East China’s Jiangsu province has given full play to ecological conservation in recent years by restoring and repairing the ecological landscape along the Yangtze River so as to rev up economic transformation and upgrading and high-quality development of the regional economy.
On both sides of the Yangtze River embankment in Zhenjiang New Area, the trees planted this spring along the embankment are 25 kilometers long from north to south.
This section of the Yangtze River used to be a weedy beach. On windy and rainy days, the embankment was even muddier, let alone the safety of the embankment.
The local government allocated 35 million yuan to plant trees, red maple, purple leaf plum, and oleander to come up with a dyke and bank protection landscape forest belt within two years.
Binjiang Development Zone in Jiangning District, Nanjing, has demolished sand and gravel wharves and yards to create a unique green ecological park.
Haimen City has carried out water-tolerant and salt-tolerant tree species selection and configuration trials in the demonstration forest along the Yangtze River.
Since last year, 8 cities along the Yangtze River have increased 298.2 thousand mu of greenery belt, including more than 26 thousand acres within 500 meters of the Yangtze River.
