Vladivostok, November 6 /Xinhua/ — Vladivostok plans to add lilacs to its landscaping, following the example of Harbin. Vladivostok Mayor Konstantin Shestakov recently announced this in an interview with the Vostok-Media portal.
The mayor of Vladivostok stated that the official symbol of Harbin is the lilac. At some point, a decision was made to utilize lilacs as much as possible in the city's landscaping. Today, specialists say they are using 46 varieties of lilac, offering a wide variety. In large parks and throughout the city, lilacs have displaced other trees, allowing local residents to enjoy their wonderful fragrance during the blooming season.
According to K. Shestakov, Vladivostok should take a similar step—not imitate, but incorporate lilac into the city's landscaping. The city administration has entered into an agreement with the Harbin mayor's office. Work is currently underway with Harbin municipal nurseries to bring lilacs, along with other trees and shrubs from their Chinese counterparts, to the Russian city.
