The newly opened Hongqiao Park, also known as Red Bridge Park, has a name deriving from the 4-kilometer red bridge built in Guangming District, and ranked sixth among the city’s 10 most visited places in the past Chinese New Year, according to a list published in February by Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok. The park, reputed as “the most beautiful red ribbon,” also won the Best Landscape Design Award at the 2020 World Architecture Festival China (2020 WAFChina).

Shenzhen Daily talks with Ramón Cuesta, a Spanish architect and manager responsible for the construction project, to share ideas behind the unique designs his team adopted for this park, as well as his future plans for improving the facilities. Cuesta is the representative for the Shenzhen Office of the Dutch landscape architecture firm LOLA (Lost Landscapes), which is based in Rotterdam and was founded in 2006.
