Abstract: Social ideologies surged after the reform and opening-up policy in 1978, bringing great development opportunities for the landscape architecture industry. During the 1980s and 1990s, the construction of parks in Guangzhou was greatly influenced by social ideologies showing distinct era characteristics. These parks are somewhat representative of parks in Lingnan and China. However, no case study on parks in Guangzhou in the 1980s and 1990s under the comprehensive social context has been reported, making it difficult to summarize the characteristics of modern landscape construction in Guangzhou. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a case study of parks in Guangzhou during the 1980s and 1990s within a comprehensive social context, explore the internal linkages between the social environment and landscape construction, and summarize the construction characteristics of these parks.
　　Firstly, a social context in the 1980s and 1990s was established by interpreting and analyzing relevant policy regulations, planning documents, and conferences. Secondly, four parks with characteristics of the era and high recognition in the industry, including Caonuan Park, Yuntai Garden, Guangzhou Sculpture Park, and Pearl River Park, were selected as typical cases. These four parks' general situation, overall layout, emphasis on design, and garden architectures were analyzed by combining them with construction history, and their distinctive features were interpreted. Finally, the characteristics of each case were put in the social context of the era to discuss construction characteristics and transformation reasons for parks in Guangzhou in the period.
　　After the reform and opening-up policy, Guangzhou began to pay more attention to the construction of urban green space to meet the material environment needs of urban development, resulting in the high quantity and diversified types of parks in Guangzhou. Influenced by such a social environment, the construction characteristics and transformation reasons of parks in Guangzhou during the 1980s and 1990s mainly include the following: (1) As a response to the Western ideological trend and cultural modernization transformation brought by the reform and opening-up policy, traditional landscape culture began to transform toward modernization. As a result, the construction of parks in Guangzhou during this period blended Chinese and foreign garden cultures, including the inheritance of traditional garden culture, absorption of Western culture, and the balance between Chinese and foreign cultures. (2) The development of aesthetics after the reform and opening-up policy emphasized garden aesthetics in constructing parks in Guangzhou during this period. This covers two aspects: a combination of sculpture art and garden construction, and the enrichment of innovative plant configurations. (3) To respond to parallel economic development and environmental development by the Guangzhou municipal government after the reform and opening-up policy, significant attention to ecological construction became a characteristic of park construction in Guangzhou in this period. This included the establishment of a plant community and the protection of native vegetation. 
　　To summarize, the construction of parks in Guangzhou during the 1980s and 1990s presented distinctive characteristics in the social context of the urban park rise after the reform and opening-up policy, including the blending of Chinese and foreign garden cultures, emphasis on garden aesthetics, and emphasis on ecological construction. Parks during this period inherited not only traditional garden styles and incorporated Western garden styles and human landscape forms but also exhibited distinctive construction characteristics in topography, layout, architectural style, and planting design of gardens. Park types in Guangzhou in this period reflect China's urban cultural modernization trend, the demands of time, and social value orientation.
