Technology contributes to blooming spectacle

The Chinese capital has come up with its most elaborate floral display yet to celebrate this year's 69th birthday of the People's Republic of China with up-to-date technologies.

The Beijing Gardening and Greening Bureau unveiled the decoration plan on Sept 14, saying that high-technology applications such as 3D modeling were adopted in the making of the flower beds.

The huge flower basket that is the centerpiece in Tian'anmen Square features a more three-dimensional, complex and elaborate display nowadays thanks to advances in gardening technology and the country's development, said Jie Jun, director of the bureau's afforestation division.
