Ningbo China Overseas·Xin Zhi Yuanjing is an exceptional project that artfully integrates natural aesthetics with profound cultural sentiments, capturing the essence of Oriental courtyard living. Drawing from the rich traditions of China Jiangnan's water towns, the design incorporates iconic elements such as white walls, black tiles, serene bridges, and flowing water, all within a contemporary residential landscape. This creates a peaceful retreat that is both a feast for the senses and a balm for the soul. The philosophy " The Beauty of the Oriental Courtyard " is central to the project, evident in the meticulous attention to detail, from the texture of every leaf to the placement of every stone, all of which reflect a deep reverence for the natural world.



Strategically located in Ningbo's Haishu District, directly across the lake from the prestigious Xin Zhi Hotel, the project embodies the unique allure of waterfront living in Jiangnan. Within the urban environment, this project offers residents a meticulously crafted forest garden, layered with diverse natural experiences that change with every step, inviting residents into a serene, restorative natural sanctuary. Each element of the courtyard design is thoughtfully curated to allow residents to explore and engage with the refined beauty of Oriental aesthetics, fostering a sense of inner peace and harmony.



The project also aims to create a spiritual sanctuary where nature seamlessly merges with life quality. The concept of "Forest-like courtyard living" encourages continual exploration, where the courtyard serves as a retreat for both mind and body. Through modernist interpretations and minimalist design, the project aspires to deliver a pure, elegant Oriental living experience, where simplicity is celebrated as the ultimate luxury. In this sanctuary, every element of nature is not just preserved but revered, inviting residents to reconnect with their inner selves and the natural world in a more profound, meaningful way. The balance of space, light, and natural elements within the project invites a slower, more contemplative way of life, where the beauty of the environment enhances the quality of living.
