Tanghe River Park

Last updated

Tanghe River Park is located in the Chinese city of Qinhuangdao. It was created on the coast of Tanghe River in July 2006, and is home to the Red Ribbon, a red steel bench which stretches for half a kilometre through the park. The Ribbon has won an honor award from the American Society of Landscape Architects, and was chosen by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine as one of the seven wonders of the architectural world. [1]

Along the Red Ribbon's steel bench there are various plants planted every so often along the river park bench. The bench has four pavilions that are shaped like clouds making it a unique structure to help protect against weather. The pavilions are places for the visitors of the park to gather for social meetings that give the people an interesting aesthetic. The ecological processes and natural sites are intact, which are two attributes that are in high regards of visitors. [2]

An urban park or metropolitan park, also known as a city park, municipal park, public park, public open space, or municipal gardens (UK), is a park or botanical garden in cities, densely populated suburbia and other incorporated places that offer recreation and green space to residents of, and visitors to, the municipality. They are generally landscaped by design, instead of lands left in their natural state. The design, operation and maintenance is usually done by government agencies, typically on the local level, but may occasionally be contracted out to a park conservancy, "friends of" group, or private sector company.

Teardrop Park is a 1.8-acre (0.7 ha) public park in lower Manhattan, in Battery Park City, near the site of the World Trade Center. It was designed by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, a New York City landscape architecture firm. The park includes art designed for it by Ann Hamilton. The park sits between residential buildings toward the north end of Battery Park City at the corner of Warren Street and River Terrace. The creation of Teardrop Park is part of the ongoing construction of Battery Park City, a neighborhood on the southwest edge of Manhattan Island that was created in the 1970s by landfilling the Hudson River between the existing bulkhead and the historic pierhead line. Before construction, the site was empty and flat. The park was designed in anticipation of four high residential towers that would define its eastern and western edges. Although Teardrop Park is a New York City public park, the client for the park was the Battery Park City Authority, and maintenance is overseen by the Battery Park City Parks Conservancy.
