Jiupai News reporter learned that the same deck chairs were created in the East Lake Tingtao Scenic Area and Wuhan Moon Lake Park, which were carefully designed by Shi Shuo, director of the Second Institute of Landscape Architecture of Wuhan Design Consulting Group.

Different from traditional anti-lying partition stools, these reclining chairs can be used in a variety of scenarios, whether they lie flat, sit cross-legged, or sit opposite each other, or even children can share with parents, pets and owners.

"Tingtao and Moon Lake Park have similarities in terms of topography, both are high in the front and low in the back, which can be combined with the terrain to follow the trend, which provides inspiration for us to try to design recliners."

At that time, the shape of the loungers may change in order to blend in with the style of the different parks, but the design of the wide surface will be maintained. This is so that visitors can lie back comfortably and enjoy the relaxation and tranquility that the park brings.
