After more than two months of systematic renovation, the Yuyuan Road greening and upgrading project has been fully completed recently. This century-old narrow street has undergone standardized renovation of tree holes along the way and optimized more than 10 landscape nodes. 

The intersection of Yuyuan Road and Jiangsu Road is one of the important nodes in this renovation. The intersection is close to the Metro station, with a large flow of people, and the characteristic small shops on Yuyuan Road are relatively concentrated. 

In order to brighten up this area, the renovation adopts a Mediterranean style floral landscape design, paired with characteristic plants such as Mediterranean hibiscus and frankincense, which not only lights up the entire area but also enhances the quality of the space for people to relax.

At the intersection of Yuyuan Road and Anxi Road, by combining scallions with Mexican feather grass, a simple landscape is created, complemented by seasonal plants such as panda violet and tea plum lollipops, enhancing the sense of layering. 

In addition, there is a lawn along the street here, connecting many shops. The renovation specifically created a slope with tree stumps, making it convenient for people to go to the shops.

The renovation around the Changning Maternal and Child Health Hospital is fully based on the opinions of surrounding residents. The disorderly and shaded seedlings in the green area have been removed, replaced by plants such as red leaf heather, beauty tea, feather maple, etc, combined with lawn and black volcanic rock, to construct a green space with rich layers, and also solve the problem of street seedlings blocking indoor lighting for residents.

At present, walking on Yuyuan Road, in the green shades along the way, each scenic spot is like a slowly unfolding spring painting.
