2. /Vicinity Map Project Location in Taiyuan* The city
government and the planning commission have es- |* tablished an
area along the new Airport Highway where it meets Binjiang Tonglu
Road as a Gateway Zone to the New Taiyuan City Center. As the
Airport Highway crosses over the Fen River, two parcels on either
side of Airport Highway have been designated as landmark sites. On
these sites one 150 landmark building each will be constructed.
Collectively these buildings, each reaching 150 meters in height,
will act as a frame, or gateway to the New Taiyuan City Center.
Life Dream and Wenzhou Investment, the developer of the adjoining
residential development, has conceived of a land- -, mark quality
project to anchor one side of the citys proposed . planned gateway.
The Project consists of an iconic 5-star re- sort hotel designed to
and beyond international standards, two offi ce towers one for
politicians and the other for train- ing and seminars for the
politicians, and a series of high-end residential towers. 2
