Distinct beautification treatment set for leisure sites

Landscaping at seven parks and one green area in the East Wing will be restored from damage inflicted by Typhoon Hato last summer, according to the Zhuhai Urban Utilities & Forestry Bureau.

The first group includes White Lotus Cave (Bailiandong) in Jida, Banzhang and Paotai mountains in Gongbei, Qianshan Riverside, and Xiangshan parks in Old Xiangzhou, as well as the Women & Children Central Greenland in New Xiangzhou.

The Guangzhou Chuangjing Garden Design Institute won the contract for the landscaping design with plans for each park to take on its own characteristics under a unified theme of Revitalized & Reborn.

Zhuhai Urban Municipal Construction will oversee the work. Here are the facelift details:
