With the 16th Asian Games to officially take place at the heart of Guangdong province in the People's Republic of China, the city of Guangzhou experienced a major facelift and an improving environment as it prepares to host some of Asia's greatest athletes.

Guangzhou takes the preparatory work for the 16th Asian Games as a rare opportunity to promote its economic development and social progress.

It combines "urban change" with "welcoming the Asian Games" so as to speed up the urban construction and environmental improvement.

The slogan "Greeting the Asian Games while creating a new life" was raised by the Secretary of Guangdong Party, Wang Yang, and proposed taking the Asian Games in Guangzhou as an important platform to create new life for the people in China's third largest city.
