It's hard to believe that this lush, natural habitat in Qinhuangdao City, China was once a dumping ground for garbage. Designed by landscape architect Kongjian Yu, the waterfront park along the Tanghe River has become a popular place of gathering for local residents. The most noted feature of the park is the red steel "ribbon" that spans for a third of a mile. It functions as seating, and it actually glows at night! So beautiful!
