The site is located along Fuxi River in a hilly area of Sichuan between Chongqing and Chengdu. It currently consists of derelict housing on top of a steep unusable embankment along the river, and a road that separates the city from the water. The new landscape aims to enliven the waterfront by providing a striking place to connect the city back to the river through the provision of amenity space and identity.
