Unlike traditional parks, this concept emphasizes the originality of the ecosystem, comprising both the natural scenery and regional culture and consolidating confidence in Chinese culture and highlighting the region's cultural identity, Chen said.

Along the 30 kilometers of waterway in Hangzhou's Gongshu district, there are many things for tourists, such as the Shangtang Ancient Canal Night Tour and Grand Canal Red Sandalwood Museum. One can enjoy night views and cultural heritage as the same time.
