Populus alba village, Qilian County, Qinghai Province, is located at the foot of zhuo’er mountain, a scenic spot along the Qinghai Hubei line. There is plenty of light in summer and snow in winter. The surrounding mountains are covered with rain and snow, and the streams pass through the village. The Hui, Han and Salar villagers of the village have lived together with this poplar forest for many years. The largest resource of the site itself is the dense poplar forest distributed on both sides of the valley. The plan hopes to highlight the site characteristics of the scattered forest land through the careful layout of the forest path and theme landscape, and create a series of comfortable and natural public activity spaces for the village.

When thinking about the future scene of public space in Populus alba village, we put forward two levels of scene construction: “poetic nature, neighborhood comfort”. The inspiration of the scene design comes from the traditional garden making method. With the nearly hidden plank road, a series of walking paths are built from the village entrance to the poplar forest and then to the highland barley field to show the dragon scale poplar, which can be used to create a deep view by the mountain forest; sometimes lying across the water, sometimes winding into the forest, fascinating in the natural poetic scene among the snow mountain, Danxia and poplar forest.
