A few days ago, Zhejiang Greening & Protected Natural Area Committee Office, the Organising Committee Office of the 19th Asian Games 2022, and Zhejiang Forestry Bureau jointly announced the construction list of the "carbon neutral forest for the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022" in order to implement the "Green, Smart, Economical, Ethical" concept of Hangzhou Asian Games and promote the carbon neutral of the Asian Games and Asian Para Games. Jinhua Chishan Park by ZEHO ECO was included in the list.
Jinhua Chishan Park
Jinhua Chishan Park is at the intersection of Huancheng South Road and Dongshi South Street. It is next to the Asian Games sub village in the East and the People’s Hospital in the north. It covers an area of 465,000 square meters and has a green area of 310,000 square meters. It is the largest comprehensive hilly ecological park in the first ring of Jinhua. It is full of birds, flowers and butterflies. In the whole process, from the initial construction to the completion of the park, and then to the management, maintenance and maintenance of the park, the ecological and environmental protection concepts such as low-carbon and recycling have been throughout.
Before construction, the site of Chishan Park mainly includes demolition site, Hongyan mountain, pond, road and a small amount of vegetation. The project adapts measures to local conditions, preserves the original hilly landform features and original plant communities to the maximum extent, connects the pond water system based on the original landscape skeleton, scientifically mixes peat soil and organic fertilizer to improve sandstone red soil, builds micro terrain and Red Rock mountainous landscape according to the mountain situation, and reduces carbon emissions during construction by minimizing disturbance. And build subtropical ecological plant communities, repair damaged ecosystems, enrich plant seasonal colors, and also play a multi-level and high-efficiency carbon sequestration effect. The water bank restoration also respects nature, and uses low-carbon natural materials such as plants, logs, gravels and stones, and selects four ecological engineering methods such as natural vegetation revetment and Gabion revetment to carry out natural revetment restoration; Meanwhile, the garden road is paved with permeable materials, further implementing the concept of sponge city.

After completion, the Chishan Park is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a series of scenic spots. The plant landscape simulates the natural community of Nanshan and Beishan, and plans seven colorful health forests in the mountains. In the valley water system, many natural flower landscapes such as Plum Blossom, Eight Immortals, Azalea, Iris, Cherry Blossom and Compositae are designed. 60 groups of plant landscapes are designed according to different solar terms, with about 700 plant varieties. The flowers are blooming in spring, fragrant in summer, magnificent and colorful in autumn, and the trees are dancing in winter. While ensuring a wonderful tour experience in all seasons, it also realizes the continuous carbon collection and carbon fixation of plants, to promote low-carbon and green urban development.

Through implementing ZEHO ECO “ecological housekeeper” products, Chishan Park has also realized carbon sink monitoring and low-carbon intelligent management, creating a low-carbon environmental protection park with the entire process.
A carbon sink monitoring and management platform has been built in the park. The carbon sink data of 12,900 arbors can be visualized, providing a basis for further utilization; The park comprehensive management platform tailored for Chishan Park integrates intelligent service, intelligent management, intelligent operation and intelligent experience to achieve intelligent management and maintenance of the park, energy saving and efficiency improvement. The goal of reducing maintenance labor cost and management cost has been initially achieved. It is expected that the maintenance cost can be saved by over 10% this year. With the improvement and upgrading of the irrigation system in the region, this figure can gradually rise to 15-20%, and the carbon emission in the maintenance process will also be reduced.

In addition, the theme of Intelligent combines the original scenes of the park and the Asian Games, and also collides with four outdoor intelligent and entertainment facilities to enrich the citizens’ experience. It successfully created the first model park with the theme of “intelligent + ecology + sports”, making Chishan Park an important display for urban ecology, urban culture and digital construction.

Chishan Park in Jinhua integrates ecological restoration, forest health and recreation. It is a beautiful stroke in the construction of Jinhua’s ecological pattern of “one core, two mountains, three rings and three axes, six wedges and eight parks” by undertaking the strategic objectives of low-carbon guidance and green development. During the games, as a supporting project of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, this “backyard garden” connected with the water system of the Asian Games sub village can provide a high-quality rest and relaxation environment for athletes before and after the event. After the competition, the park will serve the main urban area of Jinhua for a long time, becoming an excellent place for citizens to explore the secluded and healthy environment, and helping the city realize its ecological and livable development vision.
Chishan Park will continue to improve the function of the natural science education base and become a new model of Jinhua City’s ecological construction, as well as a new member and benchmark of the Yangtze River Delta urban park.
