Guardrails along Chang'an Avenue, which passes Tian'anmen Square in the heart of Beijing, turned golden on May 9, 2014. The new railings are coated with weather resistant fluorocarbon paint, used largely in car production. Compared with ordinary white-painted railings, they are stronger, anti-corrosive and if run into by cars bounce back into shape.[Photo/china.com.cn]
