VISITORS to Hongqiao Park in Guangming District can check out the newly opened Yuezaiting Art Station inside the park.

Designed in a Lingnan garden style, the art station, spanning 3,678 square meters of land with a total built-up area of 1,520 square meters, incorporates various artistic spaces, a coffee and tea area, a leisure lounge, and other services within the charming litchi hillside setting.

Positioned amid garden paths and lake views against a mountainous backdrop, visitors can relish the panoramic expanse of the iconic 4-kilometer-long Red Bridge in the park and immerse themselves in scenic beauty.

Designed by Shenzhen architect Liu Heng and her team at NODE Architecture & Urbanism, the concept mirrors Lingnan garden corridors, seamlessly integrating differing elevations and landscape flow techniques to craft a captivating multi-dimensional garden experience. The structure offers diverse perspectives and immersive encounters with nature.

At a ceremony held last month, Liu shared the innovative design philosophy behind Yuezaiting. Zhu Rongyuan, deputy chief planner of the China Academy of Urban Planning and Design, suggested incorporating existing exhibition spaces into a gallery, featuring curated works by renowned artists, emphasizing quality with only a few exhibitions annually.

The art station introduces its signature “Mountain Top No. 1” coffee brand at the coffee shop. Guests can delight in the splendid park views while relishing the expertly brewed Yunnan mountain coffee — a bespoke experience tailored for a moment of serene enjoyment.
