Set on a wooded hillside overlooking the Lu River, Lujiang Academy Park removes later additions to restore the academy's historic relationship with its surroundings. Reinstated watercourses and ponds, local-stone terraces, and native planting shape a stepped path rising from the riverside to the academy. Paths, plazas, and outdoor spaces support lectures, cultural programs, and informal public use. The project received recognition in the IFLA Asia-Pacific Landscape Architecture Awards.
