Donjongdong District plan establishes an iconic getaway for an Eco-City development situated across the Qiantang River from central Hangzhou and creates a destination for commercial offices, cultural center and series of outdoor facilities that celebrate the Qiantang River and the Signogduanzhi River to the east within site.
The plan arranges a grouping of high-rise towers that rise in height to culminate in two signature towers framing either side of the freeway as it enters the District. Surrounding these towers are low-rise park areas with water features, garden offices and retail uses linked by underground retail concourses. A major feature of the plan is a large park area that extends the full north-south length of the site along the eastern edge of the Qiantang River. This parkland is strategically divided into different uses including; public parks featuring a series of islands accessed by pedestrian bridges; farmland preserve area; and natural wetlands area.
