Abstract: The protection and renovation of ancient town space design has been widely concerned by all walks of society and professionals of all disciplines. However, in the process of design protection and renovation, there are various serious problems such as lack of the core functions are weak, loss of historical context protection, and disappearance of architectural space design features. As an important commercial transportation hub town in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Hekou Ancient Town has become increasingly weak. From the perspective of the place spirit (Genius Loci) theory, this paper followed the design principle of “use function enhancement, spatial feature extension and life situation experience”, and elaborated the strategies of space protection and renovation of Hekou Ancient Town design from three aspects: spatial pattern, landscape restoration and landscape node reconstruction, in the hope of enhancing the depth of the inheritance and development of the spiritual culture of ancient towns in China.
