Adding luster to ‘beautiful home’ drive
Print Edition
To welcome the upcoming China International Import Expo, Jing’an has strengthened its “beautiful home” campaign to improve the environment.
District greenery officials have replanted parks, corner gardens and roadside floral displays to add the feeling of autumn with red Chinese characteristics. In the Pengpu Xincun Park, they have planted a blooming sea of pink grass — ideal for people wanting a romantic stroll.
To add some bounce to the somewhat drab Pengpu Xincun Subdistrict, residents from Yindu Yicun have painted the plain facades and staircases.
Inside the No. 94 building of the neighborhood, staircases were painted with flowers in bright colors, with the blooms “growing” up an adjacent wall. The handrails were painted in green and yellow to convey the feeling of nature.
“The designer provided a sketch, and our residents, both children and seniors, painted the staircases,” said Li Feng, Party chief of the neighborhood. “They are not just onlookers any longer. They are involved in a program that gives them a sense of belonging. And they will volunteer to maintain a pleasant local environment.”
In Linfen Road Subdistrict, many residential buildings stand very close to roads.
To make every building unique and improve the environment, mailboxes have been designed as roadside art installations. They are painted in colorful hues as part of a giant painting on the facades of buildings.
