2.Xiangshan Art Commune
Stepping out of the oil painting world, immerse yourself in the artistic conception of the Southern landscape painting "Clear and Remote View of Streams and Mountains." Xiangshan Art Commune embodies the elegant qualities of Jiangnan's landscapes, with clean-lined white buildings forming a "city in the sky." In this artistic community where nature and village intersect, designers have created a "never-ending art carnival."
3.Huang Gongwang's Retreat
In Fuyang, it's essential to visit Huang Gongwang's retreat where he spent his final years. The scenic area consists of Huang Gongwang Cultural Town, Memorial Hall, his dwelling place, and a subtropical botanical garden - the actual location depicted in the famous "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains." Walking along bamboo-lined stone paths, encountering stone houses in dense forests, surrounded by lush vegetation and beautiful landscapes, provides spiritual healing.
4. Fuyang Water Sports Center
The Water Sports Center will host rowing and canoeing (including flatwater and slalom) competitions and training. The venue's design draws inspiration from the landscape forms in "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains." The main structure mimics mountain undulations, and the landscape adjacent to the North Branch River uses flowing paving lines to express water culture. The night view is particularly spectacular, with a 30-meter-high water screen combined with special lighting effects on both banks of the North Branch River creating an impressive sight.

Along the Rive
Taking the Grand Canal Asian Games Park as the final destination, experience the ancient and modern charm of the Grand Canal along the way.
-
1. Xiaohe Park
Visit this new landmark along the canal to explore how the industrial character of the canal oil storage buildings seamlessly integrates with the surrounding environment. Circular openings were carved into the original oil tanks, rusty steel forms wave-like red walls, and open warehouses were transformed into "floating pavilions with flowered steps." Designers used light and transparent elements to soften the original heavy rigidity, turning Xiaohe Park into a leisure destination that combines waterfront public space with garden-style cultural areas.

This therapeutic slow-living old street features wharves connected to local residents' past lives, century-old workshops preserving ancient charm, and fresh artistic boutiques, allowing people to return to a leisurely pace and quietly experience life along the canal.
3. Grand Canal Music Park
The massive terrace inspired by canal transport boats and the huge "piano stairs" connecting the entire park are direct architectural expressions of "canal" and "music" elements. You can enjoy the magnificent view of the thousand-year-old canal from the top terrace, appreciate art spaces in the sunken open plaza, and occasionally encounter musical performances and themed shows.
4.Grand Canal Asian Games Park
The journey concludes at the Grand Canal Asian Games Park, divided into north and south sections. The north features an intangible cultural heritage "oil paper umbrella" design housing table tennis and breaking competitions, while the south showcases an enlarged "jade cong" design for field hockey matches. Besides the sunken commercial street and sports areas, it connects to surrounding water systems, lawn plazas, and scenic flower fields, allowing people to enjoy natural scenery while engaging in sports.

Riverside Rhythm.
Feel the breeze from the Qiantang River and watch how the "Lotus" blooms.

1.Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium
The first stop heads straight to the main venue of the Hangzhou Asian Games on the south bank of the Qiantang River, also known as the "Big Lotus," composed of 28 large petals and 27 small petals. The spaces between the petals resemble the scenic windows in traditional Chinese architecture; the dynamic and graceful design draws inspiration from Hangzhou silk patterns and romance; the building's form originates from the dynamics of the Qiantang River, as if blooming in the river breeze.
