Quzhou in East China's Zhejiang province has been decorated with numerous pocket parks, offering its residents places to rest from urban life.

The concept of a pocket park originated in New York in 1963, and refers to an area of small green land, gardens and sports places which are built on a city's waste and vacant land.

Over the past few year, the Chinese city has transformed its waste and vacant lands into beautiful small scale landscapes, which adds more recreational places for surrounding residents and has gained increasingly more popularity among them.
