The Origin of Honghu Park in Shenzhen

In the past, Honghu Lake was just a flood storage and detention area with cross-flow of sewage, overgrown weeds and breeding of mosquitoes and flies. Over the years, the Honghu Park Management Office under the Municipal Urban Management Bureau, with the support of all parties, has taken many measures to create a natural ecological landscape, plant trees and grass, attract birds, greatly improve the ecological environment of the park, and add a good place for Shenzhen people to play.

At the beginning of the park construction, Shenzhen Garden Company was invited to take charge of the overall planning and design, and then Beijing Forestry University Landscape Planning and Architectural Design Institute and other units were invited to make design adjustments. The park is positioned as a comprehensive park integrating water activities, amusement and leisure, and is divided into Honghu Lake, Jingyi Lake, Lianxiang Lake, Yingritan Lake, Dongling Island, Xixiu Island, Yang Shanping, Green Balance, Hexian Island, Chaoyang Slope, Bird Forest and other scenic spots. At the same time, pavilions, corridors, bridges and pavilions will run through the lakes, ponds and islands in the park, forming a whole, and all the scenic spots will be combined with the natural environment, which fully embodies the traditional garden style of "secluded pavilions in the flowers, peaceful pavilions crossing the water" and "although people make them, they will open themselves from the sky". These constitute the ecological foundation of Honghu Lake today.

Water is the most spiritual place in Honghu Park. 199 1 dredged the lake bottom, and planned, designed and landscaped the park on the basis of maintaining the existing landform. In the scenic area, the topography formed by the dredging project at the bottom of the lake is used to build an inner dike to separate the Buji River and eliminate the pollution source of the Buji River; The scenic spots such as Xia Fenglian, Honghu fishing and Xixinge were designed. Later, in view of the rich oxidation of the lake, the park adopted a scientific method to build the first artificial wetland in Shenzhen on the northwest side of the park, and used aquatic plants to purify the water, making the water in Honghu Lake clear. At the same time, the park also sends special personnel to clean up the floating objects on the lake every day, cut off the residual load and keep the water clean all the year round. At present, the park has been certified by ISO 1400 1 international environmental quality management system, and the landscape of Taxodium ascendens forest belt on the east coast of Honghu Lake has basically been well protected; Lianxiang Lake and the island where birds cast their forests are surrounded by water, with dense and green trees, which are ideal places for all kinds of birds to inhabit. In the cold winter, walking along the shore of Honghu Lake, thousands of herons live on the island, which is spectacular when flying, adding the beautiful natural landscape of Honghu Lake and becoming a landscape of Shenzhen.

Honghu Park is unique in the refinement and scientificity of plant landscaping. The park has created many beautiful plant landscapes by using rich garden materials and numerous plant varieties, and adopting traditional gardening techniques in China, such as the majestic waterscape of Taxodium distichum, the sparse forest landscape of green tropical lawn in Tian Ping, the ecological landscape of birds casting herons in the forest and swimming in Lianxiang Lake, the lotus summer scene of Lianxiang Lake, the tropical water lily winter scene of Jingyi Lake, the Wang Lian reflecting the sun lake, and vivid plant modeling. The layout of aquatic plants in lakes and marshes, such as lotus, is decorated with some floating flowers such as water lilies according to the size and certain scale of the water surface, which is reflected in the water, adding a sense of hierarchy and enriching the water space. Aquatic flowers such as water lily, Wang Lian and Zizania latifolia are also planted in accordance with the principles of single planting, cluster planting and group planting. Parks, banks and islands also arrange plant landscapes in spring, summer, autumn and winter according to different seasons: flowers go to Qiu Lai in spring, and there are landscapes in hot Xia Dong. Praise peach blossoms and willows in spring, beautiful hibiscus in summer, thin sequoia in autumn and red water lilies in winter. In addition, many flowering and fruiting trees are planted in the park, which provides a rich food source for the birds in the park. Wandering among the clear water and green trees in the park, intoxicated by the ecological environment of lakes and islands, I feel the scenery is pleasant.

Lotus is the brand of Honghu Park. There are more than 200 species and varieties of aquatic flowers such as lotus, water lily and Wang Lian in the park, which is an important landscape material of the park waterscape. Among them, Huang Lian, Dasa Brocade, Jade Bowl, Nverhong, Yizhangqing, Nanhongji, Andrias, Egyptian Blue Water Lily, Jinzhan and Lian Hongjian, which are prone to lotus flowers, are the rarest. In addition, there are dozens of aquatic flowers such as water arrowroot, yellow rush and papyrus. At present, park researchers have propagated these rare plants sexually or asexually, protected their resources and promoted them.

Over the years, Honghu Park has built a strong lotus culture atmosphere relying on the lotus brand. Holding a lotus exhibition is a tradition in Honghu Park. Since 1989 the first lotus show, it has been the eighteenth. In particular, 1998 successfully held the 9th National Holland Exhibition, with 42 participating provinces and cities, which was rich in content, large in scale and far-reaching. In recent years, Honghu Park has also held various exhibitions such as lotus culture, lotus popular science knowledge, lotus calligraphy and painting, lotus flower arrangement, lotus crafts, stamps, etc., built lotus monuments, and published monographs such as Lotus Gallery Collection and Lotus and Modern Aquatic Flowers, which have increased the cultural connotation of the lotus exhibition and are well received by the people and professionals. Nowadays, people love, admire and praise lotus flowers, express their feelings and praise honesty, which has promoted the construction of spiritual civilization in the SAR.

According to the needs of development, the overall planning of Honghu Park has been adjusted this year, aiming at making the park construction more reasonable, more perfect, more distinctive, and more scale and grade. At present, the park is striving to build a modern city park with "three advantages and two highs" (that is, beautiful environment, excellent facilities, excellent service, high efficiency and good benefits).

Honghu Park is not only a lotus-themed park, but also a happy paradise for birds. In order to allow birds to breed and survive better, the Park Management Office named an island in the park "Birds in the Forest", forbidding anyone to enter the island to disturb birds, and many birds settled on the island. The park has also set up a bird-watching platform, where you can enjoy the birds happily foraging and playing. Beautiful park, where citizens live in harmony with trees, flowers and birds.
