Abstract: Based on the detailed spatial data of DEM and landscape type map, a preliminary study on the landscape visualization of Zagunao watershed in the upper reaches of Minjiang River was conducted by using Visual Nature Studio (VNS) 2.0. The obtained results could realistically reveal the main landscape types including forestland, shrub land, orchard, grassland and farmland, suggesting that landscape visualization could be a new and useful tool for the management of watersheds. The development trends of landscape visualization research were illustrated, which was of significance in the related researches in China.
