- Abstract：
- Covering approximately 135 hectares(334 acres),this urban greenway stretches 13.4 kilometers (8.3 miles)and varies in width from 100 to 300 meters (109 to 328yards)across Qian'an(population 700,000).The city is at the south foot of the YanshanMountains onthe bank of Luan Riverin north-east Hebei Province.Although the main citylies near the river,residents cannot see itswater,since high embankments were builtto prevent flooding.As the life source of Qian'an,the small Sanlihe River mirrored the long history of the city and carried the memories of its common people.Before pollution set in around 1973,it had clear water from the ground water recharge of the Luan River, which ensured that it stayed cool in summer and warm enough to never freeze in winter.
