——No matter how small an individual is, it can become a brand——
People who like to travel around the ancient town have a trace of romance, and always want to place those quiet nostalgia among the decaying carved beams and painted pillars.
Tianguang,
The ground is wide,
Autumn is autumn...
- Kobayashi Kazucha
"This World Is as Short as Dew"
🍂
It stands there,
It's hard to fill the craze.
A single tree fell for half a fall.
——Li Juan, "Golden"
Almost everyone is happy to praise autumn. When you marvel at the high ground of the autumn clouds, and are obsessed with the mottled scenery left by the four seasons on the leaves, you also become one of the autumn poets.
The strong autumn mood is also a veritable "gift of nature". Did you just return from autumn in the countryside last weekend? Have you been going to the park or the wilderness significantly more these days? If going outdoors and in the wilderness is a defection to a routine life, then choosing to soak up in a city park is the smallest price in exchange for the same frequency of our long-term dysfunctional nerves and natural rhythms due to the post-industrial era. Visiting the park is to reawaken the wildness of "natural man" in our body, and to accept that we are part of heaven and earth, the four seasons, and all things.
Let's go to the park! Let's go to the park!

Hampstead Wilderness
and Primrose Blossom Mountain
HAMPSTEAD HEATH
/ PRIMROSE HILL
01
📍 London, United Kingdom
Two of London's most liveable places, Hampstead and Primrose Hill, also have some of the best parks in town. Hampstead Wilderness is one of London's most famous natural attractions, and Londoners like to call it The Heath ("Wilderness"). It's so big, so wild, it's not so much a park as it is in the countryside of Surrey or Hertfordshire. Owned and operated by the City of London, it has large tracts of gorse and meadows, as well as fairly steep slopes. Bicycles are not allowed in the park and are always crowded with joggers.
Hampstead Wilderness
Primrose Blossom Mountain
In contrast, Primrose Hill is smaller in size, and it is managed by the Royal Park along with the Regent's Park next door. It's a great location overlooking central London and a romantic sunset. On days when there is occasional snowfall, skiers always try their luck at Mt. Primrose Blossom. And one more thing: with one of London's most expensive residential areas nearby, it's possible to see the super-rich and celebrities strolling around the Hampstead Wilderness or Primrose Hill.
Edward VII Park
PARQUE EDUARDO VII
02
📍 Lisbon, Portugal
The Estufa Fria Conservatory is a hidden delight in the chaotic city of Lisbon. It is the main attraction of Eduardo VII Park, a fascinating world of greenery, lakes and quirky architecture. It is also the lungs of the city and has been caring for a wide variety of plants such as cacti and arrowroot for hundreds of years.
In 2020, Belgian artist Nicolas Llamas had planned to install the sculpture "The Illusion of Stability" here. The work reflects on the fragility of human existence, the inability to control the world the way we think we are. As a result, this high-tech work was destroyed by a storm before its debut, bringing a hint of fatalism.
Also, don't forget the Eduardo VII Park, which offers stunning views of Lisbon, a tennis center and interesting hedge planting. They all seem to confirm the fact that Lisbon is the 2020 European Green Capital. Cross the pedestrian bridge at the northern end and you'll see the charming Fauvist Palais de Justice.
Parc de la Villette
PARC DE LA VILLETTE
03
📍 Paris, France
Stroll along the Canal d'Orc in the sun, past trendy cafés, to the Parc de la Villette, which is once home to a former slaughterhouse. It is one of the few extra-large parks in the city of Paris and one of the most concentrated cultural pavilions in Paris, home to Europe's largest science museum, the Cité d'Industrie des Sciences et Industrie, three concert halls and the prestigious Conservatoire Nationale Supérieure de Musique de Paris.
The park was built using the post-structuralist ideas of the French deconstructivist and philosopher Jacques Derrida and put into practice by architect Peter Eisenman. As a result, Parc de la Villette is unique even in the world. Its personality and surrealist demeanor have long been deeply imprinted in people's minds.
English Garden
ENGLISH GARDENS
04
📍Munich.
When visiting Munich, you will inevitably come to the historic English Garden. It is larger than Central Park and is one of the largest urban parks in Europe. The park's meadows and oak trees are of epic quality that would have led urbanites to mistakenly think Kubrick was filming Barry Lindon here.
The peculiarity of this park is that surfers can surf on the waves of the Isar tributary. There are also sedimentary islands in the stream that allow visitors to paddle and enjoy picnics. Don't be surprised if you see a lot of cooking utensils on the park's land on summer afternoons with fluffy meat stewed in them, after all, it's an old German tradition.

Ibirabuera Park
IBIRAPUERA PARK
01
📍 Sao Paulo, Brazil
Ibirapuera Park is the green lung of São Paulo. Opened to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the founding of São Paulo, the park offers a much-needed breathing space in one of the world's largest metropolises.
Designed by Oscar Niemeyer and Roberto Burle Marx, the park's lawns and tropical trees are a feast of modern architecture and culture, including the Museum of Modern Art in São Paulo, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Afro-Brazilian Museum, the Planetarium, the Biennale, the Japan Pavilion, and Niemeyer's later design of the Ibirapuera Auditorium, which looks like a giant wedge, The red tongue protrudes defiantly from the front, ready to lick a passing giant.
Central Park
CENTRAL PARK
02
📍 New York, USA
While there is no shortage of avant-garde parks in the world, Central Park does set a standard for the rest of the world. It's hard to imagine that in New York, where land is at a premium, the heart of Manhattan could sacrifice such a large area of land at an incalculable price to give way to urban greenery for real estate developers, which is completely out of line with the American spirit.
Regardless, Central Park today is one of the most popular urban parks in the world. In 2020 alone, the number of visitors to the park reached 42 million. People do a variety of activities here such as walking, jogging, practicing baseball. The ice skating rink and Lasker pool offer opportunities for water and ice sports.
Of course, you can also choose to borrow the surrounding buildings as observation decks to overlook this rectangular green giant. Among them, the Guggenheim Museum on Fifth Avenue is one of the best places to see it.

Fort Canning Park
FORT CANNING PARK
01
📍Singapore.
Fort Canning Park is a quintessential Singapore park. First of all, it's full of interesting sights that bear witness to history, including a "war room" from the end of World War II and a replica of the Doge's Palace. The latter was originally the residence of Stamford Raffles, one of the founders of modern Singapore, and its location allowed it to overlook the entire city.
Raffles is an avid botanist and passionate about horticultural experiments. Today, Fort Canning Park still has a well-preserved experimental garden with nutmeg, cloves, sugar cane and tea trees. There are also many exotic fruit trees around the park, as well as a lake.
Houtan Park
HOUTAN PARK
02
📍 Shanghai, China
Whether parks are good or bad for the environment is still a matter of debate. Parks protect land from development and provide space for a variety of flora and fauna to thrive. However, they are also inherently unnatural habitats that require enormous expense to carefully manage and maintain, and sometimes even beat the "real" natural world.
In Shanghai's Houtan Park, people have made a conscious adjustment to try to create an ecologically-based park system. It is in line with the vision set out by the landscape architects at the Shanghai World Expo: a riverside park that can purify 600,000 litres of sewage per day, while using natural means to actively promote biodiversity (more than 90 species of plants and more than 200 species of animals) and absorb carbon from the air. The park is planted with reeds, bamboo, and redwoods, with the addition of sunflowers and traditional terraced gardens with seasonal plants, as well as large industrial-style metal structures that recall the site's time as a steel mill, dock, and garbage dump.
Seoul Sky Garden
SEOULLO 7017 SKYPARK
03
📍Seoul.
Seoullo 7017, or Seoul Sky Garden, is an interesting attempt to repurpose instead of demolish. This elevated linear park was formerly a highway overpass. Now, similar to New York's High Line, the one-kilometer-long path is lined with 24,000 plants. Although there is still a gap in the greenery compared to a regular park, you can still find everything you would expect from a park, such as floral landscapes, benches, pavilions, and nooks to explore.
The design team responsible for the Sky Gardens in Seoul is a well-known MVRDV in the industry, who simply made a very simple alteration of the original old overpass to give the city's residents a place to stroll, relax and meet. There is reason to believe that such parks will become more popular around the world in the future.

Africa
Table Mountain Conservation Area
TABLE MOUNTAIN RESERVE
01
📍 Cape Town, South Africa
The tranquil beauty of Table Mountain and its peaks makes Cape Town unique among all cities in the world. This reserve is a park, but also a real mountain that can be climbed in person or by cable car. Standing at the top of a hill, when the clouds clear, you may be wondering where to keep your gaze: the adorable daisies everywhere or the Cape Town cityscape slowly unfolding below.
It's also a paradise for botanical lovers: from neon flowers to cape daisies, there are more than 2,000 different plants and flowers. Also, don't ignore the animals, such as porcupines, mongooses and caracals. It's a truly wild feeling that it's hard to believe, and it's only ten minutes from the city centre of one of South Africa's largest cities.

Australia
Yarra Valley Park
YARRA VALLEY PARKLANDS
01
📍 Melbourne, Australia
On the banks of the Yarra River, east of Melbourne's city centre, there are plenty of parklands. Sport is a consistent theme here. These lawns stretch from Yarra Parklands to one of the largest cricket pitches in the world, home to the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground (also known as 'G'), where the Boxing Day Test, the famous test match of cricket, is held every year, and the whole country sits around the TV watching the athletes sweat it out.
Cross the Yarra River and you'll find the Rod Laver Arena, which hosts the Australian Open. Nearby it is the AAMI Park Stadium, where several teams from the Rugby League and the Melbourne City football team play. Alexandra Gardens has a variety of rowing clubs and a skate park along the river, attracting a lot of runners and cyclists. In addition, you can see Australians who are keen to wake up early and do their morning exercises, gathering on these grassy fields every morning to practice yoga.
botanical garden
BOTANIC GARDENS
02
📍 Wellington, New Zealand
Perched on a hill in New Zealand's capital, this elegant park overlooks the charming city and the ever-sweet life in it. You can choose to take the cable car to the top of the mountain, or you can go for a morning jog like many people.
The park is home to many things to see, including artwork by Henry Moore and Dennis O'Connor, planet-observant Carter Observatory, Begonia House filled with exotic plants, and the Lady Norwood Rose Garden for rose lovers. In addition, the planting area with cacti, succulents and aloe vera, as well as a large number of conifers, provides a good place for a picnic.
