Here is the report on the local newspaper. The reporter didn't ask for courtesy showing. Not even mentioning the designer's name. I still thank him or her for posting my rendering for the first time on the newspaper.

The site of the Xuanwumen Park uesd to be an industrial land. The government rezoned the land and proposed a new public park as a crucial part of the urban upgrade next to a major subway station. One of the important design purposes is to reconnect Xuanwu Lake, the biggest lake in the city, at the east and the downtown area at the west. The pedestrian circulation in the area has been put into the consideration in order to create an efficient and enjoyable walking system linking the subway station, the high-rise community, the exhbition center and the lake beach.

China International Practical Exhibition of Architecture(CIPEA) is a project featuring a collection of architectural structures designed by a group of renowned architects and designers including Irata Isozaki of Japan, Steven Holl of the US. The landscape concept for the first parcel was proposed to help restore the natural mountain landscape initially destroyed during the contruction of the site. Parking, pedestrian ways, rest spots and many supporting facilities have been integrated into the site with minimal impact to the surrounding environment. Landscape in this project has to play a backgroud role in order to make a clear contrast with the architects' works.

The landscape design for the entrance of Four Seasons Hotel at Sanya Hainan Island draws on the local tropical creek and steep mountain slope to create a high-end resort entrance featuring unique water cascades experience. Going through the entry road is like going through a journey with a tropical creek with the highest excitement of water feature ending at the hotel gate.
