Zhongshan is a real eco-friendly and livable city and it presents a picturesque city scene when the grand Wugui Mountains and the clear Qijiang River are seen here.

Zhongshan was awarded the honor of “National Garden City” in 1996 and the “United Nation Habitat Award” in 1997.

During the eleventh five-year plan, the tree coverage rate increased from 22.6% in 2005 to 25.7% in 2009 and public green area per capita increased from 7 m2 to 12 m2. It is expected that the forest coverage rate, tree coverage rate and public green area per capita will reach 19.4%, 26.3% and 14 m2 respectively in Zhongshan in 2015.

In order to expand the urban green space for the citizens, Zhongshan will invest 1.065 billion yuan to establish a city with largest green coverage this year.

This is Zhongshan, a city of happiness and ecology, a city where social civilization and ecological civilization, human and nature combine harmoniously.
