It can be said that the use of sculpture landscape design of Noah's Ark makes an ordinary and lifeless area full of cultural connotation.

Four. An art complex with sculptures as its attraction

In Oslo, the capital of Norway, there is a sculpture park called Vigeland. The sculptor Gustav Vigeland spent 20 years creating 192 sculptures.

This park covers an area of ??480 acres and is open to tourists free of charge. There are 192 sculptures in the park, all of which were independently completed by a sculptor named Gustav Vigeland.

The most attractive thing in the park is the statues that can be seen everywhere that reflect human sympathy: newly delivered babies, young men and women holding hands, couples showing love and quarreling... Group sculptures show people various aspects of human life, and we even see ourselves reflected in them.

The Vigeland Sculpture Park is a successful art complex that uses sculpture landscape design as its iconic attraction. The work of one man brought together here becomes the unique quality of the park. Thus, a tourism environment with sculpture landscape as the main body can be formed. In fact, sculptures can also be carved on the walls of some highways, because this can better reflect the beauty and culture of a city. For example, we in Chongqing also do a good job in sculpture. In many places in Chongqing, there are many sculptures carved on both sides of the highway, which look very beautiful.
