1.Are public gardens very important in China?
I assume yes. Public gardens may help to purify the air as well as provide us with a good place to stroll in. After tiring work or study, we feel at ease in the garden with all kinds of flowers in the eyesight. Also the garden is a symbol of local “green-belts”.
2.Are there many public gardens in China?
Yes, there are many parks in China. These parks are with different themes. For instance, there is a botanical park in the outskirt of the city, a big city park with a natural lake and many trees, an amusement park, a water park with many water activities and also many small community parks. The city is more beautiful for these parks.
