Why can Wuhan East Lake Greenway be called "World-class Greenway"?

Some people say that she is the East Lake in Wuhan; Some people say that she is the greenway of the world. In the past two years, the 124 km long Wuhan East Lake Greenway has driven a city's greenway network system of nearly 400 km, and conducted a vivid practice of integrating urban ecology, humanities and functions. East Lake has become a model of "Beautiful China" in Hubei and Wuhan, winning world-class praise.

visit

The daily passenger flow is as high as 260,000 passengers.

On 20 16 12.28, Wuhan East Lake Greenway (Phase I) unveiled its green veil to the world. The greenway with a total length of 28.7 kilometers is the first 5A scenic spot in China and the closest greenway to Wuhan residents. Over the past year, visiting the greenway has gradually become a habit of living in Wuhan, and it has also become a "green pearl" to attract guests from all corners of the country.

Here is a set of data: the statistics of the East Lake Scenic Area Management Committee. Up to now, the East Lake Greenway has received nearly 8 million tourists; According to the data of Donghu Greenway Company, since its opening, the daily passenger flow of the Greenway has reached more than 260,000, and the passenger flow during peak hours has exceeded 30,000. According to the opinion poll, 95% of the respondents said that after the initial greenway test, they would choose the greenway again for leisure. Playing the East Lake Greenway has become one of Wuhan people's favorite leisure lifestyles.

Li Tongtong, who lives in Donghu Garden, has become her best "train yard". Since this spring, my parents have taken her to the Greenway for cycling and skateboarding every weekend. Now, with the auxiliary wheels removed, she can ride alone and follow her parents' bicycles across the East Lake Greenway, becoming a real "little rider".

She is a greenway, a natural corridor and a preset standard track. As of June this year, there were 7 1 1 3 events in Greenway * *, with 320,000 participants, including Wuhan Marathon and C4 Summit East Lake Greenway Cycling Race. The East Lake Greenway is becoming the "spokesperson" for healthy living and positive progress.

Xiao Yuan, an engineer in the design institute, likes running marathons. If there is time and opportunity, he will take part in marathons all over the country. This year's "Hanma" is his first time to win a local marathon. "When running through the greenway section, the trees walked behind him and the beautiful scenery appeared in front of him. This is naturally a kind of awe and closeness to nature. With the wind brought by your own breathing and running, this feeling can only be found on the Wuhan Marathon runway and will never be forgotten. "

Or swim slowly, or ride a horse ... This open urban greenway contains all kinds of ways to spread happiness, leaving a beautiful and happy journey.

build

The three advantages are comparable to world-class.

At the beginning of the construction of the East Lake Greenway (Phase I), our goal was to achieve "world-class" construction, which is expected to be comparable to the rural greenways in central France and the greenways around Singapore. After opening to the outside world, its three major advantages are convincing after investigation by millions of citizens.

First, it's natural. Kang Dezhi, the main person in charge of East Lake Greenway Planning and senior planner of Wuhan Urban Land Use and Urban Spatial Planning Research Center, once introduced that the concept of greenway was introduced from abroad and became popular in China in recent years. The famous greenways in China are Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang Province and the first greenway in Guangdong Province. The landscape along these greenways is "green" with beautiful vegetation, and some of them face the sea. "The biggest highlight of the East Lake Greenway is the' natural treasure' of East Lake," Kang Dezhi explained. As a national 5A-level scenic spot, East Lake is a "natural treasure" in Wuhan people's hearts, with mountains and water and profound cultural heritage. The greenway built here is also very natural, which is incomparable to other greenways.

Second, good. Wang Zhaokun, executive director of East Lake Greenway Project of China Construction Third Bureau, said that the project department has specially compiled the fine construction standard of East Lake Greenway Project, which consists of more than 50 items in the category of 10, far exceeding the industry standard. Strolling through the middle of the East Lake Greenway, you can see that the gap between the bluestone slabs by the lake is 2 cm; Laying pebbles on the walkway, first using computer to simulate typesetting, and then construction, to ensure uniform jointing; The nail holes on the surface of Indonesian pineapple wood laid on the hydrophilic plank road are blocked with small round blocks. There is a 60-meter-long forest road paved with bamboo tubes and bamboo chips on the country road. Xu Zhongyuan, the builder of China No.1 Metallurgical Company, said that eight landscape craftsmen laid the short circuit within two months because the raw materials needed high temperature treatment and laying.

The third is convenience. The rural greenway in central France is nearly 800 kilometers long, spanning 8 cities, and it is very convenient for running and cycling. The greenway around Singapore connects several parks in series, and the East Lake Greenway pays more attention to sightseeing. According to the person in charge of the East Lake Greenway Project of Wuhan Real Estate Group, the East Lake Greenway is located in the main urban area of Wuhan, with mountains and water. Perfect for the whole family to play together. It is very convenient for citizens to come by car or by bus, just like their own back garden.

It is reported that the concept of "sponge city" has been adopted in the planning and construction, and various ecological measures such as "infiltration, stagnation, storage, purification, utilization and drainage" have been adopted to purify the water body of East Lake. After the opening up, coupled with the green travel measures prohibiting all motor vehicles, the ecological environment along the greenway has been further improved, and the water quality of East Lake has reached the best in 40 years.

Explore the beauty in the green heart.

If the first phase of the East Lake Greenway brought surprises to the public, then the second phase of the Greenway brought a cup of delicious green tea to everyone.

The second phase of East Lake Greenway started in March this year, with a planned investment of 35 1 10,000 yuan, with a total length of 73.28 kilometers, including Zhenghu Greenway in Guo Huan, Greenway around Tangling Lake and Greenway around Houhu Lake. It is divided into five theme greenways, namely, Hucheng Road, Hu Ze Road, Huqiu Road, Hulin Road and Forest Road, which are connected with eco-tourism scenic resources such as Moshan Scenic Area, Tingtao Scenic Area, Luo Yan Scenic Area, Wuhan Botanical Garden and Maanshan Forest Park. As of June 65438+1October 65438+May, the second phase of the project has been completed for more than 70 kilometers. 65438+After the whole line is completed and opened to traffic on February 28th, the second phase will form a "seamless" ring with the first phase, forming a 100-kilometer greenway landscape.

The reason why it is green tea is that it will be presented to people with the whole ecological attitude. In the second stage, there are strong winds and waves on the lakeshore, and some unstable coastlines need manual intervention. The design team put forward the draft of "respecting natural sites". It is reported that except Hucheng Road, the design of the four theme greenways is different: Hu Ze Road only strengthens the unstable revetment, imitates natural plants and prevents wind and waves from washing away; Huqiu road, it is planned to add Chinese fir pile revetment, and the rest will remain unchanged; The forest road will adopt riprap and cedar pile revetment, and the style will be consistent with the forest park; Hulin Road is dominated by natural coastline, and the newly-built sections are only protected by Chinese fir piles.

The reason why it is green tea is that it will arouse many memories of the citizens. For example, the little white elephant in Tingtao Scenic Area in the second phase of Greenway will choose a new elephant sculpture to find people's urban homesickness hidden in East Lake. Another example is the landscape transformation of public houses, lakes and fish ponds in Yuguang Village, which not only transformed the villagers into service points themselves, but also preserved the historical features of the original village. After the villagers move out, some greenways will be integrated in the residential area.

The reason why it is green tea is that it will become the window of cultural Wuhan. It is reported that the second phase of landscape design has increased the penetration of traditional culture, including not only the culture of Chu and Han in East Lake and the culture of the Three Kingdoms, but also the elements of traditional poetry, characters and solar terms. For example, Hu Ze Road Baimazhou Peach Blossom Island will become China East Lake International Public Art Park. Wu Shuo, head of the East Lake Greenway Project of the Garden Branch of Wuhan Urban Landscape Planning and Design Institute, said: "The second phase of the project will connect many rare and beautiful landscapes and cultures, and greatly reduce the traces of artificial carving."
