Guangzhou "Embraces" Bicycle Lanes?

It's been almost a year since the publication of this China Daily article, "City embraces bicycle-friendly planning (sic)." Writer Zhan Lisheng notes there are "1 million cars and about 800,000 bicycles in this city of 12 million" so city authorities plan to "reopen or set up bicycle lanes." Off hand, I don't recall any bicycle lanes. Maybe near China Plaza (中华广场Zhonghuaguangchang)? Does anyone else know of any roads with bicycle lanes in Guangzhou?
