The flag is also seen in the short film (news report) on the page. The date of
report is 4 November 2007.
The fiag has five red vertical bars of different length (the one in the centre being highest,
the two at each end diminishing) are accompanied by three green stripes starting
beside the bars, turning and then sustaining said bars (the green stripes
resemble race tracks).

The flag was designed by Wang Guolun (王国伦).
The symbol on the flag is made
up of three green lines and five red ones.
The green lines are in the shape
of C, which stands for ‘chengshi’ – the Chinese word for ‘city’. They also
symbolise running tracks and city streets.
The red lines symbolise high-rises
in cities.
