Text description provided by the architects. Guitou Town Wetland Park is located in Guitou Town, Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province, and represents a significant endeavor by YXDesigners in the region. During the urban design collaboration with Vanke Urban Research Institute, we identified a natural wetland along the Wujiang River in Guitou Town. This wetland is frequently submerged during flood seasons, with severe soil erosion making it unsuitable for agricultural development, thus remaining an overlooked "wilderness." However, this very "untamed" quality has preserved its pristine ecological attributes—dense native vegetation, rich biodiversity, and unparalleled vistas of mountainous and aquatic landscapes.
