Beijing will be in full bloom for next month's national day celebration, with gardeners arranging flower beds along Chang'an Avenue in the heart of the Chinese capital.

The display comprises 60 categories of flower to celebrate the 60th birthday of the People's Republic of China. About 20 three-dimensional flower beds will sprout up along Chang'an Avenue during this month. The five million pots of flowers intend to reflect the economic development in the city over the past 60 years.
