UAE Park in China to be open in December

Dubai - Park designed to reflect development process witnessed by the UAE

The UAE Park in China will be officially opened in December this year in Nanning, the capital of the Guangxi Zhang Autonomous Region in Southern China. 
Dubai Municipality (DM), which is representing the UAE in Expo 2018 China, has participated in the design of the project that is coming up in an area of 1,700 square metres.
Engineer Marwan Al Mohammed, director of general projects department at the DM, said that the park is being designed to reflect the development process witnessed by the UAE over time.
He said that the visitor's journey to the park begins through the Barjeel area, which reflects the UAE heritage of wind towers.
"A replica of the logo of the upcoming Expo Dubai 2020 is placed in the center of this area. It is proposed to use virtual reality technology, which enables the visitor to follow the stages of the unique architectural development of the UAE," he said.
A Bedouin tent is located in the park with necessary heritage and aesthetic elements, such as pottery and Falaj (traditional irrigation canal), which is connected to a lake with a traditional wooden bridge to cross over to the other side. The tent will introduce visitors to the ancient Bedouin life. 
The visitor then reaches a modern urban area, which reflects the UAE's development and urban growth. Through an open space with Sunken Seating facilities, the visitor will be able to enjoy the Skyline Fountain and the metal formations that form the most important architectural monuments of the UAE such as the Burj Khalifa and Sheikh Zayed Mosque. 
Al Mohammed said that the modern urban area also contains a mini outdoor theater with a large screen for the transmission of all national events of the UAE directly, such as the UAE National Day celebrations and other national events celebrated in the country.
The design of the park was fully prepared by an experienced team in the general projects department at Dubai Municipality. 
The project comes within the framework of the municipality's efforts to highlight the global urban development of the UAE and to emphasise its distinguished position in the architectural and engineering field by highlighting it as an inspiring and distinctive place in this field.
