Guangzhou's Haizhu district has taken measures to make life more convenient for local residents, local media outlets reported on Sept 1.

A new footbridge across Jianghai Avenue in the district has been put into operation, connecting Biying Road and Shiliugang Road. It has cut down the travel time for those heading to destinations such as the TCM Integrated Hospital of Southern Medical University and Xinsui School.

Jiangnan residential area has welcomed a batch of new facilities for the children's playground, which include a slide and two rocking chairs. The old iron frame slide has been torn down due to safety issues. The playground has been covered with a safety pad to protect children in case they fall down.
