Tourism Characteristics of Bund Square in Kowloon

"Hydrophilicity" is the basic orientation of Bund Square. It is not only located near the Yangtze River, but also adopts dry spraying technology in the square to enhance the "hydrophilicity" and interaction of citizens. According to reports, dry spraying technology was first applied to square design in our district. More than 900 sprinklers were installed in the square. Except for the central fountain, all other fountains adopt dry spraying technology. The sprinkler is buried under the stone, and the water is sprayed from the hole of the stone. Most of the water flows directly to the special drainage ditch for recycling. This design not only brings a "hydrophilic" experience to the public, but also increases the activity area of the square when the fountain is closed.

There is a circular fountain pool in the center of the square, with an inner diameter of16m and an outer diameter of 24m. Four pillars will be built in the center of the pool to carry the "Kowloon Pearl Sculpture". According to the relevant person in charge of the soil storage center, this sculpture design was inspired by the historical record and description of "nine stones like a dragon". It adopts the trend of encirclement of Kowloon and incorporates traditional and decorative carving techniques to show the bustling scene of "Kowloon soaring and competing for beauty". After the sculpture is finished, it weighs more than 40 tons. Nine faucets are combined with water spraying technology, and the top of the sculpture is shaped like a hollow ball, which means dragon playing with pearls and dazzling. There are also nearly a thousand colored lights in the swimming pool and square. At night, under the illumination of lights, it reflects the elegance and exquisiteness of Dragon Ball and the totem symbol of Ba culture.

In front of the central fountain pool is a fan-shaped dry jet, surrounded by several groups of water columns arranged from low to high, extending from the fountain to the square. On both sides of the central fountain pool, there is a "just visited" composed of dry sprays. Each dry spray consists of nine dry sprays with the same height and inclination, arranged in a row. When the fountain is opened, all the fountains spray water at the center of the square, reflecting the sculpture of the Pearl of Kowloon. About 50 meters from the central fountain to the left of the square is the sinking square, which is more than 4 meters above the ground. It is understood that it will be connected with the flat street ground through arc stairs and hand elevators. Further to the left is Pearl Square, where big trees are planted, seats are built around the tree pool, and dozens of animal benches carved with stones are placed. According to reports, from the Pearl Square to the basement of the central fountain pool, there are nearly 65,438+10,000 square meters, and it is planned to build a business and leisure area.

Go right from the central fountain and you will see a circular wedding lawn square. According to reports, the square refers to the design scheme of Hyde Park in Britain. The green grass on the lawn is the same as that on the golf course. The whole lawn sinks 25 cm, surrounded by two stone steps, and there is a row of 72.3-meter-long arc stone railings in front of the square, which is not only safe and beautiful, but also has the function of sitting on a stool. Against the backdrop of Little Square, the whole Bund hydrophilic square looks atmospheric and dignified. It is understood that the second floor of the Bund Waterfront Plaza covers an area of 46,935 square meters, with more than 300 parking spaces 1.300 and two garage entrances and exits, which will solve the problem of parking and smooth traffic on the Bund. At present, the garage entrance on the south side of the square has been completed, which can directly reach the first and second floors of the parking garage, mainly solving the problem that vehicles from Yangjiaping can park in the warehouse; In the second half of the year, the underground garage connecting passage of Jiubin Road will be built in the northwest corner of the square, and vehicles coming from Caiyuanba can directly enter the negative second-floor garage from here.

On the waterfront square on the Bund, there are nine passages connecting the underground and Heping Street floors. According to reports, the nine exits will match the overall image of the square and put on artistic "hats". In order to maintain the overall effect of the square and facilitate citizens' leisure, all bathrooms are located on the first floor of the library. Walking into the waterfront square on the Bund, you will feel that you have entered a stone carving exhibition hall. Stools and trash cans carved with stones can be seen everywhere in the waterfront square on the Bund, with rich shapes, such as frogs, owls, Mickey Mouse, children playing and other stone stools. On both sides of a path in the south of the square, there are stone benches of the zodiac. Animal stone carvings have different expressions and movements and are lifelike. It is understood that fish scale stone carvings will also be placed on the square to highlight the artistry and hydrophilicity of the square.

There are six stone speaker lamp posts on both sides of the central fountain, each with an area of 4 square meters and a height of 4.5 meters, and 36 colored lights are designed on the bottom seats respectively. On the wall of the stone light box, there is an auspicious cloud relief with the word "nine" in the middle. It is reported that this relief symbolizes "Kowloon takes off". At present, the frame of stone speaker lamp post has been completed, and projects such as stone and lighting are under construction. Most of the lighting system, monitoring system and background music of the square supporting facilities have been completed. In the Bund hydrophilic square, the reporter saw trees standing upright and green grass. According to reports, the greening work of the Bund Waterfront Plaza began in mid-May. After more than 40 days of fighting, 48 tree ponds with a width of 2.6 meters, 32 tree ponds with a width of 1.2 meters, 1 tree ponds with a width of 6 meters and1tree ponds with a diameter of 5 meters have been built, and stone benches have been set up with the help of kerbs around the tree ponds.

Four Cinnamomum camphora with nine heads were planted on both sides of the central fountain, and one Cinnamomum camphora with nine heads and two osmanthus trees were planted in front of it. Green trees surround the central fountain, echoing the dragons carved by the Pearl of Kowloon. It is understood that the second phase of the Bund Waterfront Plaza is mainly to prevent landscape transformation. The plot is 325 meters long and 24 meters wide. According to the topography and supporting facilities around the square, the second phase of the project plans to build a "waterfront leisure corridor" and build a commercial facade to provide citizens with a river-watching, hydrophilic and leisure cultural corridor. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the construction, the second phase of the Bund hydrophilic square project will start in autumn after the flood season in the Yangtze River.

On the right side of the Bund hydrophilic square is Egongyan Community Park. It is understood that the park covers an area of more than 8,000 square meters and has relatively complete supporting facilities. After the completion of the Bund hydrophilic square, it will be connected with it next year, expanding and supplementing the area and greening of the Bund square, forming the largest riverside park in our region.
