Study on the Design of Agricultural Landscape at Jingshan Entrance of Hangzhou-Changxing Expressway

Abstract

As a window for displaying the city's image, the landscape of the highway entrance has become the focus of urban construction. However, as urban construction is bound to occupy more cultivated land, the contradiction between urban construction and cultivated land protection has become increasingly prominent. Therefore, applying agricultural landscape at the highway entrance for creating a beautiful space with historical characteristics and rich farming culture is an effective way to solve this contradiction. Here, to explain the design concepts, ideas and principles of the application of agricultural landscape, Jingshan entrance of Hangzhou-Changxing Expressway was studied. The results showed that the tea hills at Jingshan Entrance created a rich rural cultural landscape of Zen-Tea culture, thus the city’s entrance became the most distinctive first scenic line without changing the use of agricultural land, and the people who enter the toll station gradually immersed themselves in farming landscape and the mood of Zen-Tea culture. Considering that, the agricultural landscape is featured with production value, leisure value and aesthetic value. It can not only alleviate the contradiction between city construction and cultivated land, but also has a unique and profound aesthetic effect on the city entrance, and reconnects urbanites with rural. In this case, attention should be paid to agricultural landscape in the process of transportation planning and urban planning, and urban agriculture is worthy of further practice and research in urban construction, agriculture heritage protection, ecology, production, education, entertainment, community participation, agricultural tourism, industrial integration, health preservation and other aspects.
