Along with the acceleration of economic and cultural integration nowadays, the interchange in the fields of information, science and technology and other fields has become larger. New designing ideas, new materials, new techniques and new process appear in abundance especially in the professional field of landscape design. Shocks from different cultures bring strong visual and psychological impact, which promote the development and renewal of urbanization. At the same time, those fast changes lead to the developing tendency of assimilation and internationalization in landscape design. Globalization discourse has weakened the subject consciousness of local culture and caused the assimilation of landscape spatial form in the designing area. Once the local culture in weak position is lacked of inside vitality and does not have the direction of development and consciousness of self-awakening will vanish in the tide of unification of world cultural and lose immunity and competitiveness completely.

Chapter 3 analyzes elements of regional character. It mainly explains the causes of regional character from the aspects of natural factor of the landscape and human factor which focus on the impact from historic and human elements such as traditional culture and modern culture.
