The Urumqi Economic and Technological Development Zone (Toutunhe district) launched the autumn greening park project on Oct 24.

A total of 77,000 trees and shrubs were sent to street offices, district management committees, troops, schools and enterprises.

In the Jinqiao Road of Toutunhe district, the teachers and students of the Jinqiao Campus of the Xinjiang Arts University, who received the saplings, began planting on the hillsides of the campus.

"This is the new campus of the students. Although we are about to graduate from the campus, it is extremely meaningful to be able to participate in tree planting and greening the campus," said one of the students.

Xue Jiazheng, deputy secretary of the Party committee of Xinjiang Arts University, said that the school's hillside has a total of 200 mu (13.33 hectares) of land and 1,500 teachers and students have participated in the greening project.
