Summer never ends.

Diecast carnival takes place

The “Little Car Big Dream” Takara Tomy 100 Carnival, jointly organized by toy brand Takara Tomy and The Place, is currently in full swing. 

The event radiates to the southern and northern wings of the shopping mall, upgrading the experience with stunning scenes, rich content, and fresh gameplay. 

Not only did it showcase over 1,000 Tomica diecast cars, but it also set up a fun parent-child interaction area and launched a special exhibition, leading diecast car fans to experience the century-old story behind the brand.

Ecological footprints along the way

The Changning Bureau of Ecology and Environment officially launched three E-Walk (Ecological Walk) routes to provide a more intuitive experience of the beauty of the ecological environment in the district. 

The routes run through the eastern, central, and western parts of Changning, connecting key spots featuring biodiversity conservation, clear water and blue sky, low-carbon, waste free city construction, and green lifestyle.

The three routes jointly form vivid green corridors that showcase the ecological charm of Changning.

From Gubei with love

Last weekend, the Hongqiao Gubei Art Festival opened at the New Hongqiao Central Garden. Art installations and wall paintings created by fashion and creative talent and young artists from home and abroad were showcased one after another. 

These works, themed “Love Duo,” explore the various forms and expressions of love through the power of art, adding colorful features and romantic atmosphere to the beautiful park.

Park features riverside view

Tianyuan Riverside Park starts from Furongjiang Road in the east and ends at Tianzhong Road in the west, with a total area of 34,500 square meters. 

The most prominent landmarks in the park are the Suzhou Creek Landscape Corridor that runs through the entire park and the Future Tower that offers beautiful views. 

Although the park is not large, it is a treasure trove for strolling, walk with kids, and taking photos.
