Fengming Mountain Park is set on a 16,000 square meters site, located in the growing Shapingba District of Chongqing. The site extends south to the old housing quarter, north to the Huayu City Project, west to Shangqiao Road and east to Fengxi Road, which is the main entrance and highest point of the site. Opened in Spring 2013, visitors are taken on a dynamic journey via a series of iconic mountain-shaped follies, plazas, greenery and water features to the proposed Vanke Golden City Development sales centre.
The brief was to design a demonstration park and urban public realm to express a unique indentiy in order to market the future development. The park is required to draw attention to the development sales centre from the upper main road and entrance from Fengxi Road; and be adaptable for retrofit and integration for the adjacent future development.Extreme topography creates both a functional challenge to facilitate pedestrian and vehicle movement from the upper carpark to the sales centre at the lowest point; and a unique opportunity to provide a dynamic landscape – the ‘mountain‘.
