Beijing aims to become a world-leading ecological (生态的) city within the seven years leading up to the 2008 Olympic Games, in order to fulfill the city’s “Green Olympics” promise according to government officials.

Thanks to the progress of tree planting campaigns (运动) in recent years, the city’s three first green steps---mountain forest, plain forests and urban (市区) forests----have begun to take shape.

Beijing added 2,866 hectares (公顷) of green land this year to its urban forest areas and its green belt, which surrounds the city’s urban areas. In the past two years, Beijing’s green areas expanded greatly, with more than 5,500 hectares of new green land creased--- almost the total amount of green areas in the period.

For many Beijing residents(居民), dreams of living in a green areas are becoming a reality. “ We will spare no effort to add more green space to the capital, and have set a target (目标) to build more gardens in downtown areas, “ said one official.

Governments at all levels in the city put more than 700 million yuan (US$84 million) to increase its green space this year, which doubles the money provided last year. To improve the environment (环境) in the countryside areas around the capital, Beijing government launched (发动) a tree planting project late  last year, aiming to change areas along five rivers and 10 motorways into green heavens. More than million yuan (US$12 million) has been invested (投资)into the project, expected to be finished within three to four years.
