The community of the Kura Kura Bali Special Economic Zone stands in solemn tribute to the life and legacy of our beloved Landscape Master Planner, Harvard University and Beijing University Professor Yu Kongjian. A true pioneer who lived in action, his journey led his spirit to merge with the vast wetlands of Brazil. His journey will continue as the world leader and many across the globe mourn and celebrate his Turen legacy. Our deepest condolences extend especially to his family.

Professor Yu was a poet of the earth, a perpetual traveler whose Turen footprint has touched every corner of the globe. In Kura Kura Bali, as its Landscape Master Planner, he created one of his masterpiece that, synthesizes his healing vision. He imbued the island with his revolutionary "Sponge Concept," achieving the miracle of retaining 100% of rainfall, and harmoniously weaving the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana into the very fabric of the design.

His life was lived in action, and in action, his spirit finds its eternity. We pledge to glorify his vision here, transforming Kura Kura Bali into a culminating testament to his endearing philosophy—a beacon for the world that showcases a future of harmony between humanity,  nature and the spiritual.

May our Turen traveler rest in peace. Your footsteps has carved an enduring path. We will walk it with loving memory.

With the deepest respect,
The Community of the Kura Kura Bali Special Economic Zone
