Features: The scenery has earned Hangzhou the reputation of a "paradise on earth." In recent years, the new landscapes of Hangzhou have showcased the city's urban scenery and leisure lifestyle, driving urban transformation and development, making it China's best commercial city and most livable city. Hangzhou's new landscapes expand the original concept of West Lake scenery, presenting the characteristics of China's new landscape design. At the same time, they have matured in terms of artistic conception, spatial arrangement, environmental integration, distinctive features, and detailed execution. The book features examples such as West Yang Gong Dike, San Tai Mountain, and Mao Jiabu in West Lake; West Lake Tiandi, Changqiao Park, and Xinhu Binbei along the southern ring of West Lake; and the ecology and water, architecture and bridges of Xixi. These examples help us build confidence in local landscape design. On one hand, the book reviews and summarizes the achievements of the dual integration of West Lake and Xixi. On the other hand, it facilitates communication and learning in local landscape and architectural design. It also helps broaden perspectives, allowing readers to learn from the practice of local landscape design in China. With numerous images, the book presents a rich, diverse, and unprecedented new landscape of Hangzhou.
