The project is a real estate project mainly on leisure, resort, travelling, living, restaurant and amusement, which combine real estate development with tourism development. Planning area is located in east of the old city, with the border of Liyong Road and Lida Road to the east, south to Lijiang high school and Xianghe Road, west to original old city hospital which connect with old city, north to Liyong Road. Located 80 km northeast of Sanya, the Li’an Pilot Zone is a new international tourist destination appointed by the Government of Hainan. The 2,000 mu site is currently a series of disused fish ponds and degraded marshlands straddling a narrow spit of land between the open ocean and a protected saltwater bay. Taking full advantage of the site’s inherent topographical features and context, Watershed proposed the development of a new ‘Water City’ to create new industries for the region and provide innovative cultural and leisure amenities. Existing fish ponds and usable landscape were retained to conserve wildlife habitat. A ‘city grid water system’ was introduced including 300 yacht berths to create a new ‘Asian Monaco’ experience, fully integrating the water theme with building functions, natural environment, residents, and visitors throughout the master plan.
