Chengdu people walk to express concerns

CHENGDU: About 200 people here in the capital of Sichuan province held a "group walk" on Sunday afternoon to express their concerns over the environmental impact the construction of two plants may have on their city.

The residents took a two-hour leisurely walk from Nine-Hole Bridge to Wangjiang Pavilion in the eastern part of the city. Both are historical landmarks.

Sun Wenhua, a middle-aged driver, told China Daily the walkers did not carry posters, nor did they shout slogans.
