The famous painting by local artist, Huang Gongwang, “Mountain Life in Fuchun,” displays rolling mountains, verdant forests, rippling river, and spring clouds over the island, as well as the poetic layout of villages within this mountain/water landscape. Using it as inspiration, we derived four mountain/water development principles to control the height, density, and location of urban development as well as to develop preservation and utilization strategies for landscape resources.
