Historical evolution

The southern tropical garden, a crown of Zhanjiang greening project, was completed and opened today. With the coming of the open day, the mysterious veil of this 64 hectare Park in the Central District of Zhanjiang City has been uncovered.

It is rare in Guangdong and even in the whole country to set up parks in urban centers. The construction of the park has poured the hard work and sweat of countless people. A few days ago, the reporter interviewed pan Nasheng, member of the Standing Committee of the municipal Party committee and executive vice mayor, leaders of relevant departments and enthusiasts who contributed to the park, and brought out the little-known stories behind the garden construction.

Building a park on 64 hectares of land

How difficult it is to build a park on 64 hectares of land in the city center. What is the determination of the government? Pan Nasheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Municipal Committee and executive vice mayor, who was on the construction site of the tropical garden in southern China when he was free, told the reporter: "according to the urban planning, this land has always been reserved as a green park. The construction of this park by the government also takes into consideration that a large area of Zhanjiang is the central urban area nearby. The construction of this park will improve the living and investment environment of this area, and the surrounding land will be more valuable for the benefit of Zhanjiang people. " At the construction site of the park, pan Nasheng introduced the construction of the park to reporters while walking.

"In 2005, with the approval of the State Council, the government began to renovate the urban environment in the cultural and social security area, with the purpose of creating a good ecological environment and producing good ecological and economic benefits. In the process of construction, it has been strongly supported by wukuo village committee, Longchao village committee and Wenbao village committee. Among them, the farmer brothers are very supportive of the construction of the park. "

Zhanjiang south tropical garden area is large, ornamental flower varieties. The construction of the park reflects a highlight of local culture. Pan Nasheng told reporters, "the park built according to the terrain and integrating with the surrounding environment has a very good connection with the surrounding terrain. Such a large area of botanical garden is rare in the parks of various cities in the province. In the future, it will also be a popular science education base in Zhanjiang, filling the gap in this area. " It can be predicted that the completion of tropical garden in southern China will bring direct effects on enhancing the city image and improving the investment environment of Zhanjiang.

The theme of tropical garden in southern China is mainly flowers, which is combined with the regulation and pollution control of Wenbao River to highlight the tropical scenery of Zhanjiang. On this basis, more than 600 kinds of ornamental flowers are selected, among which some are particularly rare, highlighting the urban beauty of Zhanjiang flowers. In the park, five relief sculptures are carved, including Donghai dragon dance, Suixi lion dance, Wuchuan piaose, Lianjiang Eagle dance and Leizhou stone dog, which reflect Zhanjiang red soil culture.

In recent years, Zhanjiang municipal government has gone to Australia, Jiaodong Peninsula, southwest and many other cities to learn from others' successful experience in building parks. Every park you go to can see a vivid education base, which is exactly what Zhanjiang lacks in building parks. Referring to Guangzhou Pearl River Park and Hong Kong Wetland Park, Nanguo tropical garden strives to make the park an educational base. There is a shade botanical garden in the garden, which is the largest in Guangdong in terms of area. In addition to local varieties, many of the flowers are imported from other places. After the opening of the park, Zhanjiang citizens can enjoy many shade plants they have never seen before.
