Tanghe River Park

Turenscape Architects

Qinhuangdao, Ebei province, China

The Red Ribbon is located in the Tanghe River Park, in the costal city of Qinhuangdao. The park is situated in 50-acre site on the banks of the Tanghe River, a derelict area previously earmarked for residential development. The main feature of the park is a 500-metre red fiberglass bench that winds through the site allowing passers-by to comfortably enjoy the river bank. The bench, which was fabricated in local boat-building yards, contains recessed lighting fixtures that illuminate the boardwalk at night.
