Huanggang Port is a new urban development along Shenzhen river, connecting Hong Kong and Shenzhen, catering towards scientific research and advancement. The park lies adjacent to Huanggang port, which is a public-restricted zone that served as a principle-limiting factor for the site. In response to it, a loop canal has been proposed to encapsulate the park on both sides of the river.

The masterplan as a whole has been designed as a single superblock, a living being, constructed out of wood with public spaces extending in all directions. Flora infests the buildings, structures, and open spaces, served by the water canal-like blood veins. Resting in those structures is a scientific campus, with all its labs, halls, and services, designed holistically to accommodate a variety of scientific fields and adapt with future advancements.
