The Chengnan Ecological Park renovation project in Changzhi City was recently completed as the city's pioneering project to adopt the concept of a "sponge city." Implemented in the Chengnan Ecological Park, the project places an emphasis on eco-friendliness and incorporates sponge city design concept. Employing a landscape layout model known as "one landscape belt, multiple scenic spots," the project aims to cultivate a new paradigm of sponge city parks blending an inviting environment and quality life.

The park boasts a variety of ecological elements, including streams, wetlands, and permeable rubber tracks, and the green areas incorporate rain gardens, sunken green land, and grass trenches, which enable the conveyance and partial storage of rainwater. The project serves not only part of the city’s "sponge city program," but also provides fitness enthusiasts with upgraded facilities.
