Research On Landscape Planning And Designing Of Trails For Hiking And Fitness In Nanshan, Chongqing

Thanks to the rising passion of nationwide body-building, trails for hiking and fitness - the nationwide public fitness equipments - are being promoted and constructed throughout the nation. The local governments, for example, Ninghai, Hangzhou, Lanzhou, Qingdao and Shanghai are exploring methods to build trails with their own features. The so-called'Mountain City'---Chongqing, which has rich mountain resources, is exploring and constructing the trails with its own features. Nanshan, a sightseeing place which is close to Chongqing, is regarded as an ideal place to build up the trails and organize hiking activities, as it close to the city, have the beautiful natural sightseeing, long history and good precondition for constructing trails. Until now, Nanshan has programmed fourteen trails already, many people come there for hiking or sightseeing, and the visitors can even be reached up 10,000 in weekends or national holidays, However, the whole quality for the trails construction is not very satisfied. The reason is that it lacks of unified constructing methods, and it does not have reasonable planning according to their own features . That is why the reason it caused many problems such as serious damages to the trails, low quality constructions, no united styles, lacking of local features and so on. On the other hand, the frequent usage of these trails is calling for a better quality. Therefore, it causes conflict between the current trails construction condition and citizens'needs. Thus, this essay aims to search out an ideal solution to solve this problem and find out better solution to construct the trails to meet people's needs, making them organize their activities in a better, orderly way.This research is separated into three parts: pointing out problems, analyzing and solving problems.
