"I can feel the festive atmosphere already, after seeing these wonderful flowers," Ms. Shen said on Sept 26.

She goes through the South Roundabout Island of Ronghua Road in Beijing E-Town every day, and was surprised to find that the garden in the roundabout had been replaced with new flowers. 

Red, yellow, and orange flowers are arranged in the pattern of ribbons, making the semi-circular flower bed in the center of the roundabout extraordinarily beautiful.

As the National Day approaches, key areas and road sections of Beijing E-Town have been dressed up.

In the center of the square, flowers of different colors are assembled into various color blocks, forming two circles inside and outside in a square shape.
