Report on the massive duckweed bloom in the Qinhuai River, its ecological impact, and the city‑day evening celebration in Nanjing.
The article describes how large areas of the Qinhuai River have been covered by tiny green floating leaves, identified as duckweed (浮萍). Experts explain that while duckweed can improve water quality, its overgrowth depletes oxygen and threatens the river ecosystem, prompting authorities to plan removal operations.
The piece also covers other city news, including a traffic‑enforcement crackdown on illegal street vending, a community donation that provided a refrigerator for elderly residents, and the large‑scale City Day evening program that highlighted Nanjing’s cultural themes under the slogan “山水城林，博爱之都”.

The river surface was covered by floating plants called duckweed (浮萍).
Duckweed consumes large amounts of nutrients and oxygen, which can lead to water quality deterioration and harm other aquatic life.
Water authorities are planning to organize a rapid removal (打捞) of the floating plants.
