Residents in Zhanjiang's Chikan district will soon have access to Dongju Park, a large comprehensive urban park for enjoying communication, entertainment and sports activities.

The project, included in Zhanjiang's urban greening plan, is an important part of the city's ecological and urban landscape system, according to the Zhanjiang Urban Administration Bureau.
