Local landscape research of town is an important issue for the high-quality development of habitable urban-rural space, and has significant implications for the promotion of new urbanization. In order to create modern landscapes with local qualities, the article takes the “three living landscapes” as a framework, analyses the local qualities of the eight ancient landscapes in Wujiang towns, and discusses how to protect and utilize these ancient landscapes in modern urban and rural planning. The article analyses the distribution characteristics of the eight ancient landscapes in Wujiang towns through GIS spatial analysis and literature research, and combined with field investigation, it interprets the characteristics and mechanisms of the construction of local landscapes. The spatial distribution of the eight scenic spots of Wujiang town generally shows the characteristics of “multi-core aggregation and water distribution”. The eight scenic spots are more concentrated in the small town space with dense water network. The eight scenes of Wujiang is a typical presentation of production (fisheries, mulberry forests, and polder fields), living (bridges, pagodas, and temples) and ecological landscape (wetland, lake, and channel). The research results show that the construction of local landscape in Wujiang towns should embody the wisdom of “depending on the water”, “enjoying the water” and “hidden in the water”, fully embodying the process of construction of the natural environment, the activity subject and artificial construction on the three life pictures, and guiding the construction of ecological and livable environment in towns.
