East China’s Jiangsu province has given full play to ecological conservation in recent years by restoring and repairing the ecological landscape so as to rev up economic transformation and upgrading and high-quality development of the regional economy.
In the past decades, Mr. Xu witnessed the damage of the riverside vegetation due to the reclamation of the lake and the setting up of factories.
The pollution of the Taihu Lake makes the water village in memory fade away.
This situation continued until ten years ago when people came to be aware of the preciousness of a beautiful Taihu Lake. A large-scale relocation of villages and factories went underway in the Gonghu Bay.
More than 6000 small factories have been shut down or relocated, giving rise to 570 hectares of ecological belt.
Today, along the shores of the Taihu Lake, the Suzhou Ecological Conservation Development Experimental Zone has taken shape with a total investment of 18 billion yuan.
Wuxi is constructing the Taihu Bay Science and Technology Innovation Belt to gather global science and innovation resources, focusing on high-tech technologies such as integrated circuits, sensor networks, and aero engines.
Changzhou is creating a micro resort in the Yangtze River Delta by relying on the natural resources of the Taihu Lake.
A green development demonstration zone with prosperous economy, developed industries and splendid culture makes Taihu Lake even more dazzling.
