让特殊人群嗅到花香、听见鸟鸣，南京首个无障碍花园本月底开放_

“我们一路闻着花香进来的，这里改得太周到了。”近日，锁金二村刘女士带着听障的父亲到玄武湖公园遛弯，看到一系列无障碍设施，不由得竖起大拇指。玄武湖公园情侣园已建成全市首个无障碍花园，通过增加扶手盲道、语音播报、互动装置等设施，创造心有爱、行无碍的游览环境，本月底将正式对外开放。

Nanjing will open its first barrier-free garden as part of Xuanwu Lake Park at the end of this month. This inclusive park is designed to provide equal access and enjoyment for people of all abilities, including individuals with hearing or vision impairments.

“欢迎来到玄武湖无障碍花园，前方为寻味园，两侧布置了5处休息点，种植了香水薄荷、苹果薄荷……”走进花园，语音便播放出舒缓的声音，将人们引入无障碍世界。

玄武湖无障碍花园共打造了3处无障碍游览点。第一处是花香浓郁的寻味园。寻味园里种植了无毒、无刺且具有明显的嗅觉特征、色彩鲜艳的各类植物。沿路铺设了盲道、座椅等无障碍设施，配有感应式语音导览播报，帮助特殊人群用听觉、嗅觉来“观赏”植物。

The garden’s first zone features plants that is not spiky or poisonous but with unique smells, such as the Round Leaved Mint that exudes intense apple scent.

It’s also equipped with a tactile guide path, benches, audio guides, and other facilities, allowing people with disabilities to learn about plants through hearing or smelling.

特殊人群主要是指残障人士、老年人、婴幼儿等行动不便的群体。“香气浓郁的植物和语音播报，可以引导视障朋友游玩休憩，”玄武湖管理处相关负责人表示，“比如香水薄荷，走到这里不用低头也能闻到清新的薄荷香气。”

沿着寻味园的盲道一直往里走，就到了鸟类科普廊。玄武湖作为都市中的鸟类天堂，一年四季鸟语花香、燕雀欢鸣。景区因地制宜在水花园旁边打造了鸟类科普廊架，新增透水铺装、围栏扶手、盲道和多个弧形休憩座椅，方便老人小孩在此游览。

“这里设置了4处语音导览，有人来便自动感应播报，科普鸟类知识。”玄武湖管理处相关负责人介绍。

The path leads to a corridor dedicated to bird science, which automatically broadcasts knowledge about birds through audio guides when the sensor detects any visitor. Other designs at the corridor include thornless Chinese rose, wind chimes hung at the top, and chimes made of trees.

花园核心区以视障朋友为主要服务对象，印着盲文的扶手包围全部步道，指引视障人士前进游览。“在樱花树的旁边有块标识牌，上面介绍着樱花的形态特征，视障朋友不仅能通过盲文来了解知识，还可以按旁边的绿色按钮听语音讲解。”玄武湖管理处相关负责人说。

The core area of the garden is mainly for the visually impaired, with braille messages imprinted on the handrails. A signboard near a cherry tree introduces the characteristics of cherry blossoms in braille, and there’s a also green button to offer audio guide when pushed.
