**New Report: Second Phase of Riverside Park in Yizhuang Begins Construction** *By Staff Reporter John Doe* The grand waterwheel, nestled within a sea of blooming flowers and terraced fields, and the 1,000-meter-long elevated scenic walkway, offering a unique view of the Liangshui River, are just a few of the high-tech features being integrated into the design of Yizhuang’s latest green space. Smart seating, solar-powered pavilions, and other innovative elements will also be added as part of the ongoing construction of the second phase of Yizhuang New City Riverside Park. The 13.7-kilometer extension is set to open this October, adding an additional 1.92 million square meters of greenery to the area and completing the full 44-kilometer greenway along the Liangshui River. Last year, the first phase of the park was completed, stretching 5.1 kilometers from the Fifth Ring Road to Rongchang West Street, with both banks covering an area of 106 hectares. The second phase, currently under construction, will extend 13.7 kilometers and will feature 1.92 million square meters of new green spaces. The park will have a tree planting density of 30 trees per acre and a greenery coverage rate of over 90%. According to the layout map of the second phase, it will connect seamlessly with the first phase. Starting from the South Fifth Ring Road, the park will run along both sides of the Liangshui River, pass through the Beijing-Shanghai Highway, and continue northward along the Tonghui drainage canal, surrounding the Yizhuang Development Zone from the west, south, and east. The Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area's Construction Bureau revealed that the second phase will include the development of 33 kilometers of cycling and fitness paths. Additionally, projects such as rain gardens, ecological swales, wetlands, and rainwater collection systems will be incorporated, aligned with the concept of sponge city construction. Facilities such as greenway stations, monitoring systems, smart lighting, skywalk corridors, and children’s playgrounds will also be added. While maintaining the technological features introduced in the first phase, such as smart seating, intelligent waste bins, and solar-powered pavilions, the second phase will emphasize interactive technology experiences. Visitors will be able to appreciate firsthand how technological innovations improve everyday life during their park visits. A green waste collection center will also be constructed, where organic waste such as fallen branches and leaves will be composted into fertilizer for maintaining the park’s greenery. To enhance the scenic experience, a 1,104-meter elevated walkway will be built on the east bank of the Liangshui River between Rongchang Bridge and Kangding Bridge. This skywalk will allow visitors to walk among the treetops, offering unique views of the river from above, creating a serene “immersive” experience within nature. Additionally, between Kangding Bridge and Yongchang Road Bridge, a "flower sea terrace" will be created, utilizing the natural topography and varying heights of plant growth. Fitness and cycling paths will wind through this flower sea, offering a tranquil escape into nature. The famous waterwheel of the Liangshui River will be revived, using its mechanism to channel river water into the flower sea and eventually flowing into the wetland area. Meanwhile, the existing tall trees between Yongchang Road Bridge and Jinghai Ninth Road Bridge will see the cycling path widened from four meters to eight meters, creating the illusion of traveling through a forest. In addition to these riverside developments, a 4.5-kilometer stretch along the Tonghui drainage canal will see enhancements to the existing "Floral Calendar" theme, with the addition of more flowers and plants. The previously inaccessible flood detention area in Yizhuang East will be transformed into a waterside park, where cycling paths, fitness trails, and leisure plazas will be built around the lake, while maintaining its flood control functions. These areas have seen significant ecological improvements in recent years, attracting a variety of waterfowl. Once the second phase of the Liangshui River park, the Tonghui drainage canal project, and the flood detention zone greenways are fully completed, they will form an interconnected network. This will not only provide high-quality recreational spaces for residents but also advance the development of Yizhuang as a green, sponge, and forest city.
