Qiaosong Garden, a pocket park featuring a Song Dynasty (960-1279) garden style in Guanshanhu district, Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, opened to the public on Aug 20.The park is located at the intersection of Bihai South Road and Xingzhu Road.

近日，位于观山湖区碧海南路与兴筑路交叉口的宋代美学古典园林式“口袋公园”——“乔松园”向公众开放。

Since March this year, the urban gardening and greening construction management office of Guanshanhu has responded to the needs of the public by visiting and soliciting opinions from residents in the area.

今年3月，区绿化处通过走访、征求辖区居民意见，因地制宜、依山建园，以宋代美学古典园林式建造“乔松园”。

A pocket park is characterized by its small scale, nearby location and dynamic space. Since the initiation of the "city of 1,000 parks" initiative in 2015, Guiyang has been promoting the construction of pocket parks, with over 100 already established.The dream of "seeing green within 300 meters and a park within 500 meters" for residents is gradually being realized.

“口袋公园”也称袖珍公园，具有规模小、距离近、空间活等特征，它能进一步拓展市民的生态活动空间。自2015年推进“千园之城”建设以来，贵阳市积极推进“口袋公园”建设，目前已达上百个，市民出行“300米见绿，500米见园”目标逐步实现。

The opening of Qiaosong Garden has improved the living environment of nearby residents, providing them with a new place to relax and unwind. It is also a new initiative in the urban gardening and greening construction of Guanshanhu.

乔松园的建成开园，不仅极大改善了周边居民的生活环境，为市民们提供了一个休闲娱乐的新去处，更是观山湖区城市园林绿化建设的利民新举措。开园当天，许多路过此地的市民都会忍不住进园走走、看看。

Nearby residents said that the pocket park not only provides them with a great place for leisure and exercise, but also adds some beautiful scenery to the city.

附近居民纷纷表示，这座“口袋公园”不仅让周边居民们有了休闲锻炼的好去处，更是给城市增添了一道亮丽的新风景线。

The urban gardening and greening construction management office of Guanshanhu will continue to focus on residents' needs, and transform roads, residential areas, street corners and other idle spaces to achieve the vision of experiencing greenery at every step and beautiful scenery in every direction.

据悉，接下来，观山湖区城市园林绿化建设管理处将继续从市民需求角度出发，持续对道路节点、小区周边、街角等“边角地”、闲置地进行科学规划，实现“出门见绿、移步见景”的美好愿景。
