The planning of Jinyang Lake Scenic Area embodies great benefits.
As a landscape lake in a city park, Jinyang Lake has become the focus of attention in Taiyuan with its superior ecological environment, convenient transportation location and unique historical and cultural heritage. Around Jinyang Lake, various economic forms involving commerce, culture, eco-tourism and other aspects are constantly emerging, showing great social and ecological benefits.
The first phase of Jinyang Lake Scenic Area (Park) was completed and opened to the public on July 20 19. The first phase of the scenic spot takes modern leisure as its theme, including four functional areas, namely, the dynamic city in the east, the dream city in the north with modern and prosperous style, the memory city connecting Taihua industrial sites in the west, and the eco-city based on natural waters and landscape beautification in the south, including the ecological bird island and the creative performance of water tourism like a dream.
The four functional areas provide conditions for citizens to visit, rest, entertain, keep fit and play children's games, and are sought after by many tourists.
Positioning the world famous lake
The second and third phases of Jinyang Lake Scenic Area (Garden) are coming.
In the Plan for Ecological Protection and Restoration of Jinyang Lake (202 1—2035), the landscape planning scope is Jinyang Lake Scenic Area (Park), which is positioned as "a world-famous lake with integrated landscape, ancient and modern integration, oriental gardens and openness". Among them, the second phase starts from Huanhu North Road in the north, Mengshan Street in the south, Laojinci Road in the west and the first phase project area in the east, with a planned area of 2.36 square kilometers; The third phase is located in the west of Jinyang Avenue, with a planned area of 7.6 square kilometers.
On the ecological level, Jinyang Lake will develop into an ecological lake integrating mountains and lakes: a large ecological network of mountains, lakes, rivers, wetlands and green spaces will be built.
On the cultural level, it has developed into a cultural lake that blends ancient and modern times: highlighting the charm of Jin Feng and Tang Yun, Jinyang Lake, Jinyang Ancient City, Jinci and Shanxi Merchants have created four beautiful business cards for Taiyuan and even Shanxi to show their culture to the world.
On the landscape level, it will develop into a landscape lake of oriental gardens: the landscape construction techniques of oriental gardens will highlight the cultural heritage of Jinyang Lake.
As an open people's lake, Jinyang Lake Scenic Area (Park) will better meet the daily leisure needs of citizens and meet the basic functional configuration of the park; Combined with the needs of tourists, set up special service facilities.
Realize "river and lake connectivity"
Jinyang Lake is an artificial lake without its own water source. At present, the water supply source of Jinyang Lake into the lake is surface water, which comes from Fenhe Reservoir in the upper reaches of the main stream of Fenhe River, and is introduced from the west main canal of Fenhe No.1 Dam after being regulated by Fenhe Reservoir II.
The second and third phases of Jinyang Lake Scenic Area (Park) will make use of reclaimed water and rainwater resources in the south of the urban sewage treatment plant for water replenishment. The second phase wetland park undertakes to collect the rainwater resources within the scope of the second phase and the rainwater resources transferred from the third phase, use the wetland to buffer and store rainwater, purify the water quality, and then connect with Jinyang Lake to supplement the rainwater resources to Jinyang Lake. The third phase wetland park uses flood intercepting ditch system to collect rainwater resources in the upstream basin, and sets up bypass rainwater storage tanks to regulate and slow down rainwater resources. The rainwater quality is purified by the downstream constructed wetland and then connected to the secondary water system.
In the long run, Jinyang Lake still uses the west main canal for water supply and the Yellow River for water supply. Through the Xishan water supply project of Taiyuan metropolitan area water supply scheme, the Yellow River water is introduced into Yuye River and connected with the first phase of Jinyang Lake, so that the Yellow River water can pass through the lake, return from the water tank culvert in the southeast corner of the lake to Fenghe River, and then return from Fenghe River to the west main canal of Fenhe No.1 Dam. Through the "connection between rivers and lakes", the water in Jinyang Lake "came alive".
Newly-built seven scenic spots-Jinyuan Shenyun Scenic Area: Taking the garden culture of the State of Jin as the carrier, select celebrities and historical legends in the culture of the State of Jin, and show them in the form of gardening and plastic scenery, and plan four famous literati gardens: Yuan Di, Shaoboyuan, Xiangshan and Huhaiyuan. At the same time, the landscape water system is shaped in three forms: waterfall, stream and water surface, and pavilions and bridges are set up in the waterfront as landscape embellishment and staying space to create a garden-like landscape environment.
Xishan Lin Yun Scenic Area: Pile mountains on the west bank of Jinyang Lake and build pavilions on the top to form the highest point of the landscape around the lake, overlooking the lake in the east and Xishan in the west; At the same time, an east-west garden axis will be established, extending from Jingyang Avenue to the lake area, forming a etiquette axis integrating business, sightseeing and leisure.
Changhong Wobo Scenic Area: A 100-meter-long bridge is planned on the main lake on the west bank of the lake, and a wetland lake is planned on the west side of the bridge, forming a landscape attraction between the bridge and the Diwo Lake. The inner lake takes the lotus as the plant landscape feature, and combines the landscape theme of enjoying lotus around the lake to plan different waterfront paths and landscape gardens.
Gengnong Qiupu Scenic Area: Located in Jinyang Ancient City Site Protection Area, the landscape maintains the current natural agricultural ecological landscape characteristics and optimizes the ecological environment quality of the site protection area.
Mengshan Ladder Garden Scenic Area: Mengshan Ladder Garden takes "planting rice in Jinci" as its design concept, and keeps a terrace between the foothills of Mengshan Mountain and Jinyang Lake to create a landscape area integrating cultural science popularization, ecological education and history. In the long run, water will be diverted from the Yellow River to realize the flow of Jinyang Lake.
Cao Lu Dietang Scenic Area: The scenic area is high in the west and low in the east. The water system forms a cascade waterfall from west to east, and two planned wetlands are formed on the flat north bank. Wetlands on both sides of the waterfront are characterized by herbs such as reeds and calamus. Local tree species such as plum, peach and plum are matched with trees to create a wetland pastoral landscape.
Quxi Wetland Scenic Area: A cascade ecological plant water system is introduced, based on wetlands and islands, and decorated with landscape structures such as ecological bridges and corridors to create a near-ecological wetland landscape environment.
Enhance the slow-moving experience
At present, the functional plates of Jinyang Lake Scenic Area (Park) are separated by expressways, with weak connectivity and single internal travel experience path, so it is necessary to increase the road network system of slow travel, tourism and scenic spots.
Jinyang Lake Scenic Area (Park) will build a multi-line traffic and sightseeing system, learn from the experience of the West Lake, build a tourism transportation system featuring green cycling, slow waterfront, water sightseeing and landscape car behavior, and create a green, slow and convenient tourism transportation system in the scenic area. When tourists play, the speed is from fast to slow, and they walk from the hinterland to the water. In order to break through the border, it will also open the communication channel with Xishan, realize the integration of lake and mountain, build four three-dimensional two-story corridors, break the separation effect between expressway and urban roads, and strengthen the continuous slow-moving experience of tourists.
According to the Plan, Jinyang Avenue will realize the underpass of the main line and the landscape of the ground road, and eliminate its division between the second and third phases of Jinyang Lake Scenic Area (Park). At the same time, it is necessary to build a scenic spot roadway that is convenient to reach, and plan the roadway to connect the main roads of the city and connect the core scenic spots in series. According to the standard of the boulevard, the driveway will be built, and 2 to 4 rows of trees with rich seasons will be planted to form a beautiful landscape.
Yingze Park will build a 3,000 square meter free children's playground.
When Yingze Park was completely rebuilt, the original amusement facilities were demolished. This time, an area will be opened in the southwest corner to build a new children's playground.
At present, the project has started and the estimated construction period is one month.
The so-called unpowered amusement facilities refer to the equipment and places that embody amusement by natural slope and height without any external force driving. To put it more bluntly, it is to let children climb, jump, run and jump to achieve the purpose of amusement, which can strengthen their health and help develop their intelligence.
Compared with the original facilities such as roller coasters, carousels, bumper cars, umbrella towers and swivel chairs, the newly-built children's playground is quiet, noiseless and safer without electric drive.
