Research On The Landscape Design Of The Resort Hotel Of Conghua Imperial Spring Project

So far, the development of international resort hotels has enjoyed a history of hundreds of years, while in China, leisure vocation does not have a rapid development until in the past 20 years after the Reform and Opening-up. However, as for the development and construction of resort hotels, there is still a big gap between China and the rest of the world. People are paying more and more attention to the landscape design, which is an important part of the image of resort hotels. Although holiday resorts are developing rapidly, some problems still exist, including a lack of local characteristics and the variety of the facilities. What's more, many people develop resorts blindly without considering ecological environment, which destroys natural landscape resources.As a backyard garden of Guangzhou City, Conghua has picturesque scenery and abundant tourism resources. Scenic spots such as Liuxihe National Forest Park, Qiangang Ancient Village, etc. constitute the 80km Gold Tour. In addition, Conghua is famous for radon sodium carbonate hot spring, which is well known as the First Hot Spring of Lingnan Area. All these have made Conghua a famous destination for leisure vocation both at home and abroad. However, problems still occurred. For example, the urbanization of the Conghua Hot spring Resort is more and more serious. On the other hand, the hot spring resources are over exploited, leading to the resource exhaustion and deterioration of natural environment. Besides, the landscape of resort hotels is simple without unique features of themes and image.The Imperial Spring lies in the riverside of Liuxihe River of Liangkou Town in Conghua, covering an area of 29.28 Kilometers, with rich natural and cultural resources. As an important part of an ecological protective screen of forests in northern part of Guangzhou City, the resort plays a vital role in protecting the eco-system, conserving water resources and soil & water conservation. Therefore, the resort focuses on afforestation and protection of vegetation so as to create a green space. In this way, it assures the link of ecological corridor and the exchange of material and energy so that the ecosystem can maintain a steady and healthy status. With a setting of ecological landscape and a corridor of wet land the resort takes hot spring as the theme. The resort is characterized by A Valley,Three Areas, namely commercial conference area, hot spring area and public leisure area, which form a banding landscape structure with pleasant environment and attractive scenery. Congdu Resort Hotel is located in the commercial conference area and its landscape design optimizes the structure of ecological view. By combining the landscape layout of Congdu Resort Hotel, the landscape space, functional structure and the landscape of courtyard with the buildings in a harmonious and unified way and analyzing the modern unique landscape factors with Chinese characteristics, it can be summarized that Imperial Spring has generated a beautiful environment with rich Chinese cultures and a relaxing atmosphere.By studying the landscape design of Imperial Spring, this paper concludes that resort hotels should be different from city hotels in terms of the protection and development of natural and ecological environment, the uniqueness of landscape style as well as the creation of the atmosphere of leisure vocation. The above conclusion can serve as a reference for the development and construction of resort hotels in the future.
