1.Project Background
Situated in the eastern part of Qian'an City, Hebei Province, the Red Folding Paper is part of Sanlihe Greenway, which is about 16-km long and covers an area of 800 hectares. The core concept of creating this greenway is to bring the ecological landscape of Sanlihe River, the mother river of Qian'an, back to the region. Running across the city, Sanlihe Greenway helps to catalyze the urban construction on both sides of the waterway. Implemented strategies include sewage and solid waste control, rainwater harvesting and maintaining for the constructed areas on both sides, water diversion from the upper reach of Luan River into the city center, planting along the greenway, which functions as an axis providing walkways and bicycle paths with recreational and art installations along the way.
