Lion Mountain Park

Suzhou, Jiangsu Client: TLS

Dramatic Lion Mountain in Suzhou is a historical and natural feature that has forever watched over Suzhou.Recently, its surroundings have been diminished with a run-down amusement park at its base, a small muddy lake dwarfed by roller coasters, attractions, and an aerial tram up the mountain face. The project aims to restore the greatness of Lion Mountain and create a new lake, park and area to commemorate this landmark.A great circular promenade, two kilometers in length binds together the mountain and lake with a social and poetic program that links daily life together with 18 new narrative "scenes" on the mountain to form the natural and cultural anchor for development including a new cultural campus.
