The designer has successfully transformed the long-existing train station into a fascinating railway park. Nevertheless, many vintage elements and original railway settings, such as the station, platform, railroad, and the wye, have been kept. On top of that, the designer also embraces nature by welcoming the natural elements, including the greenery, butterflies, and other animals and plants in the surroundings.
Gazing at the entire project from above, one will recognize a green forest filled with flying butterflies and be astonished by the vividness and spectacular view.
Walking towards the park’s entrance, the visitors will see a picture of a group of butterflies spreading their wings, like open hands, welcoming and hugging the tourists and residents. The half-hollowed air corridor connects the old and new buildings, which not only symbolizes the inheritance of the old and the new but also represents the hospitality and convenience offered by the city government. When visitors walk through the passage, it looks like tiny creatures walking on the body of a butterfly and riding on the butterfly wings to experience the world of flowers and plants from a glorious vision.
