Abstract Previous studies have demonstrated place attachment’s potential to contribute to psychological restoration. However, relatively few studies have explored this subject in the context of Chinese natural urban parks. This study explores the relationship between local landscape characteristics, place attachment, and perceived restorativeness using urban park photos from the cities of Macau and Fuzhou, China. Photo stimuli were modified to incorporate local landscape characteristics and rated by 382 respondents. Results showed that respondents demonstrated stronger place attachment and perceived restorativeness when rating photos included strong local landscape characteristics. In addition, local landscape characteristics, place dependence, and place identity positively predicted restorative perceptions. Findings provide new knowledge on the significance of local landscape characteristics for place attachment and restoration. They offer useful insights for urban planners and designers in creating meaningful urban places with high restorative impact.
