China is building a vertical forest, a set of two buildings filled with an estimated 1,100 large- and medium-sized trees from 23 local species and more than 2,500 shrubs and plants, covering 60,000 square feet of plantable area. The project aims to combat the country's choking smog problem, clean oxygen, and enhance local biodiversity.
