Tianjin People's Park

　　   After the renovation, the park has retained the original Chinese garden style in its design, ensuring that the landscape, layout, garden architecture, and features are harmoniously consistent with the original garden architectural style, forming a park with typical characteristics of traditional Chinese garden design.

　　   The latter part of the park is primarily water-based. The original stone slope protection on the water’s surface has been replaced with a natural rock slope, organically integrating the rocks, lake water, and plants to reflect the natural charm of a traditional Chinese landscape garden. The original bridges on the central island in the lake had all deteriorated and were completely demolished. A 54.89-meter-long winding bridge was constructed at the center of the eastern causeway to connect to the island, with an 8.2-meter-span arched bridge built in the middle of the winding bridge. This breaks up the monotony of the long, curving bridge and adds some vertical variation in the landscape, creating a visual counterpoint with the corridor on the southwestern lakeside. The winding bridge and the central island divide the rear lake area into differently sized water spaces, while also improving navigability for pleasure boats.

　　   Additionally, a small 4-meter-span arched bridge has been reconstructed at the northern end of the causeway to connect to the land. All bridges are constructed with reinforced concrete, featuring imitation marble railings and granite-paved surfaces. The rest pavilion on the central island has been renovated and repainted, expanding the space available for visitors to rest and relax. A small shaded plaza has been built, with a crane-patterned mosaic in the center created using pebbles, adding a touch of classical Chinese garden aesthetics. The edges of the central island are lined with imitation marble railings, matching those of the winding bridge. Along the eastern section of the lake, a combination of three single-arm and two double-arm trellises planted with climbing Virginia creeper forms a green corridor, providing resting spots for visitors and framing the view of the rear lake, thereby serving to divide the garden space. Sections of the causeway are paved with pebbles, complementing the overall landscape and catering to visitors’ needs for leisure and fitness activities.

　　   Landscape greening has made maximum use of existing large trees and vegetation. The northern lakeside features gently undulating terrain to break the monotony of the long, flat topography. All exposed ground areas are covered with lawns and shrubs, ensuring no bare earth is visible, thus beautifying the park and improving the environment.
