"This flower box is so beautiful, I'll take a picture later!" In December, Meizhou did not appear cold due to the arrival of winter. Flower boxes with urban ci elements, "civilized" street lights on the parapet of the bridge... The street scenery of Meizhou Urban Area frequently brushes the screen in the WeChat circle of friends, and the "embellishment" of civilization around them evokes the citizens' yearning for a better life in their hearts.
From urban and rural environmental improvement to the construction of "beautiful Meizhou beautiful home", Meizhou focuses on the construction of beautiful urban areas, beautiful towns and beautiful villages, and carries out eight major actions of beautiful ecological improvement, beautiful garden city construction, beautiful cell quality improvement, beautiful economy cultivation and promotion of the "two beauty" of the whole people. The urban and rural living environment in Meizhou, Su District, has been improved, and it is becoming more and more livable and suitable for work and travel.
The water is greener, the sky is bluer, and the city is more beautiful. In this "beautiful" process, Meizhou takes culture as the background to create a street and a scene, depicting a new blueprint of "two beauty" Meizhou that is "suitable for both new ecology and economic and environmental protection of the sky, blue water and green".

Add street lights to light up the "light of civilization" for urban and rural areas
As night falls, the flow of vehicles to and from the city and the countryside is endless. On the road from the tunnel under the bay of Sanjiao Town in Meijiang District to the town of Changsha wei, a street lamp illuminated the way home for the masses.
In July this year, the 6.5-kilometer Changsha Line and the 4.5-kilometer-long Chengbei Line completed the installation of street lights, solving the problem of "no lights on the road" on the local road for 20 years. While the 337 set of lights lit up the "light of safety" for the masses, it also lit up the "road of civilization" for Meizhou.
Urban civilization should go hand in hand with beautiful countryside. Since last year, Meixian District has begun to install street lights for 111 roads in urban villages, with a total investment of 6.93 million yuan; according to the situation reflected by the citizens, Meijiang District has installed street lights on the laneways of Fuller Garden and Wuzhou Neighborhood Committee, and completed the replacement of 70-watt LED lights in some urban and rural sections to 200-watt LED lights.
"Combined with the creative work, we also optimized the design of the shape of the light box in the 'Two Beauty' operation." The relevant person in charge of the Meizhou Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau said.
At nightfall, on both sides of the Meizhou Bridge, rows of street lights with the slogans of "jointly building a civilized city, sharing the civilization of the guest capital" and "participating in the action, two United States benefiting from the same" gradually lit up. "We have installed more than 700 such light boxes on important urban arterial roads and bridges such as Jiaying Road, Meishui Road, Dongshan Bridge, Xiulan Bridge and so on." The person in charge introduced.
The lights printed with the slogan of civilization not only beautify the city, but also make the concept of civilization more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After dinner, there were more citizens walking on the embankment. An old man took his grandson's hand and walked under the light box, and the child's eyes were attracted by the glittering light, and his mouth involuntarily read the words on it. "Grandpa, what is civilization?" "Civilization is that you don't throw confetti and don't run into the road..." the old man patiently explained.
"This is also an important channel for us to publicize the 'Two Americas' action to the society, so as to expand the public's awareness and awareness of this activity, and set off a climax of the 'Two Beauty' action in the city." The relevant person in charge of the office of the "two United States" command in Meizhou City said.
From spring to winter ▶▷
All the way to create a year-round evergreen pattern Meizhou
In Meixian District Jincheng Avenue, plum blossoms, small leaf ziwei, safflower rhododendron balls and other green shrubs make the city like a "new look"; in the south park road, autumn maple, cherry blossoms, phoenix trees and other plants compete for glory; Meijiang District Guiyu Park, Hakka Park, Qinyang Wetland Park and other green areas, with wild peonies, plum blossoms, jacaranda and other theme flowers to make Meizhou's winter flowers bloom undefeated, so that it is not lively...
Step by step, everywhere style. "We generally pair it with layered green groups and carefully select flowering varieties to plant in order to achieve the effect of evergreen all year round and flowers in all seasons." The relevant person in charge of the Meixian District Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau said.
The environment is the people's livelihood, the green mountains are beautiful, and the blue sky is also happiness. Focusing on the requirements of the "Meizhou City Urban Flower Landscape Construction Overall Concept Planning (2019-2023)" and "Meizhou City Urban Flower Landscape Construction Key Project Detailed Planning", the relevant departments of Meizhou further shape the urban image of "Colorful Guest Capital" through the combination of different varieties of trees, shrubs and ground covers.
In accordance with the design concept of "one road, one tree, one street and one scene", Meizhou promotes the construction of urban infrastructure and landscaping in major landscape nodes such as Jiangnan New Town and Meixian New Town and urban entrances and exits, and strives to improve the urban living environment and enhance urban taste. "In larger festivals such as National Day and Spring Festival, the flower landscape arrangement of different themes can not only create a good festive atmosphere, but also help to show the image of Meizhou city," said Chen Changmao, director of the Landscape Institute of the former Meizhou Urban Planning and Design Institute.
Around the ramp at the eastern end of the Guangzhou Bridge, the originally exposed plots of land have been draped in "green clothing". From the air, the green space surrounded by the left and right ramps is like two gardens, reflecting the clear water of the Meijiang River. As an important landscape node of The Qinyang Peninsula, the landscaping around the Guangzhou Bridge ramp also brings beauty to the citizens. "Every morning, I go for a walk in the nearby park. The air here is fresh and green, so comfortable. Citizen Liang Lijuan said.
"We have also implemented green belt lifting on both sides of the triangle disc to the lower bay tunnel road." The relevant person in charge of the Meijiang District Housing and Construction Bureau told reporters that in the next step, the district plans to start the S223 line landscape improvement project, the Kedu Avenue and the passenger extension line greening improvement project and the ring road greening improvement project, and invest about 7.5 million yuan to create a flower landscape of the urban corridor.

Incorporate plum blossom ci elements to shape urban culture
"Mom, there are a lot of new 'big pots' here, the colors are so beautiful, and there are patterns on them!" On the sidewalk of Meicheng Hundred Flowers Island, a little girl was attracted by the new scenery of the city, stopped running, pointed to the flower boxes with different shapes on both sides of the road like discovering a new continent, and called out to her mother behind her.
The new scenery discovered by the little girl is the greening renovation and upgrading project recently implemented by the Meijiang District Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau in response to the "two beauty" action carried out by Meizhou City.
For a long time, Meijiang 2nd Road in Baihuazhou has been a relatively busy road in Meizhou' urban area, but citizens rarely pay attention to the scenery on both sides when they pass by, because on both sides of the road, there used to be only a mess of bushes and large banyan trees.
In December last year, Meizhou carried out the "two beauty" action with the goal of fighting for 60 days and using "embroidery" kung fu and craftsman spirit to build Meizhou into "clean, refreshing, neat and tidy, and beautiful and bright". Different groups in the city have participated in it, and through purification, greening, beautification, and lighting, the urban and rural environment has been greatly improved.
Being clean is just the first step. "Meizhou City Launched "Beautiful Meizhou & Middot; The "Better Home" three-year action plan (2019-2021) points out in the realization of the goal, "adhere to the culture as the soul, keep the nostalgia and ancient rhyme, and build a good new style of civilization." "Playing the "cultural card" well by carrying out the action of improving the quality of beautiful cells is also an important part of the "two beauty" action.
"We have taken the Meijiang Second Road Greening Renovation and Upgrading Project as a pilot project and gradually promoted the overall improvement of Meijiang Avenue. The ground shrubs on both sides of the road should be cleaned up and permeable bricks and flower boxes or pots should be laid. Ye Yuanhua, deputy director of the Meijiang District Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, introduced that by improving the urban landscape, it reflects the beauty of the urban environment and the beauty of humanities.
Today, on both sides of the road of Baihuazhou, unique flower boxes bloom with begonias, poinsettia and other plants. The "body" of each flower box and flower pot is also painted with the Meizhou city ci pattern, which makes people shine. In September this year, Meizhou City CI was officially released, which is not only the excavation and refinement of the city's historical and cultural accumulation, the foundation for building a city brand and disseminating the city brand, but also a management tool for modern cities.
"Next, we also incorporated urban ci elements into the urban lighting design. At the end of the year, we will hang festive red lanterns on Jiangbei Old Street and paint the city ci on the lanterns to create a lively New Year atmosphere. Ye Yuanhua said. At that time, the "fragrance" of plum blossoms will drift to the streets and alleys, which is conducive to promoting the urban spirit and culture of "plum blossom fragrance from bitter cold" to better integrate into the development of Meizhou.
