The renovation, which is expected to last for one year, includes space expansion, floor decoration, afforestation, landscape lighting and parking lot construction.

Located in the center of the Lanzhou City, the square is now a business district covering a total area of 92,172 square meters.

Originally built in 1968, it has been reconstructed for three times with planted lawns and newly-constructed shopping malls.

The renovation of this time will cover a total area of 120,900 square meters and create 750 more parking places with a planned investment of 1 billion yuan.
