In the Mid-Autumn Festival of 2016, Typhoon "Meranti" made landfall in Xiamen.
The green belts along the city roads were directly destroyed, more than half gone.
The people of Xiamen have an indelibly deep impression of that year's Mid-Autumn Festival.
The greenery along the roads was gone, including many of the Cangtian Great Trees.
Many households had shattered glass.
The typhoon ripped away balconies, and torrential rain drenched entire living rooms.
Even the Xiamen people, no strangers to typhoons, had to marvel at nature's terrifying force.
Floodwaters surged, collapsing three national treasure level covered bridges, Xuezha Bridge, Wenchong Bridge, and Wenxing Bridge, located more than five hundred kilometers away.
After the typhoon, the people of Xiamen regained their greenery and life one tree and one piece of glass at a time.
