The flower corridor is blooming with distinctive ornamental floss silk trees (ceiba speciosa), which have exotic white, pink, or red flowers. It is 13.6 km (8.5 miles) long from the Hengqin Bridge to Gang'ao Avenue. Three camping sites, recreational facilities, four miniature exhibits, and flower fields were added this year.

The 15-yuan ($2) ticket gives visitors an unlimited one-day bus pass with the following stops: Gongbei Checkpoint Bus Terminal, Lanpu community, Huafa New City, and Wanzai Tourist Terminal, Rest Stations 1, 2, and 3, Mangzhou Wetland Park, and Rest Station 5. 

The buses depart every hour from 9 am to 3 pm from Gongbei Checkpoint Bus Terminal. Returns are from Rest Station 5 at 11 am and 12:30, 1:30, 3, 4, and 5 pm.

The north line runs between Shangchong Long-Distance Bus Passenger Terminal in Qianshan and Tangjiawan's Peninsula (Bandao) Rest Station Park, while the south line commutes between Gongbei Checkpoint Bus Terminal and Sea & Sky (Haitian) Park.
