Those architectural arts that integrate into the lives of citizens

There is a bridge that is not named after the bridge in Qingpu New Town, that is, the iconic landscape building of the Qingpu Ring City Water System -Water City Gate.

The horizontal sidelines of Shuicheng Gate are at the intersection of the Caogang River and the Dianpu River. It is 12 meters high. On one side, there are along the riverside landscape connected by Yunfan Plaza, Liuquan Plaza, and Chenxing Park. Essence The bridge is the shape of the ancient city wall. There are arrow stacks and seven arches on the bottom. The large arches in the middle are engraved with the word Tongtong. Therefore, the gate of the water city is also known as the gate of the water city. There are two floors of urban buildings on the bridge, bucket arched eaves, and red pillar green tiles. They are typical Chinese antique buildings. Combined with the bridge, simple and majestic.

The construction of Shuicheng Gate is copied and restored based on the historical documents of Qingpu Old Town 450 years ago. At that time, Qingpu Old City had five cities, northwest, northwest and small west gate. Except for the east gate, the remaining four doors have water cities. Residents enter and exit the old town and can row in and out of the water city gate. The water system of Qingpu Old Town is prosperous, which is evident.

Today, when we go to the gate of Shuicheng, watch the ground carvings named "grain" and "transportation" on the north and south steps, as well as the couplet on the red pillar of the city tower, "Zeng Ji Zhongzhou, unforgettable water source" The memory of the life of the old city compartment jumped out.

The water city gate, using the new Chinese style of nature and ancient rhymes, reproduced the life of Qingpu Old City Chamber, showing Qingpu's heavy water culture and transportation culture. Become a iconic building with temperature, memory, and reading.

The gate of the water city not only connects the Caohe River, but also undertakes the ancient rhyme and new city of Jiangnan Water Village, so that history and reality are refreshing here.
