With the theme of interweaving green corridors around the city, exploring integration of urban and suburb areas, and stimulating the city’s peripheral vitality space, Longgang District will build the “New Municipal Administration” engineering model project and improve the urban environment in an all-round way for a high-quality city proper suitable for residence, industry and tourism. With conventional municipal public facilities along railway lines, fire passages, and urban roads, new highlights of urban space quality improvement lie in building a pleasant urban micro-environment through the power of design and application of “New Municipal Administration” idea! In such a case, the Bureau of Public Works of Longgang District will launch the first “New Municipal Administration” engineering projects, give full play to the advantages of Longgang’s ecological background, build a number of backbone ecological corridors, realize the interconnection of ecological way, green way and eco-corridors, and build the ecological picture of “blue interwoven into green surrounded by mountains and rivers”.
“Forest Affinity Program” is a key theme first proposed by the Bureau of Public Works of Longgang District to build the new municipal administration engineering model. The first five landscape projects will be launched in conjunction with the competition for conceptual scheme design in the hope of breaking the stereotype of monotonous and tedious municipal facilities in the past, endowing a modern, engaging and diverse sense of design, fully tapping into the cultural value connotation of public facilities, and providing a new model for the design of municipal facilities in Longgang District and Shenzhen!

International Competition for Conceptual Design of Shenzhen Tanglang Mountain Country Park City Viewing Platform is about to launch. The competition is now open for pre-registration and design teams from all over the world are welcome to pre-register. The competition is organized by Urban Administration and Law Enforcement Bureau of Shenzhen Municipality and Shenzhen Park Service, and co-organized by Shenzhen Position Spatial Culture Development Co., Ltd.
In the era of ecological civilization, under the background of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and towards a Pilot Demonstration Area of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, Shenzhen continues to promote the goal of building a “Shenzhen Home Facing the World”. As one of the measures to implement this goal, the “Mountains-to-Sea City Trail Master Plan” has been put forward. It proposes to build an attractive ecological skeleton of “One Ridge and Eighteen Corridors”. The plan also identifies 10 sites for city viewing platforms in non-core protected areas, which can show the scenery of Shenzhen’s mountain, sea and city pattern, as well as the achievements of Special Economic Zone from multiple dimensions.
As one of the core nodes of “Mountains-to-Sea City Trail Master Plan”, Tanglang Mountain Country Park City Viewing Platform has a spectacular panorama of Shenzhen Bay and the central areas. It aims to create a remarkable City Viewing Platform of Shenzhen Bay Area.
Tanglang Mountain Country Park is located at the junction of Nanshan District, Longhua District and Futian District in Shenzhen. Tanglang Peak, the main peak of Tanglang Mountain, is the highest point in the central area of Shenzhen, offering a panoramic view of Shenzhen.
Standing at the peak, to the east, one can not only capture a distant view of Wutong Mountain, Jigong Mountain and other continuous mountains, but also enjoy the view of Luohu District and Futian Central District. To the north, there are the University Town, the Xili Reservoir and Longhua District. To the southwest, one can see Liuxiandong Headquarters Base, Shenzhen Bay High-tech Industrial Park and Houhai Headquarters Base, with Shekou Area, Qianhai Area and Bao’an Central District in the distance. Look out to the south are Shenzhen Bay and Hong Kong.
The main design content of this competition is the concept and connection design of two city viewing platforms on the main and secondary peak of Tanglang Mountain. Design teams should propose the specific design of the city viewing platforms as well as the resting and visiting spaces, including the design concept, form, structure, material, color, site design and signage system, etc.
In addition, the design content covers the improvement of the landscape design along the main entrance of the park from Longzhu Gate to the city viewing platforms, including the design of the main entrance, the infrastructure and landscape design of the 4.6 km main road and the both sides of it, the accessible design and the parking lot design.
