Celebration honoring triumph
The city of Beijing is adorned with a series of ten themed flower beds, constructed to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. These floral installations, which were unveiled in August 2025, are located along Chang'an Avenue and have been attracting a great deal of attention from local residents and tourists alike.
The flower beds were constructed by workers under the supervision of a team of architects, with the process being documented for future reference. The construction began on August 14, 2025, and was completed by mid to late August, according to various media outlets [1][2][3][4].
The flower beds, which are themed, blend historical remembrance with modern themes reflecting national rejuvenation and progress. The floral displays are a vibrant addition to Chang'an Avenue and have become a popular destination for visitors seeking artistic and commemorative significance [1][3][5].
The construction of the flower beds has caused temporary traffic disruptions on Chang'an Avenue, but the disruptions have not deterred the numerous visitors who come to see the installations. The flower beds are expected to remain in place until after the Victory Day parade scheduled for September 3, 2025, which marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the war.
The flower beds are a commemoration of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a significant event in Chinese history. The commemoration is being funded by a specific entity, although this information has not been made publicly available. The flower beds are a testament to the enduring spirit of the Chinese people and their resilience in the face of adversity.
