Due to the city's geographical and chronological history, the historic urban countryside has heritage value as a remnant of the shift from the urban borders to the natural environment. The increasing conflicts between urban development and cultural landscape preservation, brought forth by periodic social upheavals, are sadly eroding their cultural landscape heritage. This study takes a look at the Sheshan Urban Countryside Historic District in Shanghai and uses the layers of history to categorise the cultural landscape's epochs: Emergence, Development and Exploration, Diversity and Prosperity, Turbulence and Change, and Stability and Precipitation. The purpose of this research is to determine the qualities and values of the cultural landscape heritage layers of Sheshan by examining their evolution via the application of Historic Urban Landscape Historic Land use Assessment (HUL) and Historical Landscape Assessment (HLA). Accretion, juxtaposition, overlay, and decline are the four separate stratigraphic relationships identified in the cultural landscape legacy of Jiufeng Sheshan, as per the study. According to these findings, the continual occurrence of different stratigraphic patterns seems to represent an evolutionary feature. Also, the legacy value of Jiufeng Sheshan's cultural landscape stratum has been growing at a quicker pace in recent times. Modern scientific and religious buildings are more likely to survive than literati gardens and Buddhist relics. In view of the cultural landscape heritage's understanding and appraisal of its worth, living preservation and restoration of landscape heritage must be addressed. This calls for the development of a strategy to restore and protect cultural landscape heritage, one that follows the idea of historical stratification and unites the scattered cultural artefacts. Organic revitalisation of urban and rural areas, as well as the transmission and protection of cultural landscape assets in historic districts of both urban and rural areas, may be guided by this study.
