Title
Hi,
I was trying to translate a article title,it says 'a freeway is surrounding the city.it's green.it has a lots of chinese elecments all along the road.'
what I said above is not exact the word, but mostly it's the digest.
So I came up with
'Freeways - greening the city,steeped in culture'
Is that OK?
also I don't know where the word 'surrounding' should be putted in. without it ,it looks like something is missing.
would you please help me out here?

Yes. But I am not sure whether you are looking for a better phrasing of these sentences-- 'A freeway is surrounding the city. It's green. It has a lots of Chinese elements all along the road.', which would be something like this--
A freeway loops around the city. Lots of greenery has been planted and there is a Chinese motif to the utility poles and all the other structures along the
