China News Service, Guangzhou, October 15 (Reporter Cheng Jingwei) The 140th Canton Fair was launched in Guangzhou on the 15th, and merchants from all over the world gathered in the flower city. In order to make the city's "living room" more eye-catching and the "moving lines" of commuting more eye-catching, Guangzhou uses "embroidery skills" to promote the renewal of green beauty. From the airport expressway to the Ersha Island Blue Road, from the Bougainvillea aerial flower gallery to the permanent flower border on the street corner, the city is decked out in green beauty to welcome guests.

Under the coordination of the Guangzhou Municipal Forestry and Landscaping Bureau, the Guangzhou Forestry and Landscaping Engineering Construction Center took the initiative. The surrounding areas of the Canton Fair and the commuting routes for guests are the “first sight” of merchants arriving in Guangzhou. Around these important circulation lines, the center has implemented continuous landscape improvements: multiple flower arrangements have been added to the Airport Expressway, and more than 800 bougainvillea trees have been planted. At the same time, 29,100 square meters of flower arrangements and about 400 groups of flower boxes have been completed in 14 municipal road sections; about 13,200 square meters of flowers and plants have been planted at 45 nodes such as Xingang East Road and Yuejiang Road in Haizhu District. There are flowers all the way, and the welcoming atmosphere is directly filled.

In the process of promoting greening and color planning of overpasses, Guangzhou has transformed "looking up to see flowers" from a rare scenery to a daily aesthetic, subtly cultivating the artistic perception and urban cultural identity of citizens and tourists, and attracting many Chinese and foreign businessmen to check in and share, making the "green business card" handed to the world by the Flower City even more vivid and moving.
