The waterfront of Muyan mountain area is located along the Yangzi river. The area contains several existing resorts and hotels which are all disconnected from the waterfront and from each other. The design provides a good connection between these projects and also links to the natural park on the surrounding mountain. In between the main street and the side of the river, there are three existing water features, which after being unified became the guide line for the design of the project. The inspiration for the design came from the flood and wave movement of the river caused by the traffic of the boats. The plan consists of a white planting, like cherry trees and white grasses, in contrast to the dark green forest on the mountain.
