Abstract
Huizhou village has developed a structured water landscape sequence that serves practical purposes, such as drainage and irrigation, but also holds cultural and social importance. This study examines the hierarchy, organization, and distinct features of Huizhou’s water landscapes, offering insights for contemporary planning. The sequence is characterized by its hierarchical structure, dynamic water guidance, and ecological adaptability. The paper suggests developing a hierarchical water system to boost the landscape’s ecological and cultural value through sustainable design and cultural landscape revival.
