Tiexiang Temple Riverfront Phase I
Tiexiang Temple Riverfront, a characteristic commercial and cultural block prioritized at Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone, Chengdu, is located at Chengdu Tianfu New City, and is adjacent to Tiexiang Temple (a religious temple built in the Ming Dynasty with a history of almost 500 years), Xiaojia River system and Tianfu International Community (an international cultural communication platform). The development goal of the project is to "inherit Tianfu culture and build a dynamic city". Tiexiang Temple Riverfront is built beside the water in a Neo-Chinese classical architectural style, and integrates traditional Tianfu cultural landscape elements and such functions as culture, art, fashion, tourism and leisure. The court, Huilan Tower, pavilion, water pavilion, ancient bridge and memorial gate all create a water bank street space with Chengdu characteristics and depict a map of community life. This project pays equal attention to business and culture that not only the vitality of modern business is reflected in project operation, but also the inheritance and innovation of the millennium-old culture of ancient Shu.
