As a key component of the Ningbo Eastern New City and the largest public ecological landscape project in Ningbo's central urban area, the Ningbo Eco-Corridor serves as the "green lung" of the city center.
生态走廊位于宁波东部新城,是宁波城市中心区最大的公共生态景观项目,城市中心的“绿肺”。
Extending 3.3 km, the Corridor merges seamlessly with the adjacent urban fabric and natural systems, creating a symbiotic relationship between the greenway and the surrounding landscape.
With the natural environment as the basis and the concept of minimizing human intervention, the Ecological Corridor was planned to "create a natural ecological wetland culture."
The entire Ecological Corridor has areas for leisure and scenic viewing, and with the undulating terrain, different heights, shapes, and colors of plants and vegetation are combined to create a unique spatial pattern, increasing the diversity of the ecological environment.
By restoring the ecological network in this region, the Ningbo Eco-Corridor creates vital habitats for native flora and fauna, enhances public health, and creates fun and enjoyable public spaces for local and neighboring communities.
