"Witnessing the torch pass through Guangzhou is a great opportunity to support the Olympic Games,why not go? I will go to Beijinglu to witness this great event because Beijing lu symbolizes the path to Beijing."
Because The 15th Asian Games Doha's torch relay was held in Guangzhou last year, most citizens are psychologically prepared to deal with traffic control during the days of torch relay, and hope the traffic control plan can be more precise.
