CHENGDU, China, Oct. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/

A park city under the snowy mountains, Chengdu in Sichuan province adheres to a

new model of urban development and continuously improves the ecological

well-being of its citizens.

Cycling along the Chengdu Jincheng Greenway has become one of the most popular

outdoor leisure projects in Chengdu this year. Built along the Chengdu Ring

Expressway, it has a total length of 100 kilometers.

Chengdu, a megacity with a population of more than 21 million, is using "green

mountains, greenways, water system and parks" as its framework to build

large-scale ecological corridors and high-quality green space throughout the

region.

The city is constructing an urban interface that sees fields through the window

and creates the beauty of the urban pattern that integrates the city and the

park.

Longquan Mountain, located in the east of Chengdu, has been transformed into a

super-large urban forest park with a total area of about 1,275 square

kilometers through artificial afforestation as well as restoration of degraded

forests. The park has become the "green heart" of Chengdu.

In Longmen Mountain in the west of Chengdu, the Chengdu area of the Giant Panda

National Park with a total area of 1,459 sq km has restored 4,528 hectares of

giant panda habitats by adopting a low-interference model.

The Tianfu Greenway system with a planned total length of 16,900 km is densely

woven into a network, gradually connecting the city's green water system,

forests, lakes and rivers as well as rural areas to form a complete ecological

network.

The construction of the park city aims to build gardens and increase greenery,

solve the problem of urban spatial layout and realize ecological civilization

and balanced economic and social development.

During the construction of ecological projects, Chengdu has organically

implanted high-quality life scenarios and new consumption scenarios to promote

the transformation of ecological value into economic and social value and

create more sense of gain and happiness for the general public.

As a State-approved low-carbon pilot city, the Chengdu city government has

accelerated the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social

development, guided by the realization of the country's "dual carbon" goal.

Chengdu has accelerated the construction of a green transport system in recent

years. The operating mileage of rail transit in Chengdu has reached 558

kilometers, ranking fourth in the country.
