In this study,CiteSpace software was utilized to visually analyze the research literature of virtual reality(VR)technology in landscape architecture within the CNKI database,with the aim of unveiling the current re-search status and trends in this field.The findings indicate that domestic research has progressed through four sta-ges:embryonic(2007-2012),exploratory(2013-2016),rapid development(2017-2022),and stable development(2023-present).There is limited collaboration among domestic research teams,most of which conduct independ-ent studies with minimal communication.Research directions can be categorized into five areas:planning,design and application;plant landscape design;landscape healing;digital landscape and cultural conservation;and teach-ing research.The focus of the research lies in landscape architecture planning and design,application,teaching re-form,and practical teaching.Plant landscaping and green space may emerge as key areas for VR technology re-search in Chinese landscape architecture in the future.It is imperative to enhance professional talent training and technological applications to advance digital developments in landscape architecture.Furthermore,promoting in-terdisciplinary integration along with multiple technological combinations will expand new perspectives on land-scape healing research.
