CHENGDU, China, Dec. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
With the aim of creating a better living environment for residents, the
government of Wenjiang is attaching great importance to the construction of a
greenway, to upgrading its river ecological system and strengthening cultural
protection centered on Confucius Temple.
While Du Fu, a poet from the Tang Dynasty (618-907), described his view of
Chengdu, saying "framed by the window, the snow sits on the Xiling Snow
Mountain, where it's been for a thousand years".
The same scene can still be seen in Wenjiang district of Chengdu, thanks to
continuous government efforts to strengthen environmental protection.
Covering 277 square kilometers, Wenjiang is known as "golden Wenjiang" for its
mild climate, rivers and green spaces, and agricultural and industrial output.
Wenjiang is constructing a 698 km-long greenway system with the aim of
supporting rural revitalization and boosting industrial development in fields
like tourism, creativity, sports and leisure in the region.
The district government has hosted events such as an international marathon and
cycling races at the Beilin Greenway, part of the northern section of the
greenway, which has a length of 65 km.
Jiang'an River and Jinma River are two rivers that flow through Wenjiang. The
Wenjiang government has decided to upgrade areas along the two rivers to
promote cultural and tourism development. Public service facilities and wetland
parks will be created to enhance local living standards.
Lujia mud flat, was once a less developed part of Jinma River in Wenjiang, but
has been developed into a park. The park attracts nearly 1 million visitors
annually for activities such as cycling, jogging, sightseeing, taking photos
and camping.
Apart from creating new infrastructure and sceneries, Wenjiang has launched a
series of upgrade plans for old communities.
Tuanjie Lane, one of old lanes with century-long history, has retained its
traditional look after the upgrading process. Traditional cultural and
lifestyle elements such as stonework, tofu shops and old teahouses allow
visitors to experience an ancient Wenjiang.
Confucius Temple is a particular highlight that demonstrates Wenjiang's
history. The district government has decided to develop a cultural zone
centered around the temple.
Looking ahead, Wenjiang will promote cultural development so as to strengthen
interaction with residents and achieve higher goals in social and economic
development.
