【正文】 and the area close to water in the city andtown[1]. The development of urban waterfrontarea plays a vital role in the stimulation ofthe whole urban economy and general urbanenvironment and the improvement of urbantaste. At present and in the future, small andmedium cities will be the focus of nationalconstruction and development, and their urbanlandscapes should also be the emphasis ofdevelopment planning. Waterfront landscape asthe most attractive urban landscape has beenincreasingly highlighted by more and more smalland medium cities and it has been a hot issue oflandscape planning in recent years. Suqian City has dense network of rivers,including Jinghang Grand Canal, old YellowRiver, Minbian River, Luoma Lake and so on.Among them, Jinghang Grand River runningfrom the north to the south of the urban centerof Suqian plays a critical role in the urbandevelopment. Based on the consideration ofprotecting urban ecoenvironment, developinglocal historical culture and meeting people’saesthetic need and activity psychological need,it needs to conduct a scientific planning anddesign on the waterfront area of JinghangProblem’s typeEcoenvironmentPublic service facilitiesRevetmentRoad transport systemBuildings along the bankHistorical cultureGrand Canal in Suqian City, not only enhancingpeople’s perception of Quqian City, but alsoechoing with the need of Suqian City toconstruct national garden city, so as to stimulateits construction and development. Suqian City is located at the north part ofJiangsu Province and is a prefecturelevel cityapproved by the State Council in 1996. It coversan area of 8,555 km 2 and has a populationof more than 5 million. It is one of the bestcultural ecotourist destinations in China andhas been one of the medium and small citieswith the highest tourist petitiveness and themost characteristic charm. Jinghang Grand Canal of Suqian sectionis 112 km long and Suqian City is seated at themiddle section of Jinghang Grand Canal whichhas been reputed as “the golden way” in NorthJiangsu. Jinghang Grand Canal runs across theeast part of Suqian City and connects the oldurban center with Suyu District. Its both bankshave profound cultural connotation and theformer residence of King Xiangyu lies there.Now, Jinghang Grand Canal of Suqian sectionstill shoulders the historical mission of navigationand ?ood discharge, and also the new mission tomanifest Suqian waterfront urban feature.1 General situation of the researchareacenter section of Jinghang Grand Canal areclosely related, which is of vital value to theimprovement of urban environment. The westpart of Jinghang Grand Canal as a part of theurban center is a key development area. Theresearch has been conducted on the area fromthe Southern Ring Road to the Northern RingRoad on the west bank of the urban centersection, km long and covering an area ofabout 264 hm2. Analysis of current situation Through the survey and analysis, it canbe found that the navigation function of theGrand Canal has declined and land use of bothbanks of the canal is messy. There exist manyproblems in the planned urban section andunplanned section in terms of ecoenvironment,embankment, road system, historical cultureand landscape (Table 1 and ). In view ofexisting problems and waterfront landscapeplaying a critical role in urban development,the paper strives to discuss schemes to improvewaterfront landscape image of the Grand Canaland has proposed speci?c planning suggestions.3 Discussion on waterfront landscape planning and design of Jinghang Grand Canal Principles for the planning and designof waterfront landscape of Jinghang GrandCanal2 Analyses Identification of the research scopeThe urban land and residents of the urban Ecological priority.

With constant urban development in China, ecoenvironment hasincreasingly received people’s attention. Asurban waterfront green land is close to the waterroad, it has diversi?ed biology. Therefore, in thedesign of urban waterfront green land, it shouldfollow the theory of landscape ecology. Withplants landscaping as the dominance, it shouldcreate natural waterfront landscape。4結(jié)論濱水地區(qū)城市密集特點(diǎn)，從景觀表達(dá)的人們可以感受到城市形象整合自然環(huán)境，文化環(huán)境文化風(fēng)情。景觀照明設(shè)計(jì)不僅要表達(dá)的效果和突出景觀通過(guò)照明。它還要求設(shè)計(jì)一個(gè)開(kāi)放所面臨的文化廣場(chǎng)宮墓，常綠針葉樹(shù)森林包圍的建筑物；它可以集現(xiàn)代名人塑像廣場(chǎng)周圍，說(shuō)明名人故事發(fā)展的運(yùn)河。風(fēng)帆廣場(chǎng)接近江蘇玻璃廠，并組成救濟(jì)，風(fēng)帆廣場(chǎng)延伸到水輪船碼頭反映宿遷經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展。 （1）廣場(chǎng)它設(shè)計(jì)了四個(gè)正方形與不同的主題，包括生態(tài)廣場(chǎng)，文化廣場(chǎng)，休閑廣場(chǎng)和風(fēng)帆廣場(chǎng)。第三，應(yīng)嚴(yán)格控制水平輪廓線，并設(shè)計(jì)一個(gè)好設(shè)置濱水天際。 。良好的護(hù)岸設(shè)計(jì)不僅能幫助創(chuàng)造一個(gè)良好的親水空間與環(huán)境與吸引游客，并保護(hù)好生態(tài)環(huán)境的濱水綠色帶。除了海濱人行道，它可以適當(dāng)?shù)纳暾?qǐng)無(wú)公害電池之旅路徑為游客長(zhǎng)途旅游。（2）道路車輛系統(tǒng)。海濱人行道應(yīng)降低，使人們更加感到寬敞的水和與水接觸。同時(shí)，應(yīng)該加強(qiáng)與周邊的關(guān)系綠色的土地，景觀小品和服務(wù)設(shè)施，讓市民可以最大程度的滿足[ 6 ]和水—愛(ài)的需求。在同一時(shí)間，這需要作為固有的生態(tài)社區(qū)，進(jìn)行恢復(fù)和休息通過(guò)原公式化的模式，使城市濱水綠地將充滿自然的興趣，最終提高生態(tài)有趣的城市濱水綠地。此外，它需要增加公共綠地，此外綠地靠近居民區(qū)。植物景
