Tanghe River Park Red Ribbon

Tanghe River Park Red Ribbon, Qinhuangdao City, is an excellent example of contemporary landscape design in China. It has a 500 m  Red Ribbon, made of steel and fiberglass, in a natural wetland habitat. The ribbon, and its red colour, are a uniquely Chinese conception - without being a sentimental historical re-creation. The park was designed by Kongjian Yu of Turenscape, who runs one of the largest landscape architecture firms in China.
