Parks in Cities in China Include the Nanning City Park with Mature Trees.

Much new development has taken place in recent years in the city of Nanning where the City park is one of the many attractions, and one of the reasons that Nanning is also known as the 'Green City'. Our first visit to Nanning was in 1990 when we visited an Ethnic Minorities Park, and from where we walked across a four lane road, that was almost deserted. The streets in Nanning are now as busy as the streets of any city in the developed world, with a constant stream of traffic, buses, motorbikes, cars, cars, cars, and cars! The City Park in Nanning is a peaceful oasis in a bustling city, where people can enjoy the views of flower beds, mature trees, and high spouting water fountains in a picturesque lake.

Ethnic Minorities
*****
As of 2006 , the total population of Nanning was 6.48 million, among which 2.45 million were urban residents after the adjustment of administrative divisions. Nanning is a city where Zhuang ethnic group live in compact communities, and also the only city in all the autonomous regions in China features a southern flavor, together with open coastal areas. Thirty-five ethnic groups live in compact communities in Nanning, including people of Zhuang, Han, Yao, Hui, Miao, Dong, and Man minorities, among these groups the Zhuang people make up 56.3% of the total population. There is little serious ethnic tension because most of these urbanised ethnic minorities are indistinguishable from China's majority Han ethnic group.

Nanning's tropical climate gives it an amazing amount of biodiversity. There are many species of animals and more than 3,000 species of plants. Its city flower is the Jaba flower, an evergreen shrub, and its city tree is almond tree which is regarded as the backbone tree used for greening and landscaping throughout the city.
