SHAOWU, China, May 30, 2022 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/--

From May 18th to 20th, representatives of more than a dozen of national,

provincial and municipal media outlets participated in the media publicity tour

in Shaowu, Nanping, Fujian province.

Themed  "Shaowu is a Great Place", the event was held by the Publicity

Department of the CPC Shaowu Municipal Committee. During the tour, they

witnessed the high-quality development of green economy in Shaowu and the

city's rural revitalization empowered by the fusion of tourism and cultural

industries.

Over the past 20 years, Shaowu has achieved remarkable results in reform and

development. For the new era, Shaowu puts forward the "1123" development

strategy. Shaowu is planning to build a hundreds-billion yuan green industry

cluster of new materials, forest products, cultural tourism and healthcare, and

also create a state-level economic development zone, laying a solid foundation

for the city to deliver the idea of "Shaowu is a Great Place".

A special plan to build a "beautiful waterside town" has been included in

Shaowu's newly revised overall urban plan. The city shifts from the traditional

idea of water just as a resource to be conserved to that of making water

fulfill multiple purposes, with a focus on enhancing the people's sense of gain

and making water part of industrial development. This further contributes to

the idea that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets".

Shaowu has taken well-targeted steps across the city, taking advantage of its

cultural tourism resources. In line with its "Tourism + Culture" strategy, it

has created a series of characteristic towns such as Jinkeng Township, Heping

Town (a famous historical and cultural town), Yinghua (Cherry Blossoms) Town,

and Sports Town. The city has been empowering rural revitalization through the

fusion of tourism and cultural industries.

Today, Shaowu is known for its great people, its revolutionary traditions, its

green ecology, its industrial development, and its openness and civilization.

In the future, Shaowu will make Shaowu better known and heard across the

country, and improve the quality of its green development, so as to live up to

the reputation of "Shaowu is a Great Place".
