In recent China, the rapid development accelerates the competition among cities and thus causes the continuous extension of highway networks towards countryside, surrendering the right of way to vehicles, and invading rural life and the local lifestyle. Beautiful villages are being forced to become urban or even part of city centre, whose distinctive nature and social customs killed by the rapid urbanization. The walkway bridge is a key project of community civil works and urban landscape design exercise with merit emphasizing the balance between local life preservation and unavoidable urbanization. The architecture well coordinates the surrounding landscape and traffic, offering car-free walking experience for local community while making a good balance between form, space, function, memory and indigenous cultural preservation.
