How many possibilities are there in Eden Spring Mountain?

"Around the North Pole with a sailboat for 128 days."

This sounds unbelievable, but it did happen to Zhai Mo, who is known as "the first person to sail around the world in a solo sailing boat in China." The director Zhang Keming who recorded this feat has directed dozens of excellent documentaries and won awards such as the Berlin Documentary Film Festival and the British BBC Excellent Documentary.

"I hope that while exploring, I can show the ecological and environmental issues in the Arctic, objectively speaking about the relationship between man and nature, and the role of man in nature." Zhang Keming said.

On weekends, we went to edenchunshan at the foot of Panshan Mountain in Jizhou District, Tianjin, one hour away from Beijing. Came here was originally the new movie "Hi!" by the documentary director Zhang Keming. Attracted by the "Arctic" conference, I wanted to hear his sharing of inspiration for shooting around the North Pole and some interesting things, but in the end, grass was planted in the spring mountains of eden.

According to reports, eden Chunshanli is called edenchunshanli ecological education international life demonstration zone. It draws on the experience of the world-class British ecological IP Eden Project eden project, takes the ecological restoration of abandoned mine pits as the core, upholds the concept of spreading natural knowledge and practicing ecological civilization, and is committed to building a Chinese-style ecological civilization park and education system.

In other words, this is still under construction, but there are already some communities living in a place that was originally a huge, abandoned mine. Then, paying attention to the topic of ecological protection and the practice of ecological education has naturally become the most concerned thing in eden Chunshan.

"What kind of life and experience are ecological, and how far are we from living an ecological life?" With such doubts, we tried to find answers in the park.

There are already some venues and experience projects in the park. For example, eden sustainable farm, which is a family-based farm co-construction plan, everyone can listen to the design, construction and co-construction concept of the farm, and then plant a fruit tree of their own on the farm.

In the Yimi vegetable garden, we have seen the fruits of everyone’s work. The raised vegetable garden is not only convenient for adults to take care of, but also for children to get close to the plants and observe their daily changes.

It is reported that there will also be a spiral garden on the farm, which has different plant species and is scattered in different patterns. It is not only beautiful, but also contains the principles of plant ecology: plants planted in high places like drought, planted in low places like humidity, and planted in low places. The varieties in the north are shade-tolerant and those planted in the south are sun-resistant... This kind of close observation is more direct and vivid than any knowledge in books.

Different from the appearance of the farm in our traditional impression, the leaves and fruits in the sustainable farm are free of pesticides, and do not use cement and concrete. Pave stones, sawdust, and bark to allow insects to walk freely. Rainwater penetrates unimpededly to form a "respirable ground surface"; branches and residual leaves are not discarded at will, but are placed in a compost bin between the ridges of the field. Become nourishment.

Everything here retains the original appearance of the land, does not damage the natural environment as much as possible, and relies on natural laws to produce natural ingredients. In the eyes of many people, the future here will be both a farm and a natural ecological education base, a garden, a nature classroom, and a playground for children to liberate their nature and explore symbiosis with nature.

There are many such experience projects in the park, including rainwater collection systems, eco-friendly toilets, aerobic fermentation compost bins, trash cans, river restoration projects, etc., which are guiding people how to live an ecological life and how to develop an ecological outlook.

In addition to "touching ecology", eden Chunshan also opened a "master class", inviting including Shan Jixiang, the "master" of the Forbidden City, Ouyang Ziyuan, chief scientist of the Chinese lunar exploration project, and experts in life aesthetics, from history, aesthetics, and science. And other dimensions to expand children’s horizons. In addition, Page One bookstore also settled in the park, building a small space for children to read and play. The park will also frequently launch activities such as the construction of hundreds of buildings.
