The Liangma River International Waterfront Corridor is more than an urban revitalization project; it is a living testament to Beijing’s vision of blending heritage with innovation. Nestled in the city’s vibrant CBD and foreign exchange district, this 5.575-kilometer masterpiece reimagines the historical waterway as a global destination for culture, ecology, and modern urban life.



Guided by the principles of sustainability, inclusivity, and excellence, the Liangma River project transforms an ancient river into a dynamic international landmark. Every element of the design embodies harmony between humanity and nature, with ecological restoration at its core. Riparian enhancements, scenic lighting, pedestrian greenways, and bridge renovations create a seamless flow of beauty and function, making the waterfront a hub for leisure, cultural exchange, and economic activity.



The project’s impact is profound. It has redefined urban living in Beijing, drawing over 100,000 visitors daily and invigorating the local economy. The river’s clear waters and lush banks offer a sanctuary for residents and visitors, while its state-of-the-art infrastructure supports global forums, cultural festivals, and sustainable tourism.



As a beacon of modern urban design, the Liangma River embodies Beijing’s commitment to creating a livable, sustainable city that respects its past while embracing the future. It is not merely a river but a cultural and ecological statement, setting a global benchmark for waterfront development.
