On the second floor of the library, a sea of pink blossoms outside the window forms a harmonious scene with readers.

"The library opened last year. This is its first spring," said Gao Huan, an official of the district, adding that there are currently more than 600 red plum trees in the park, of which 106 can be found around the library.
John Edwards, the UK trade commissioner for China, praised Chongqing over its rise as a burgeoning center in intelligent manufacturing.
