ABSTRACT
The ecological design of the waterfront landscape belt in the cold regions started at a very late date. Due to lack of proper models to refer to, the landscape belt design, being dull and formalized, is faced with many problems and difficulties, and opportunities as well. With the speeding up of urbanization, waterfront ecological landscape design has a great room for development and more attention has been paid to it. Designers should make full use the climate and unique regional cultural characteristics in the cold regions to explore proper design principles and strategies and achieve the goal of protecting environment in the real sense, putting people in the first place and sublimating the value of the waterfront landscape in the cold regions.
