Mini Floats Set to Highlight National Day Flower Parade in Beijing
Mini floats decorated with flowers in the shape of cartoon characters glided through the Beijing Garden of World Flowers on Thursday in a rehearsal for the upcoming National Day holiday celebrations.
The flower parade rehearsal, held just two days before the start of China's week-long National Day holiday, featured floats decorated to depict Donald Duck, Finding Nemo, Winnie the Pooh and Shaun the Sheep.
All of the characters were made with common plants such as chrysanthemums, ferns, bougainvilleas and zinnias.
According to the organizer, this year marks the first time for the parade to feature mini floats and for the floats to be decorated with cartoon characters.
Lin Qiaoling, general designer of the float parade for the 2016 National Day, said the mini floats - measuring 3.7 meters long, 1.8 meters wide and 2 meters high - aim to allow closer interaction with children.
We have added some environmental protection elements to the parade this year. [The floats] are covered in some colorful grass powders made from plant waste at our branch and leaf processing factories. This makes the colors more bright and vivid, and environmentally friendly, said Lin.
As the floats moved forward during the rehearsal, Egyptian tambourine and Hawaiian dance performances were also shown to the public.
Some staff played the part of magicians and clowns, handing out candies and flowers to visitors, and dancing and taking photos with them.
Flowers and plants form the character of our garden, so all the visitors will see our mobile greenhouse filled with our gardening and flower products. We also have interactive programs like DIY gardening, DIY pottery and DIY flower arrangement, said Lin.
As well as celebrating the National Day holiday, the parade will also help to publicize the Beijing International Horticultural Expo 2019.

Rooftop gardening revolution in Beijing
The hanging gardens, not of Babylon but Beijing.
Every morning, Zhang Guichun starts his day taking care of his vegetables and plants in his rooftop garden.
The 56-year-old has astonished the local community with his organic hanging garden on the roof his traditional courtyard home in southern Beijing.
His 80-square-meters of rooftop is home to some 30 varieties of vegetable and fruit, including pumpkins, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet bell peppers and melons.
This is my hanging garden. Look, this is my small world. I want to have all kinds of vegetables around my garden, and that would be really attractive, says Zhang.
Zhang started planting vegetables in 2007 on the roof of his two-floor courtyard home, which is two miles away from the Temple of Heaven in southern Beijing.
He says he didn't want to plant vegetables to eat, instead, he wanted to make the garden a place for neighbours to have fun together.
Zhang is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and after about three years of testing he developed his own fertilizer recipe based on his knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.
His organic fertilizer helps his vegetables grow and Zhang is very proud of his chemical-free garden.
My garden is totally free of chemicals and fertilizers. It is organic, and I use Chinese traditional medicine to help vegetables grow, this is genuinely healthy and organic, Zhang says.
Zhang has applied for a patent for his organic fertilizer with traditional Chinese medicine as an ingredient, and he is hoping to get a certificate very soon.
Zhang quickly became a celebrity in his neighborhood after his rooftop garden had a bumper harvest and several of his neighbours were even inspired to start their own rooftop vegetable gardens.
But there aren't many residents creating gardens up to Zhang's high-standards.
Still, as rooftop gardening gets more popular in the city, some commercial buildings are also joining the green-fingered revolution.
Hongqiao Pearl Market is one of the most famous tourist markets in southern Beijing, and the building managers are turning their rooftop into a garden.
Plants and flowers are grown on the rooftop garden, which is open to tourists and customers of the market.
Tan Tianying is the head of Beijing's Rooftop Landscaping Association.
Established in 2006, the semi-governmental organisation provides technical training for people who are interested in rooftop gardening and drafts regulations that can promote the hobby.
Tan believes rooftop gardening is an effective weapon to protect Beijing's worsening environment:
As the urbanisation and industrialisation goes faster, cities get more polluted and warmer, and rooftop landscaping is part of charity efforts to protect the environment in cities, and it is an efficient measure to curb the worsening environment, .
Beijing has seen new waves of heavy pollution and unprecedented heat waves in recent years.
The choking exhaust gasses from 2.5 millions cars are a major contributor to the worsening environment.
Tian says going green on the rooftops is the most effective tool to protect the environment in Bejing and the government has been very supportive in promoting rooftop landsclaping in recent years, however, his association faces big difficulties in promoting rooftop gardening in Beijing.
Major doubts about rooftop gardens range from a lack of horticultural knowledge to safety fears.
Statistics from the association says Beijing has 1.3 million square metres of green roofs with some of the area employed for growing produce and other areas for purely ornamental purposes.
However the percentage is still too low.
City planners in Beijing hope to increase the green rooftop area by 10 percent every year, Tan says
