A low elevation greenbelt paving structure based on sponge city ideas belongs to the technical field of urban drainage. The greenbelt paving structure is characterized in that a protective layer, an evaporation layer and a water storage layer are added between a plantation soil layer and a sand layer in an existing structure, so that a low elevation greenbelt has higher applicability in climate environments with large day-night temperature differences, long drought periods and short rainy periods; and functions of "water storage in rainy periods and water drainage in drought periods" can be implemented automatically, so that later-stage maintenance cost for the low elevation greenbelt can be reduced or avoided. The low elevation greenbelt paving structure based on the sponge city ideas is characterized in that the structure is successively composed of a gravel layer, the sand layer, the water storage layer, the evaporation layer, the protective layer, the plantation soil layer and a covering layer from bottom to top.
