About the project

The 25.96km2 WanMu Ecological Park brings opportunities for improving ecological sustainability of existing habitats or creating new types of habitat/land use, beneficial to the local flora and fauna. Ecological education, aesthetics and social value of the wetland system and orchards aim to enhance the environmental conditions of the district. The green circulation infrastructure connects the Health Pier, the Apiary ‘Honey’ Centre and the Botanical Tower, as it weaves across new wetlands and existing orchards and villages, to embrace 'knowledge' Sun Yat-sen University in the east and 'economy' Guangzhou Exhibition Centre in the west. The Apiary ‘Honey’ Hill and the Botanical Tower provide visitors with knowledge of sustainable food production and nature, and also the most spectacular views of park and Guangzhou city.
