Besides, in choosing plants, we mainly chose the local nursery stock, arbores such as osmanthus fragrans, robinia pseudoacacia, cinnamomum camphora, photinia fraseri and magnolia gradiflora. And we also chose shrubs such as oleander, lagerstroemia indica, photinia fraseri ball and sophora xanthantha.”

  features of a garden city. In the respect of landscape construction, we fully take  advantage of the mountains and rivers.
  The integrated reconstructing works of Three Gorges Airport Road is part of municipal roads project, whereas there are some restraining factors. Firstly, along the road stand many pipelines of power and water supplies, correspondence, air supply ect; therefore, all of the pipelines have been moved and buried in order to ensure the regular supplies for the airport and residents around. .
