From Nov. 1, the Shenzhen International Garden and Flower Expo
Park in Futian District will be open free to the public,
yesterday's Daily Sunshine reported.
The number of visitors is expected to reach 25,000 when the park
stops charging an admission fee, officials with the municipal urban
administration bureau were quoted as saying.
The park will be open from 6 a.m. to 10 PM daily. Visitors
won't be allowed to enter after 9 PM Security guards will still be
on duty 24 hours a day.
Buildings inside the park will close at 6 PM.
A total of 37 more surveillance cameras will be placed at
various locations in the park, and these will be connected to the
electronic surveillance system of the Futian District Public
Security Subbureau.
To attract more visitors to the park, the park management plans
to build at least 10 more gardens, each dedicated to a single
flower like crape myrtle, azalea or tea plant.
The park authority has stopped issuing annual cards. Card
holders can get refunds until Jan. 31 next year.
