a landscape style of "one pond, three mountains, and twelve scenery". On that day, Zhao Peng, Vice President of Zhejiang Urban and Rural Planning and Design Research Institute, was interviewed by reporters and revealed the concept behind the design of the project.

Behind the design lies the concept of transformation

The rendering of the Wenzhou Garden Expo Park project shows that a pond refers to the central lake within the park, named Xianhu; The three mountains are Xianmen Mountain, Laohu Mountain, and Huangqiao Mountain, which surround Xianhu Lake; The twelve scenic spots are Haishi Jiahua, Xiange Range Rover, Seven Star Egret, Ou Feng Wingspan, Pearl Splendor, Peach Blossom Spring, Blowing Terrace Steaming Clouds, Rongdun Smoke and Rain, Flower Embankment Night Moon, Ouyu Listening to the Qin, Xianhe Ferry, and Landscape Grand View. The names fully reflect the cultural heritage of Wenzhou's landscape poetry.

Unlike previous editions of the Garden Expo, this year's focus is on transformation, with the biggest highlight being the prominence of the People's Garden Expo and the City wide Garden Expo. Zhao Peng explained that the People's Garden Expo mainly focuses on bringing people closer together. In previous years, the venue of the Garden Expo was relatively far away from the central urban area of the host city. Ouhai is close to the center of Wenzhou city, and there are transportation facilities such as National Highway 104, Wenzhou South Railway Station, and urban railways in the surrounding area. During this year's Garden Expo, the park will implement policies such as free admission for citizens and foreign tourists. In addition, the design also fully integrates relevant content such as the Wenzhou Strong City Action Plan and the construction of the Beautiful Ouhai.

After the end of the Garden Expo, it will become a botanical garden

The overpass bridge project is the first project to commence in the Wenzhou Garden Expo Park project. On the afternoon of December 26th, the reporter came to the construction site of the project to understand the situation. Shi Wei, Chairman of Chengcheng Development Group Mingcheng Company and Chairman of Wenzhou Garden Expo Park Construction and Development Co., Ltd., introduced that the project connects the south and north parks of the Garden Expo Park, and one-third of the pile foundation construction has been completed so far. In addition, surrounding supporting engineering projects are also progressing in an orderly manner, such as the reconstruction and expansion of Fansheng Road and the construction of seven other supporting roads.

The Xianhu Reservoir Project has started construction, and more than half of the water excavation has been completed, "said Shi Wei. The total project is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, and the park is scheduled to open in April 2026. During this period, the construction team will" bring "all the" one pond, three mountains, and twelve scenery "in the design renderings to reality, and all the landscapes will be carefully crafted based on natural landscapes.

In addition, experts have revealed that after the Wenzhou Garden Expo, the North Garden of the Garden Expo will become a sustainable tourist consumption destination, while the South Garden will become a botanical garden and a new landmark in Ouhai, providing citizens with a good place for leisure and play.

The Wenzhou Garden Expo Park project covers a total area of over 3000 acres and spans two streets, Panqiao and Guoxi.
