Eight new parks in Longhua District have been recently built, with roads paved mainly with granite and permeable concrete and walking lanes made with porous asphalt. Some parks are designed as sponge sites which can absorb and use rainfall in an ecologically friendly way that reduces dangerous and polluted runoff. Each park has its own unique set of features to delight and inspire.
