Abstract

At present, under the new background of accelerating urbanization and deepening food crisis, agricultural landscape theory and its applications show great significance and practicality. With production value, leisure value and aesthetic value, agricultural landscape has unique value and effect on easing the conflicts between urban construction and agriculture, and promoting urban-rural integration. Here, the agricultural landscape space of three expressway entrances in Hangzhou was chosen to study. Then, the results showed that (1) the Zen Tea culture was integrated into the high-quality ecological terraced tea hill at Jingshan Entrance, which enables passers-by to appreciate the rich farming culture and Zen Tea culture the first time entering; (2) similarly, at Longwu Entrance which is charactered with the continuous tea hills, the designers emphasized the historical and cultural features of "Thousand Year Tea Town" by showing the tea culture, tea industry and tea life with elaborate landscape designs; (3) at last, a "rural-urban integration" landscape was presented at the Permaculture Park and the Welcoming Exhibition Area at the South Entrance of Hangzhou. In summary, introducing agricultural landscape into the expressway entrance not only creates a beautiful landscape space and an innovative cultural landmark with distinctive characteristics, but also grants the expressway entrance cultural, social and economic functions, and promotes urban-rural integration.
