6.5-kilometer greenway to encircle Wuhan's Moon Lake; the most beautiful living room is set for a stunning transformation

Recently, many citizens passing by Moon Lake have noticed that parts of the area around Moon Lake have been fenced off. As a core section of the Yangtze River main axis, Moon Lake, known as the most beautiful living room of Wuhan, seems to be brewing something...

Good news has arrived!

A 6.5-kilometer greenway encircles Moon Lake

Wuhan's "most beautiful living room" is set for a stunning transformation!

Wuhan Moon Lake Park, located by Moon Lake in Hanyang District, Wuhan, is named after the ancient Quyue City. During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, the Han River changed its course, and its main flow merged into the Yangtze River north of Gui Mountain, leaving behind Moon Lake.

Moon Lake Park consists of five major landscapes around Moon Lake:

• The north shore is the cultural and arts center area;
• The south shore, adjacent to the ancient Guqin Terrace, is an open-air stage plaza that can accommodate 8,000-10,000 people;
• The east side is the Little Moon Lake Peninsula;
• The southwest side is close to Meizi Mountain.

The design theme of the Moon Lake landscape is to build a theme park that showcases the cultural and historical heritage of the Moon Lake area, integrates leisure and entertainment, and features charming natural scenery.

On the 11th, it was learned from the Moon Lake Scenic Area Management Office that in October, the Moon Lake Scenic Area will launch the landscape enhancement project, which is scheduled for completion in June next year.By then, an approximately 6.5-kilometer greenway will encircle Moon Lake, and 5 landscape nodes will provide resting spaces for citizens, completing the stunning transformation of Moon Lake, Wuhan's "most beautiful living room."

The reporter learned from the Wuhan Institute of Landscape Architecture Planning and Design, which is responsible for the project design, that the project aims to create a distinctive waterfront space of "ecology + culture," building a leisure path that winds through the mountainside, waterside, and forest, and a place for experiencing "finding a kindred spirit" and "hearing elegant music."

The greenway construction strives to meet ecological principles, selecting ecological permeable paving materials, and the route selection and renovation strive not to damage existing vegetation, choosing existing garden paths, linking multiple surrounding cultural points, and also adding waterfront greenways for close contact with the water.
