With the expansion of aesthetic education’s application and development, the traditional aesthetic education model is confronted with challenges of venue confinement and content canonization. On the other hand, public landscapes, owing to their relative ease of access, show a growing potential for the aesthetic education of citizens. Within the context of civic aesthetic education, public landscapes provide a series of specific benefits, which allow for more expansive, immersive, interactive, and deep aesthetic education. This is a crucial aspect of responding to the growing needs of aesthetic education in the new era, and it is of great importance. The current key tasks are to make the most of the special advantages of public landscapes, optimize the communication of public aesthetic education, and achieve an organic integration of public landscapes with aesthetic education. Only in this way can we expand the ways of achieving civic aesthetic education in the new era and enhance the positive role of public landscapes in aesthetic education.
