Brief introduction of mine garden in Songjiang Chen Shan Botanical Garden

Mine Garden is one of the scenic spots of Chen Shan Botanical Garden, located in the northwest corner of Chen Shan Botanical Garden, near the northwest entrance, and designed by Professor Zhu Yufan of Tsinghua University. The original site of the mine belongs to a century-old artificial mining relic. According to the requirements of mine enclosure and ecological restoration, combined with the seclusion thought of "Peach Blossom Garden" in ancient China, and using the existing landscape conditions, the waterfall, graben, plank road, water curtain cave and other contents closely combined with natural terrain were designed to deepen people's understanding of nature. Make use of the existing mountain ridge, carry out deep carving, and make it have the form and artistic conception of China landscape painting. The mine garden highlights the theme of rehabilitation garden and is the leading gardening in China.

Play with feelings

Although the mine garden is artificially transformed, it is as ingenious as nature. Of course, when you come to Chen Shan Botanical Garden, you can't miss the Mine Park. The main passage of the mine park is160m landscape pontoon bridge. The ingenious pontoon bridge is stuck on a horizontal plane 30 meters below the ground level. Walking on it is like walking on water. At this time, the cliffs around you will be in a trance and will collapse. Coupled with the small shaking feeling of the pontoon bridge, people feel "it is difficult to go to the sky!" . Standing in the middle of the pontoon bridge, surrounded by cliffs and waterfalls, the Metasequoia forest blocks the sun, and at this moment it is like being cornered. Crossing the pontoon bridge is a dark cave. After drilling through the cave, I can't help sighing the magic of the mine garden.

Garden design award

The design of the mine park has been affirmed by many peers and won the second China Building Media Award in one fell swoop. The nomination reason in Kiki wrote: What can a mine become? In today's rapid urbanization process, many industrial wasteland has become a headache. Through graceful walking, Zhu Yufan turned it into a beautiful garden and added a pleasant playground for the citizens. As the only exposed bedrock area in Shanghai, most peaks of Jiu Feng Sancha have many problems similar to those of Chen Shan. The method of finding and summarizing the suitable transformation path in the mine garden is also of certain reference significance to other peaks.

Floating bridge in mine garden

A bird's eye view of the mine garden is like a white snake swimming on the water. This "white snake" is the main passage of the mine garden-the mine garden pontoon bridge. In order to make people closer to nature and integrate into the landscape, the pontoon bridge was carefully designed by the author and built by yingde city Deli Pontoon Bridge Engineering Co., Ltd. The total length of the pontoon bridge is about 160m, and the width is1.6m. The whole pontoon bridge adopts a modular structure, consisting of special boats, steel structures and imported anticorrosive wooden boards.
