Yuzixi Ecological Park is a sub-project of BEWG’s PPP Project of Yuzixi River Channel Flood Control Regulation and Supporting Works (hereinafter referred to as “Yuzixi Project”) in the tributary of the Yangtze River in Luzhou City, which is located in the core area of Luzhou High-tech Zone, with a total area of about 1300 mu. Taking the construction of a water ecological civilized city as an opportunity, taking the new urbanization as the main line, based on its landscape texture, and combined with the development planning of Luzhou Hi-tech Zone, BEWG has carried out full-cycle integrated “design--construction--operation” to reactivate the natural charm of the region, reconstruct the water green environment space, and created a high-quality, ecological and green urban living room.

Among them, in the Yuzixi Ecological Park Lake Area, a series of improvement measures such as river lake separation, river regulation, sponge city construction, water ecological restoration, landscape greening, etc. were taken to effectively improve the quality of water environment, recover and maintain the natural connectivity of river and lake systems, build a benign urban water cycle system, and improve the system quality of landscape open space. After Yuzixi Ecological Park was opened in September 2020, it broke through the management mode of traditional urban park operation and maintenance that focuses on single repair and maintenance, and innovated and introduced the urban regional commercial operation mode to make up for the lack of revenue in the operation and maintenance of traditional parks, so as to explore and practice the innovative management mode of public welfare projects to achieve comprehensive operation  transformation of both social and economic benefits.

Through comprehensive planning and design in the early stage of the project, as well as ecological operation, maintenance and commercial operation after completion of the project, and combined with the unique cultural heritage of Luzhou, also called “Wine City”, “Mountain City” and “River City”, BEWG has made Yuzixi Project a comfortable platform for industrial elite exchange and innovation, a fashionable urban waterfront life and leisure destination, and a vivid green cultural image of new Luzhou, greatly improving the attraction of Luzhou Hi-tech Zone and the quality of people’s cultural and leisure life.

Yuzixi Ecological Park has become a new scene project for local cultural and tourism consumption, injecting economic vitality into the high-tech zone and driving the development of surrounding cities. As a new name card of Luzhou City--- “the bright pearl on the south bank of the Yangtze River”, Yuzixi Ecological Park has realized the organic symbiosis of “mountains, water, city, culture and people”, and is new urban park model room project created by BEWG.

It is the constant original intention and perseverance of BEWG to listen to customers’ needs patiently, design the project drawings carefully, concentrate on polishing technology, experience functional operation attentively, and repay the confidence of the society and the public with full enthusiasm and responsibility. In the future, BEWG will, as always, adhere to the concept of being customer-sourced, inherit and innovate Chinese culture, fulfill China’s mission, take positive actions to promote the construction of global ecological civilization and jointly build a clean and beautiful world, and strive to write a new chapter in the cause of ecological environment protection in the new era.
