Abstract

Reconstruction of historical areas of cities remains one of the most prominent problems in China. The project of reconstruction of the Wanshougong historical district is in its final stage of implementation, and reveals main issues faced by Chinese architects nowadays. This is the only district in the city of Nanchang, which preserves its historical appearance relatively well. A detailed examination of the existing buildings was carried out at the design stage. The foundations of the destroyed Wanshougong monastery were discovered within limits of restoration area. Wanshougong monastery was restored to its original state, returning a lost landmark to the city. Old road network was preserved and cleared of dilapidated buildings. Architects sought to improve quality of urban development, solve transport and parking issues, as well as strengthen the tourist and economic attractiveness of the area.
