Chongqing, known as the "World Bridge Capital," is celebrated for its extensive infrastructure. The city builds bridges and constructs roads, unlocking a thousand miles of rivers and mountains to create a prosperous world.

From a geographical perspective, Chongqing's terrain features dozens of mountain ridges running from northeast to southwest, nearly parallel, resembling the strings of a massive harp. The surrounding elevated mountain ranges impose significant constraints on Chongqing's development.

Despite these challenges, Chongqing harnessed another natural force, combined with the tireless efforts of countless ordinary residents, to overcome these restrictions. The city has since transformed into the world's bridge capital, becoming a vibrant hub in China.

(The oil painting 'Road and Bridge People' by Zhang, Hongwei.)

The ground was concave, with an 8-meter height difference from the road to the bottom. The building, which symbolizes a bridge, and the water, representing the Yangtze River, inspired me to transform this depression into a waterfall garden. The garden features spaces like the Earth Art Entrance, the City Theater, and the Eco River Flow Fusion Plaza.

"Where mountains rise, we carve paths; where rivers flow, we build bridges. We carry the torch of reform to its very end."
