Bridge of Nine Terraces / Scenic Architecture Office

The Horticultural Expo Village is located on the northern slope of Xian Mountain, which is in the northern part of the 11th Horticultural Expo Park, Nanjing. The terrain is high in the south and low in the north, where the Scenic Architecture Office designed the Northern Inn of VOCO B&B Hotel, a small shed in the northwest corner of the melon field, and a covered pedestrian bridge to the north of the village. This stretch of the Qixiang River flows along the northern foot of the Xian Mountain, and the east and west sides offer a great view of the valley in the direction of Baohua Mountain and Zhong Mountain. The pedestrian bridge connects The Horticultural Expo Village and the Jumbo Museum to the north of it, making it easy for guests to come and go. Crossing the river from the north to the south, the Bridge of Nine Terraces is a walking pathway into The village, with the Xian Mountain, Lian Mountain, and Yangshan Mine Pit unfolding in front of you behind the village. In addition to meeting the circulation needs, we hope to build a pedestrian bridge here as a resting place and a landmark to the north of the village, so that seeing the bridge gives people a feeling of "going home".
