With the design principle of ‘living with water’, the design for the 17 km riverfront combines the flooding safety measures with ecological recovery measures; maintains the dynamic river balance, and creates bio-habitats for various local flora and fauna.

The design includes the river, the floodplain area with wetlands and lakes, and the river park area with a boulevard park of 5 kilometers with 80,000m2 of commercial space. Based on the climate resilience and flooding levels, planting and activities were chosen to create diverse landscapes. 

The design connects the Jing River, eco-corridors, and the inner green-blue network of the Jinghe New City to ensure the resiliency and the ecological safety of the city region.

As one of the 8 great rivers of Xi’an, the Jing river has gorgeous historical culture and recreational value. The river park will help to position the Jinghe New City as a touristic destination integrating the rich history, unique culture, and heritage of the region.
