South Gate Square

Designed by Academician He Jingtang Create a \”Sea of ​​Flowers in the Clouds\” at the South Gate

The main gate of Baiyun Mountain is led by a master team led by Academician He Jingtang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a professor and doctoral supervisor of South China University of Technology, in accordance with the principle of \”one course, one policy, one course\” Created with the idea of ​​\”one scene\”, it highlights the characteristics of Lingnan. The completed gates of Baiyun Mountain such as Keziling Gate, Ximen and Cuizhuyuan Gate have been expanded with large green open spaces. They are grand and integrated with the Baiyun Mountain scenery. They are in harmony with the mountain scenery and are refreshing. According to reports, the reconstructed gate posts involve a construction scale of about 200,000 square meters, including 7 main gate posts and 10 secondary gate posts.

The Baiyun Mountain Yunshan South Road Distribution Plaza, now the south gate of Baiyun Mountain, is an important gateway to the city and tourists in the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area. In order to establish a new portal image of the Baiyun Mountain Gate, enhance the characteristics of the South Gate Entrance, and enhance the identity of the South Gate entering the mountain, the He Jingtang team adopted the design theme of \”Sea of ​​Flowers among the Clouds\”, \”echoing the image of Baiyun Mountain\’s green mountains half entering the city, and at the same time Guangzhou is also the city of flowers, so we took the meaning of \”flower sea among the clouds\” and combined white clouds, kapok, mountains andCombine it together. \”Academician He Jingtang introduced to reporters.

He Jingtang said that the existing South Gate Gate is not prominent enough and the landscape environment is messy, which cannot well reflect the characteristics of Baiyun Mountain. The new design will be the iconic gate tower. Moved 40 meters forward and placed in front of the existing large banyan tree, it will become a square that dominates the entire south gate distribution area and is an important landscape landmark guiding tourists up the mountain. The reporter saw in the design renderings that the gate has a free and flexible shape, like flowing clouds. Floating among the mountains and green mountains, it is like a cloud umbrella spreading out to cover it. Under the sunshine, the light and shadow on the ground are mottled. land Blooming and beating.

It is reported that the construction of the south gate of Baiyun Mountain is expected to be completed by the end of this year. “The new distribution square will provide tourists with a way to walk among flowers, swim among clouds, and walk among mountains. new space experience. \”

Keziling Gate

Aerial view, it looks like a five-goat head

\” Aerial shot, The entire Mengang Square space looks like it has \”goat\’s horns\” and \”goat\’s head\”, which is completely an unexpected gain after its completion. Chen Xiong, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Architectural Design Institute, is the architect of the reconstruction of the Keziling Gate. He said with a smile that the winding corridor of the Keziling Gate after completion is shaped like a five-goat sculpture. \”Then we will use this \’beautiful coincidence\’ to Let’s tell about the cultural history of Yangcheng. ”

Chen Xiong said that the original gate gate had a narrow interface and poor visitor access and landscape experience. After this renovation, the gate gate was moved, the front square was expanded, and the entrance opening surface was widened to 110 meters. “The area has been expanded.” \”It has doubled.\”

The reporter saw on the spot that the now-completed Keziling Gate is located at the entrance of Baiyun Mountain on Dajinzhong Road. The newly built landscape corridor is more than 200 meters long, light and smooth, and forms the iconic landscape wall of Baiyun Mountain culture. \”We have set up a multi-level and three-dimensional activity platform to provide citizens with entertainment, sports and communication. In an integrated place, it enhances citizens\’ sense of participation and gain, and truly realizes the vision of \’returning greenery to the people and returning scenery to the people\’. ” Chen Xiong introduced.

■Ximengang, Baiyun Mountain

Ximengang

The gate post was upgraded to a view of 10,000 square metersObservation belt, functional area

Guo Mingzhuo, a national engineering survey and design master and consultant chief architect of Guangzhou Design Institute, is the chief designer of the improvement and renovation of the west gate of Baiyun Mountain. He explained to reporters “the origin of the concept of ‘mountain gate’” in Ximenggang. \”Baiyun Mountain is the \’backer\’ behind Guangzhou people, and there are many stories in history. We used this as a starting point to determine the concept of \’mountain gate\’ to express the accumulation of historical culture.\” The reporter saw at Ximen Gang, which has been opened for use. The glass roof of the steel structure is open and bright, and the sunlight shines through, shining brightly on the granite stone gate. The mottled light and shadow are reflected on the stone gate and the ground, forming a unique visual effect.

It is understood that the original gate building is obscured by canopy greenery, the landscape is messy, the square has weak identification, and lacks space to attract tourists to stop and linger. In this renovation, the closed green belt was transformed into a slow-travel landscape belt, and the citizen square was expanded from 4,458 square meters to 11,245 square meters, with a completed green area of ​​6,000 square meters. It is also the gate square with the largest area among the gate gates that have been renovated. At the same time, a 180-square-meter tourist service center has been built at the gate to improve tourists\’ convenience, comfort and experience satisfaction.

The gate of Cuizhuyuan

The scenery of the stream is unique

“The biggest change is the lovesickness in front of the gate. The landscape along the river now feels like a Lingnan water town, and you can feast your eyes on it before even entering the park.\” Citizen Mr. He took his children to take photos in front of the Baiyun Mountain Bamboo Garden. Cuizhuyuan Gate Post seems to be the least known among the many renovated gate posts, but it is \”small but exquisite\” and full of the designers\’ ingenious intentions. Cheng Lu, chief architect of Xian Jianxiong United Architectural Design Office in Guangzhou, said, “Compared with other gate posts, Cuizhuyuan Gate Post uses a technique as close to nature as possible to create the image of a mountain gate, making it as close to nature as possible. This is I think the biggest highlight. \”Therefore, the Cuizhuyuan gate is closer to nature as a whole, showing a state of unity with nature and harmony with the surrounding environment.

The water surface of the original Acacia river section is narrow, the plants are complicated and messy, the landscape quality is poor, and the sense of existence is weak. By opening up river greening space and renovating the greening area of ​​23,000 square meters, a natural and transparent waterside green space has been formed, creating a poetic stream landscape that combines mountains and rivers with a beautiful environment.

The citizens who came here lamented that when they first entered, it was a relatively narrow passage with deep winding paths and a unique cave. The more they walked inside, the wider it became. “I really like this design, which is both private and atmospheric.”
