Park, road, river, bridge coming together -- Doumen

Final touches are being made to the 56,000-sq-m (14-acre) Doumen Civic Park before it opens later this month.

The 28-million yuan ($4.4 million) project is nestled at the foot of Jianfeng Mt. The fresh air there will help to restore energy, preparing goers for cultural, leisure, fitness, and entertainment activities.

There are landscape structures, flower trellises, stages, weatherproof corridors, and workout facilities. The park also has a 1-km (half-mile) walking path. The park supports the nearby Zhufeng International Innovation & Exhibition centers, according to a project head.

Infrastructure in Doumen is also to be enhanced by Dongdi Road in the Baijiao section, which is to open to traffic by the end of this year. Huangyang River's east dike is also being upgraded to facilitate water conservancy. Furthermore, the 20-km (12-mile) Xianghai Bridge will be completed in 2020 with smoother connections to its western and eastern ends.
