Hubei and Wuhan are known as "the province of a thousand lakes" and "the city of a hundred lakes" throughout the country, such as the bright pearl embedded in the "Sand Lake" in the center of Wuhan, adjacent to the Hanjie commercial district, close to the provincial party committee and provincial government, with more than 300,000 residents within a radius of kilometers, comparable to the "Central Park" of New York, and has become a new landmark of Wuhan urban leisure. However, with the economic and social development, Shahu Park is far from being able to meet the needs of the public's life and leisure, urban contradictions are increasingly exposed, environmental problems are becoming more prominent, and it is urgent to comprehensively transform and upgrade.
Hubei Yangtze River International Chamber of Commerce and relevant organizations, actively for Wuhan suggestions, contribute to the organization, they convened a group of experts and scholars and related people, after multi-party research and field investigation, recently, submitted to the Wuhan Municipal People's Government "on the comprehensive transformation of Shahu Park to build a Chinese version of the "Central Park" proposal", has been the mayor of Wuhan Cheng Yongwen attaches great importance to him, he and the deputy mayor in charge Of Chen Jinchao personally made instructions, requiring the relevant departments to read and implement.
In their recommendations, they pointed out that There are the following "pain" points in Shahu Park:
One is that you can't get in. There are only 2 parking lots in the park, with less than 200 parking spaces, and it is full all year round. During peak hours such as weekends and holidays, one is hard to find, and public transportation can only reach parts of the area and is a long walk. The parking lot of the current park is not only unable to meet the parking needs of the public, but also unable to meet the needs of tourists.
Second, it is inconvenient to travel. First, the lake road is not penetrated, the park can not be like the West Lake by tour car to visit the park, walking around the lake takes more than 3 hours, and needs to cross the municipal road to visit, which greatly affects the park experience. Second, there are very few rain and shade facilities, wuhan has many high temperature and rainy seasons, there are few trees in the park, fewer buildings in the CDE area, and fewer rain and lightning protection facilities. Third, the park is narrow, and the tour line is single, and activities such as sightseeing, fitness and transportation are all gathered on a park road, which has great safety risks.
Third, it is not fun to play. There are not enough facilities for children to play. As the largest comprehensive park in the First Ring Road, there are only two children's play facilities in similar communities, and they are too simple and single. Physical fitness facilities are lacking. There are almost no fitness facilities and venues, which cannot meet the most basic functional needs of fitness and recreation in the park. Inadequate service packages. There are only two service rooms, and there are no supporting services such as tourist service centers and commercial service points. Water rides are yet to be developed. As a lake park in the city, it is a pity that the water cannot be close to the water, and there is no water amusement project.
Fourth, there is no surprise. There are no landmark buildings in the park, the "Ten Views of Shahu Lake" in the design is not real, the Shahu Park supreme viewpoint promoted to the outside world in the early days of the park, and the "Smoke and Rain Pavilion" that echoes the Yellow Crane Tower have not yet been started. There is a lack of ornamental landscapes with scale effects, a lack of distinctive "net red" attractions, and nearly 100 hectares of green space resources in the park that have not been fully utilized and developed.
Fifth, it cannot be retained. Citizens and tourists can "swim without swimming" for half an hour, even if they have a beautiful ecological environment, they will lose the interest of coming again. Especially for the residents living in the surrounding areas, the park has become an indispensable and important place of activity in life, but the infrastructure that cannot meet the needs has become a regret in everyone's heart.
In order to completely solve the above pain points and let citizens and tourists "come with pleasure and return home with pleasure", they put forward the following suggestions:
First, let the experts "plan the design". Adhere to the planning forerunner, invite well-known design teams at home and abroad to redesign the park as a whole, combine the development and management of the park with the surrounding needs and resources, carry out high-standard planning, high-level design, and high-quality construction, and create a new benchmark for the construction of Wuhan City Park with beautiful environment, complete functions, efficient management and first-class services, and wuhan's "Central Park".
Second, let the masses "come and go freely." Fully consider the needs of self-driving tourists, on the basis of not destroying the greenery, add parking lots in the park, you can introduce social resources, plan, design, construct and operate underground parking lots, and strengthen the instructions of Shahu Park on the surrounding road signs. Scientifically set up internal tour lines, widen roads, benchmark the West Lake, and realize the tour around the lake as soon as possible to facilitate travel and excursions.
Third, let the citizens "have fun". In response to the needs of tourists of different ages, increase children's play areas, youth science education venues, health and fitness areas for middle-aged and elderly people, develop water tourism projects, etc., moderately increase shopping points and management rooms in the park, increase the types of goods and services, and enrich the park experience.
Fourth, let tourists "enjoy it to the fullest". Create a landmark of Shahu Park, let the ten scenic spots of Shahu Lake and the "Smoke and Rain Pavilion" really land, strengthen the development and excavation of landscape scenery in the park, and increase the number of tourist points and leisure recreation points in areas with fewer internal attractions, so as to create an overlook viewing point and enrich the tour experience.
Fifth, let the park "keep up with the times." Intelligent and scientific and technological is the general trend of park leisure tourism, it is necessary to increase intelligent guided tours, intelligent science popularization, intelligent interactive experience projects, create a characteristic garden experience, realize intelligent management, improve park safety and management efficiency, and create a new benchmark for Wuhan park tourism.
