With the advent of the global cultural crisis, local culture has attracted more and more attention from the public. The flow of new landscape works emerging in the urban construction may bring us surprise for an instant, but human beings will also find there are so many regrets and problems left behind, especially, the various cities with homogeneous landscape, various places of interest with homogeneous scenery and the costly “exotic flowers” and “exotic plants”. The lack of local geographical features and culture has become a common problem in the landscape works of urban construction in many cities. The reason is found to be the fact that people intend to ignore the role of native culture in landscape design, and additionally overlook the integration of local culture into the design while drawing more lessons from the foreign experience. The elements of the vernacular landscape come from rural life and also nature, which is simple and unpretentious, full of regional characteristics. And there are significant differences between different regions. For example, the quadrangle dwellings in Beijing, the caves in northern Shaanxi, and the towers in the south of China are the vernacular landscapes in different regions. The author finds that the elements of ordinary and natural vernacular landscape can be expressed in a reasonable way so as to maximize the presentation of characteristics of the vernacular landscape and to form a landscape full of regional culture.
