Why is Guilin, as a tourist city, unable to see a single high-rise building in the urban area?

Because of the regulations of the city government, it seems that the construction floor cannot exceed six floors and cannot block the scenic spot.

Because of Guilin’s unique scenery, thousands of people come to Guilin every year. In order to allow tourists to see Guilin’s beautiful scenery in the urban area, the city government specially stipulates , the building cannot exceed six floors and cannot block the scenery.

Therefore, this means that there are no very high floors in Guilin. In addition, due to some regulatory restrictions, Guilin's urban service facilities are very aging and the construction speed cannot keep up.

Actually, I think it is due to reputation. Think about it, if a person who grew up hearing that "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" would only see high-rise buildings and construction everywhere when he came to Guilin. Do you still like the scene?

I think we should spare one or two years to improve some supporting facilities in the urban area, such as narrow roads. Take a good rest and I believe more people will fall in love with Guilin.

I published an article about Guilin some time ago. At that time, a reader left a message saying that "Guilin's urban construction is backward and there are not many high-rise buildings." Indeed, from the air, the buildings in Guilin are not very tall. Even amid the skyscraper craze across the country, when cities continue to increase building heights, Guilin has not changed much. Currently, the tallest building is only 188 meters. Why doesn’t Guilin build those super high-rise buildings? I think, on the one hand, the reason is administrative control, and on the other hand, it is related to the geological structure of Guilin.

Guilin is a well-known tourist city and a famous historical and cultural city at home and abroad. The city is surrounded by peaks of different shapes, with beautiful scenery, charming and quiet. In order to protect Guilin's unique natural landscape, as early as the 1980s, the State Council emphasized in the Guilin City Master Plan that "all construction must be coordinated with the landscape" and "the height, volume, color, and Make specific regulations on styling, etc. and strictly manage them.” Indeed, Guilin is a small city embedded in the scenery. What it is most proud of is its landscape. Too many and too tall buildings will block the view and will inevitably destroy the complete natural beauty. Guilin is not the only city that imposes height restrictions on urban buildings. In China, all buildings in the ancient city of Suzhou are restricted to a height limit of 24 meters. In foreign cities, new buildings cannot be higher than certain landmark buildings. Although Guilin does not clearly stipulate the height limit for buildings, buildings in the main urban area abide by this unwritten agreement. When approving new projects, the government must also fully consider factors that are in harmony with the surrounding scenery, focusing on protecting the mountains and rivers. This is how Guilin's The old city basically maintains relatively low buildings.

Guilin’s unique geological structure not only creates beautiful scenery, but also increases the difficulty and danger of construction of super high-rise buildings. Guilin is a typical karst landform with complex geological conditions, abundant underground caves, and surging undercurrents, which are extremely unfavorable for pile foundation construction. Therefore, we have seen that building high-rise buildings in karst landform areas is far more complicated than in plain areas, with a height of only 76.8 meters. The total number of underground piers in the Entrepreneurship Building reached 1,254. For inexperienced construction units, it is difficult to complete the work of building high-rise buildings on karst terrain. In addition, Guilin’s urban population ratio is not high. As a tourist city, it does not have a large migrant population like the industrial city of Liuzhou, so the city’s demand for high-rise buildings is not large. Building high-rise buildings in Guilin seems to be a high-input, low-output project, which is not a wise move.

With the development of the times and the continuous expansion of the city, Guilin has also taken many new measures. While many locals or outsiders are still criticizing Guilin's urban construction, the Guilin Municipal Government has also made adjustments to its urban planning. On the one hand, the central government's opinions on Guilin's urban planning no longer emphasize "height", but require "protecting the urban pattern and natural landscape of Guilin's two rivers and four lakes." On the other hand, Guilin is like many cities. , while protecting the old city and building a new urban area, many high-rise projects have also been located in the new city, such as some residential projects, hotel projects, and commercial projects, which in some ways add to Guilin's modern metropolitan atmosphere.

I am a "conservative" and do not want excessive urban development to destroy the original natural environment. However, I also don’t want the local people to be unable to enjoy the conveniences brought by modernization in order to remain “original”. Therefore, I still support the construction of high-rise buildings in Guilin's new urban areas. I just hope that during the construction, protection will be strengthened so that Guilin's landscape can still maintain its original charm.

If you have any questions about Sri Lanka, you are welcome to ask me. I am "the person who knows best about Lanka travel": a Sri Lankan girl.

1. Guilin’s geological conditions are not suitable for building high-rise buildings. Guilin has a karst landform with many caves.

2. The number of high-rise buildings in a city reflects the level of economic development of the city.

3. The architecture of a city is closely related to the city’s overall economic development positioning. Guilin’s landscape is unmatched in the world, and tourism is the highlight. Too many high-rise buildings will destroy humanity and nature, making the city lack character.

Guilin has such beautiful natural scenery, why do we need to build high-rise buildings! With such beautiful natural scenery, walking into Guilin makes people perfectly integrated with nature, without worries, only happiness!

There are high-rise buildings in Guilin, but there are few high-rise buildings in the old city of Guilin. There are many high-rise buildings in Lingui New District, which is under development. If you have time, you can go and take a look.

Guilin has a karst landform. The saying "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" attracts countless Chinese and foreign tourists. Because of Guilin's unique scenery, thousands of people come to Guilin every year to travel. In order to make Guilin beautiful The scenery is not blocked by high-rise buildings, so the city government specifically stipulated that the building should not exceed six floors and could not block the scenery. So this also leads to the fact that there are no very high floors in Guilin.

The incident originated from the high-rise Mandarin Hotel under construction in Guilin in 1986, which violated the city's master plan, destroyed the environmental landscape, and hindered the protection of Guilin's landscape and cultural relics. Various parties reacted strongly to this and requested the state to stop it. The leading comrades of the State Council have instructed that this illegal practice should be corrected immediately. Leaders of the State Council pointed out that the planning, construction and management of cities and scenic spots is a science and cannot be done based on subjective wishes. For world-famous key scenic spots and historical and cultural cities like Guilin, we must listen more to the opinions of experts and the general public, and implement the urban master plan approved by the State Council so that Guilin's landscape will no longer suffer man-made damage.

Combining the above two points is the reason why there are no high-rise buildings in the old town of Guilin. If you want to see tall buildings in Guilin, you can go to Lingui New District.

The karst landform is not suitable for building high-rise buildings. There are many underground rivers and caves. In addition, there are many scenic spots in the city center, and high-rise buildings block the scenery.

I feel that the subtext of the question raised by the question is: Only if a city has many high-rise buildings does it mean that it is a developed city, or that it is a fast-developing and dynamic city, like Shenzhen and Shanghai Pudong. In fact, this is a false proposition. The height of a city's floors is only related to the city's positioning, the city's urban planning and whether the city is suitable for building high-rise buildings. It cannot simply be measured by the number of high-rise buildings. The level of development, but now most people think that the number of high-rise buildings represents the speed and level of development of the city.

Beijing should be the most developed city in China and the political, economic and cultural center of the country. However, there are no high-rise buildings within the Third Ring Road in Beijing, and efforts are being made to preserve the courtyard houses with only one floor. Regardless of the layout of these courtyards, The living facilities are still incomparable with high-rise buildings, but it is the business card of Beijing, synonymous with Beijing, and has a high reputation around the world. Many foreigners come here to walk through the alleys and see the courtyard houses, so not only are they not allowed to be built within the third ring road, High-rise, and still protecting the courtyard.

Qufu in Shandong Province is the hometown of Confucius, the birthplace of Chinese Confucianism and a famous tourist city in China. However, Qufu in Shandong Province positions it as an ancient city with traditional Chinese Confucian culture. There are basically no high-rise buildings in the city. , and all buildings, whether new or old, adopt ancient architectural styles. Only when walking in such an urban environment can you appreciate the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture.

In Western developed countries, except for high-rise buildings in a few areas, low-rise buildings actually account for the vast majority. The reason why high-rise buildings are mushrooming in China is because on the one hand, many government officials regard the construction of high-rise buildings as a political achievement and desperately compete for urban heights. Another reason is that land in China is getting more and more expensive, and real estate developers are building higher and higher buildings in order to obtain higher profits.

Guilin is also a famous tourist city in China. It is famous for its landscapes and has the reputation of being the best in the world. Therefore, it is very correct for the municipal government to make such a regulation. If high-rise buildings block the scenery of Guilin, Mountains and water, that is Guilin's failure. Its meaning of existence has become nothing more than a reinforced concrete jungle. No matter how high-rise buildings Guilin builds, it cannot compare with Pudong and Shenzhen.

Now the country has fully discovered the problem of over-construction of high-rise buildings, especially super-high-rise buildings in various places, and has ordered various places to ban the construction of super-high-rise buildings. Too many high-rise buildings have a great impact on the functions of cities. It causes serious light pollution and unstable air flow, and also presents great difficulties in facing natural disasters such as fires and earthquakes. Therefore, the Guilin government’s regulations should be supportive and understanding.

Guilin is a city without high-rise buildings. The reasons are: 1. Guilin is a typical karst landform (also called "karst landform"). This geological structure does not allow the construction of high-rise buildings; 2. Guilin is a tourist city famous for its mountains and rivers. The mountains within its territory are not very high in altitude. Building tall buildings will block the view and affect tourists' enjoyment of Guilin's mountains and rivers.

Guilin’s topography is dominated by karst. It once fascinated everyone with the song “Guilin’s landscape is the best in the world”. Guilin's landscape scenery is very charming, attracting many travel enthusiasts.

Guilin’s Zhengyang Pedestrian Street is adjacent to the Li River in the east, the central square in the west, Shanhu Scenic Area in the south, and Guilin Royal City in the north. It is the first pedestrian street in Guilin to be constructed using market financing and commercial operations. A commercial pedestrian street integrating tourism, leisure and shopping functions, it is also the first real pedestrian street in the history of Guilin. It is also an ancient street with thousands of years of history.

Nowadays, Guilin is different from the past and has gradually taken on a modern look. For example, the tallest building in Guilin - the Guilin Financial Building is 137 meters high, and the Harvard Center on Bali Street is 101 meters high. The emergence of these high-rise buildings has added to Guilin's Full of metropolitan temperament.

It is said that in order to prevent the beautiful landscape from being blocked, a rigid rule was made that the building height should not exceed 24 meters. Especially on both sides of the Li River, the supervision of floors is very strict. Therefore, after entering the old city of Guilin, many tourists from all over the country couldn't help but sigh when they looked at the low and slightly old buildings, narrow roads, and the not-so-fashionable and prosperous Guilin street scene: How does this match my imagination of the landscape? The gap between Guilin and Guilin is so huge!

Guilin is a typical karst landform with rich groundwater resources and fully developed caves and underground rivers. This kind of geography and landform is not suitable for building high-rise buildings. Just laying the foundation is a big problem. There are caves everywhere. How much cement should be filled to solidify the foundation? It's not worth it in terms of cost. In addition, the dense density of high-rise buildings will block the beautiful natural scenery and affect Guilin's charm of "no mountains, no water, no enchantment". Therefore, the floor height limit is understandable.

Guilin has the gentleness and kindness of Xiaojiabiyu, which is not suitable for being dressed up as a modern girl with heavy makeup. Guilin's economy is underdeveloped, with a single industry and over-reliance on tourism, which to a certain extent also affects the height of urban construction. What suits you is the best. If you don’t have high-rise buildings, you have to use your brains on architectural form and aesthetics. Ethnic style, European style, garden style, and retro style can all be used for reference. Coupled with the unique and unique beauty in the world, Guilin can be built to be beautiful and unique without having to compete with skyscrapers.

Some people think that only high-rise buildings can represent the prosperity of a city. Today's Lingui New District in Guilin has row upon row of high-rise buildings, wide and smooth roads, and the prototype of a modern city is ready to emerge. If the renovation of the old city can reach a higher level, and tradition and modernity coexist harmoniously, a new Guilin will soon reveal its unparalleled beauty to the world.

Because Guilin is a national five-star tourist attraction, high-rise buildings will block part of the scenic area, so the design and layout require the floors to be low to pursue coordination. , the floors are not high...
