The revival of the floodplain is not just what it used to be. Jean Yumin, the designer of Hankou River Beach and a senior engineer of Wuhan Landscape Planning and Design Institute, believes that the design of the river beach is not only to build an urban garden, but also to become a kind of urban landscape and symbol. "Compared with the Bund in Shanghai, Wuhan River Beach has its inherent advantages, and this advantage is great." The area of Wuhan River Beach is 8 times larger than that of Shanghai Bund, and the landscape road along the river alone is 60 meters wide.
This vastness of nature also makes the floodplain in Wuhan have a three-storey water viewing platform, in which the high-rise viewing platform is more than 1 m higher than Malu, and the second floor is the water viewing platform, which will be flooded for two months in a year, and it feels like being at the seaside in flood season. The lowest platform will show the beach in the dry season, so people can step down and get closer to the river.
The overall pattern of the floodplain is "three areas and three belts".
Three areas: sightseeing area, central square area and leisure activity area.
Three areas: riverside characteristic area, recreational forest shade area and dike viewing area.
There is a dike viewing belt between Jiang Yan Road and Jiangtan driveway, a recreational forest belt between driveway and riverside trail, and a riverside characteristic belt to the south of riverside trail.
In addition, the horizontal riverside trail, the Lin Yin trail and the viewing gallery on the embankment run through the whole river beach.
Riverside characteristic area: a large-scale riverside hydrophilic space integrating high platform viewing, platform viewing and terrace playing with water. The riverside trail runs through it, with plum blossom lights and lotus leaf chairs along the way.
River bank slope protection: Rubble is used, and the surface is engraved with relief and ornamentation. There are two kinds of relief for slope protection-narrative relief, which shows the development history of Wuhan waterfront city; The reliefs of paleontological fossils and aquatic organisms in the Yangtze River reflect the expansion and contraction of Wuhan from ancient Yunmengze and Panlongcheng to the Middle Ages, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Han and Tang Dynasties, as well as the water-based prosperity in modern times.
Recreational forest belt: total length 1200m, width 3-8m. Pave blue series floor tiles and decorate them with floor lamps at regular intervals to form a blue ribbon. All kinds of green land are 6,543,800 square meters, accounting for 70% of the total land area of 28.8 square meters, and the green coverage rate reaches 90%, making Hankou River Beach the largest concentrated green space in Hankou riverside area.
Dike landscape belt: Focus on designing the viewing corridor on the dike to form a landscape belt integrating vertical greening, viewing corridor, leisure service and gentle slope greening landscape.
Sightseeing promenade on the dike: the gently sloping terraces are connected with the flood control wall, and the wooden walkway is set at the top, from which you can enjoy both the street view and the river view. Leisure cafes are arranged in some areas of the wooden trail, and retail, public health and other service facilities are set on the ground floor, with a total construction area of 2,000 square meters, forming the best place for sightseeing, river viewing and service.
In addition, a gentle slope green landscape belt with a width of 12 m is set between the flood control wall and the motorway.
Create three scenic spots
From Tianjin entrance square to the amphitheater is the sightseeing area of Guanjiang River, the gate of Lihuangpi Road is widened by 30 meters, the central square is the central square area, and from the central square to Yuehan Wharf is the leisure activity area.

The river view of the square is wide, and the exhibition center and flood control dispatching center are arranged on both sides of the square. Both buildings adopt streamlined shapes, which organically echo the shape of the passenger port. There is a parking lot of 3,400 square meters between the two buildings (parking 100 cars).
Looking at the scenery by the river-with the theme of "Song of the Yangtze River", sculptures such as "River Water" and "River of No Return" are arranged to show the cultural characteristics of the Yangtze River. Covering area 1500m2.

Central square area: the gate of Lihuangpi Road will be widened to 30 meters, forming an open pedestrian entrance. The central square is the main entrance area where green landscape, large waterscape and night scene blend. Including large-scale cascade landscape greening and "dance of light" square.
Central square-forming three spatial levels. The first floor is a semi-circular forest square, the second floor is an S-shaped glass corridor and light tunnel, with simple plastic shrubs and ground cover plants on both sides, and the third floor is a sparse forest grassland. As a whole, the three levels form an open and transparent cascade green landscape.
A series of waterscapes will be arranged from the entrance of Lihuangpi Road to Binjiang. At the end of the long waterscape is the "Dance of Light" square, which integrates ground lighting, paving and waterscape, and becomes a spectacular dry fountain and river viewing place.
Leisure activity area: it embodies the participation of leisure activities and the comfort and interest of space. Including water parks, dense forest areas and so on.
