Recently, the groundbreaking ceremony for the second phase of the river improvement bid of the China-aided Ethiopian Riverbank Green Development Project was held in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, which is located on the East African plateau. The riverside green development project is China's first foreign-aided park project, undertaken by the China Communications First Public Security Bureau Group, integrating landscape, architecture, municipal administration, roads, water conservancy, and gardens.

The hyperboloid national flower podium is located in it, surrounded by string-shaped green belt flower beds, musical fountains and artificial lakes complement each other... The river bank that was once overgrown with weeds and piled up with domestic and industrial waste has undergone a transformation after only 11 months of construction. It has become the most functional and largest urban comprehensive square in Africa - Segel Park Friendship Square.

In order to revitalize the dilapidated and barren river, a Chinese company built a semi-underground one-stop sewage treatment plant, which is an innovative move in Ethiopia and even in East Africa. Ethiopia is short of water, and we all cherish the hard-won clean water. We are very grateful to Chinese engineers for their advanced water treatment system, which makes the city full of vitality. Moggia, operations manager of the Segar Park Service, said.

In Moggia's view, the riverside green development project has become an important driving force for the recovery of Addis Ababa's tourism industry. According to information released by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Ethiopia, Segar Park and its surrounding supporting facilities have quickly become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Addis Ababa after they were opened to the public.

Not only the citizens regard this place as the first choice for outdoor leisure and entertainment, but also many government celebrations are held here. We are all proud of this beautiful garden. Moggia said excitedly. Habu Tam, the coordinator of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Ethiopia, said that park landscape facilities, including the river bank green development project, have become an important starting point for Ethiopia to promote domestic tourism and an important part of the country's national tourism recovery strategic plan part.

The Riverside Green Development Project has also given wildlife a new home. Addis Ababa is the habitat of many wild animals, but the local dry season, which lasts eight months every year, brings great challenges to the survival of wild animals. For this reason, the riverside green development project designed artificial lakes at the beginning of planning. Now, even in the dry dry season, Addis Ababa's wildlife has a safe resting place, and nearly a hundred species of birds currently live here.

Whenever anyone asks about her work, she is always very proud. In Macy’s view, the riverbank green development project not only left Ethiopia with a green and beautiful comprehensive square, but also brought green and low-carbon construction concepts and professional technologies, and deeply rooted the green development concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature in Ethiopia.
