Experience and operations
Building on Yanguan’s destination narrative, the project extends the visitor journey by linking spaces, programmes, and services into a cohesive experience. The route frames water edges, native planting, and small habitat nodes to make ecology visible to visitors. Wayfinding, pacing, and dwell points are designed so guests can move between discovery, participation, and rest without losing the sense of place.
Community and seasonal impact
Operations emphasize curated partnerships and repeatable programming. Stewardship plans align cleaning, planting, and seasonal closures with visitor flow. Seasonal refreshes, local collaborations, and performance touchpoints keep the offer fresh while supporting long-term brand equity.
