Hangzhou Landscape Architecture Design Institute

What Hangzhou Landscape Architecture Design Institute does

Hangzhou Landscape Architecture Design Institute (杭州园林设计院股份有限公司) is a publicly listed Chinese professional landscape architecture firm headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, trading on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE:300649) and self-identified as China's first listed landscape design company. The firm operates five integrated service lines — landscape architecture, architectural design, cultural heritage conservation, urban/regional planning, and EPC general contracting — and has delivered an extensive portfolio including the G20 Hangzhou Summit venue and Asia's largest rooftop garden (45m height, 6.5 ha), the Xiamen BRICS Summit, Chengdu Universiade East An Lake area (Luban Award), Boao National Agricultural Park, the West Lake UNESCO World Heritage conservation works, the Xixi National Wetland Park (China's first national-level wetland park), and most recently the Alibaba Global Headquarters landscape (2024). It maintains 125+ landscape, 39 architectural, 18 heritage, and 28 EPC project entries spanning 20+ Chinese provinces, and has accumulated over 80 national and provincial awards.

The firm's revenue model is project-based professional services delivered through competitive government tendering and EPC contracts, with named public-sector clients including the Hangzhou City Infrastructure Development Center, West Lake Scenic Area Management Committee, Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee, and Guangzhou Nansha District Construction Center. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise/government sales, industry conference presence, WeChat content marketing, and reputational pull from award-winning landmark projects; CEO Li Yonghong (Zhejiang Province Engineering Survey and Design Master) anchors both technical leadership and industry positioning. Underlying technology combines traditional Chinese garden design expertise, ecological restoration and wetland engineering, urban green-space planning, and growing integration of digital experience features (AR digital humans, digital flower arrangement, intelligent lighting) in flagship projects.

In April 2026 the company extended its model with two original cultural-creation sub-brands — 正春山 and 风禾里 — translating landscape design IP into consumer lifestyle products (stationery, fragrances, wellness, intangible heritage crafts) and a nature-healing IP (疯阿狸), explicitly launching via consumer-facing channels such as the Shanghai Jing'an 2026 First Garden Cultural Creative Exhibition. This B2C brand move sits alongside the firm's core B2G design and EPC business and signals an effort to diversify away from the cyclical municipal infrastructure spending environment.
