The park dedicated eighty-five per cent of the site for the preservation and restoration while integrated low-impact recreational program into the rest fifteen per cent of the land.

A boardwalk system was proposed to accommodate the foot traffics while to limit the direct contact with the soil in the woodland.

Local stonewalls mark the entry to the woodland area and help to create a accessible ramp.

The boardwalk system was carefully laid to provide a pleasant experience in the woods. Over a three-year period, the crumbling soil in the woodland area has stabilized and the quality of the environment has improved.

At the intersection of the two paths, the Lighting Ring, a circular boardwalk, creates a 360-degree experience of the woodland forest.

The Lighting Ring is enclosed with the translucent acrylic pole screen to form a meditative courtyard environment. The translucent screen captures light and shadow as well as the subtle sound of the wind.

A mini starfish vegetable/flower farm, located between the sand dune woodland and the road, offers the rare and hands-on experience for all age groups on vegetation and farming.

A customized irrigation system works in the reality and invites the visitor, especially the children, to participate in the process from pumping water to irrigating the farm.

The irrigation system is integrated with the Starfish planting beds, which were inspired by the marine creatures.

The Aranya Park is a 4.6-hectare park in Aranya – a large scale coastal development centered with ecotourism in northeastern China. The aspiration of the project is beyond a provider of recreational program with the low impact to the nature for the community but a missionary undertaking to restore fragile coastal woodland ecosystem. The park dedicated eighty-five percent of the site for the preservation and restoration while integrated low-impact recreational program into the rest fifteen percent of the land. The project was also to develop and implement a system to restore the woodland before and after the construction of the park. By engaging artistic and experiential installations and a participatory mini farm the park offers diverse experience of the landscape. The park presented a solution to restore the damaged nature and transformed the legacy of the green buffer from a liability into a common asset. While the ecotourism has become an increasing economic drive in China, the project is an experiment and a valuable example for creating development strategies without compromising the ecosystem.
