Recently, the Fangshan District located in the suburbs of Beijing "dressed up" with hundreds of colorful cosmos flowers blooming by the street.

These beautiful flowers were planted as part of an environmental protection project launched by the government of Fangshan District, in order to improve the local environment and air quality, according to local reports.
