From "ecology is good" to "ecology +", Zhangzhou has explored a new path of ecological civilization construction with harmony between man and nature, overall consideration and combined efforts, so that a good ecological environment and rich ecological products become the growth point of people's happy life and the sustained and healthy development of economy and society.
In March 16, 2017, sanitation workers in Longwen District of Zhangzhou City, Fujian province were cleaning garbage in rivers and inland rivers.
Zhangzhou, Fujian, is a city with a long history and deep inside.
Located in the golden triangle area of southern Fujian, Xiamen has the aura of "special economic zone" overhead and Quanzhou has the reputation of "brand capital". Under the background of the prominent fame of economic soaring harvest since the reform and opening up, Zhangzhou, like a city facing the wind by the sea, appears relatively quiet.
The development of scenery is different from four seasons. Like many other backward regions, Zhangzhou, known as the hometown of flowers and fruits, is now facing a new era: how to optimize development while increasing the total economic output? Under the background of urban integration, how to dislocation development? How can green development be carried out under tight environmental resources constraints?
"Zhangzhou", "pastoral city", "all corners of the country" and "double hundred" greening. Searching the high-frequency words appearing in the development of Zhangzhou City in recent years, the natural freshness and the wind of ecological civilization are coming.
The black and smelly "Longshugou" has become a Hong Qingbo, once regarded as the "chicken ribs" of the litchi forest has become a "cash tree" and "urban green umbrella," the dirty city "corner" has become a "golden treasure" of the hunt... "Look" Newsweek reporters into today's Zhangzhou, everywhere can see the "green" into gold, borrow "green" transformation of the vivid scene.
All kinds of gratifying changes have benefited from the comprehensive and in-depth implementation of the "ecological +" strategy in Zhangzhou City in recent years, which is to lead the coordinated development of urban construction, industry, people's livelihood and culture, promote the "four generations integration" of ecology, production, life and business, and concretize, project and capitalize the ecological construction, and enhance the ecological dividend. "Sensitivity" and "gold content"; fully tap natural landscape and historical and cultural resources, integrate urban and rural areas, departments and social forces, promote ecological civilization to seek common construction and sharing.
"New generation" of "litchi sea"
Warm winter is like spring in Zhangzhou. Standing on the top of the Phoenix Mountain in the southern suburbs, the mountains and countryside of the litchi forest are green and dripping like green waves surging into the sky.
The town of Jiuhu, where Fenghuang Mountain is located, has been planting litchi for thousands of years. It has been handed down from generation to generation and has been planted year by year. Nearly 300 thousand litchi and more than 100 varieties are integrated into the magnificent litchi sea.
Li Qinggen of Zhangzhou High-tech Zone Municipal Public Utilities Service Co., Ltd. told Visit Newsweek that in recent years, due to the low price of litchi, the phenomenon of local farmers cutting fruit trees and occupying forest land has intensified, and the planting area of litchi has declined year by year.
The turnaround came in 2011, when Zhangzhou put forward the urban positioning of "Garden City, Eco-city". "Money can buy trees, but can not buy the age of trees." In order to protect this non-renewable green resources, Zhangzhou City re-examined the ancient litchi forest with an ecological perspective, according to the "Litchi Grand View Garden, National Fitness Hall, Natural Oxygen Bar" positioning, timely planning and construction of the Phoenix Mountain "Litchi Sea" Park.
In order to let more people get close to the green, the park has laid a nearly 8 kilometers long winding "green road", supporting the construction of post stations, viewing platforms and other facilities. In order to guide the public to cherish the litchi tree and the litchi culture, the municipal government invested more than 100 million yuan in the collection and protection of 1,800 mu of litchi forest in the core area.
The "litchi sea" of Zhangzhou has been selected as the national list of agricultural cultural heritage. After the completion of the park, the planting function of lychee forest has also been upgraded. Three years ago, Chen Zhenlong, a veteran flower grower, smelled the tremendous business opportunities under the forest in the Lichi Sea. He led the villagers to set up a professional cooperative for the cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs and began planting Dendrobium candidum under the dense litchi forest. With the government's encouragement and help, the cooperative now has more than 200 acres of planted area, more than 600 trees, each yielding 5 to 6 Jin of imitation wild Dendrobium candidum, the benefit is nearly ten times higher than the fresh fruit of litchi.
Li Qinggen said that after the park was completed, the litchi forest was the same as the litchi forest, but it achieved "three changes and three improvements", that is, turning the whole orchard into an ecological park, turning private resources into public resources, turning the countryside mountain into a tourist attraction, promoting the tourism craze, enhancing the economic value of fruit trees, and enhancing the fruit farmers'protection. The consciousness of protecting lychee trees.
In the state-owned forest farm under the Yuanshan forest more than 10 kilometers away from the main urban area of Zhangzhou, there is also a wonderful story of "old trees blossoming and bearing new fruits".
Yao Qingduan, deputy director of Zhangzhou Forestry Bureau, said that the 35,000 Mu state-owned forest farm, with 95% forest coverage, contains more than 1,000 kinds of plants, including more than 1,500 rare tree species such as Hainan Huanghua pear. However, because more people and less trees have been tightened, more than 200 forest workers have difficulty in producing and living.
On the other hand, the state-owned forest farm has been closed for a long time and the traffic is inconvenient. Most people do not know that there is such a green treasure house nearby. "Where the door of a forest farm opens, the value and function of the forest are totally different." Huang Bingyu, Secretary of the Party branch of the forest farm, said that after many investigations and investigations, the city put forward measures to build the forest farm into an ecological garden in the suburbs of the city, opening the gate of the forest farm to the Yuanshan Avenue leading to the city. This not only shortened the journey into the forest farm by half, but also promoted the development of "let the forest approach the city, let the public into the forest" new road.
Walking into the state-owned forest farm under the forest, under the various kinds of flowers and trees, we can often see the adoption signs of different institutions and individuals. Yao Qingduan said that more and more people came to visit, visit and walk after the forest farm gate turned and infrastructure improved. During the Eleventh National Day, 2000 people visited the forest farm every day.
Under forest parking lots, ecological service centers, children's amusement facilities... Old Huang, who has been engaged in forestry for more than 30 years, counts the various renovation and construction projects in the forest farm: "When the ecological park is really built, it is time for the forest farmer to put down his axe thoroughly. From eating forestry rice to eating eco rice, the road of the forest farm will grow wider and wider. "
Water is a medium for veins and green.
Standing in Zhangzhou Nanshan Cultural and Ecological Park, but see the Nanshan Lake sparkling, groups of egrets flying in groups. One year ago, Nanshan Lake was just a release pond in the temple and a fish pond for the people, with garbage all over the lake and black and smelly water. After widening the regulation, Nanshan lake is connected with the surrounding water system and the stagnant water becomes clear. Nanshan Temple is sensitive to environmental changes, let 60 mu of idle land, built Zhangzhou's largest Triangle Plum Flower Sea theme.
According to Zhangzhou City Planning Department, Nanshan Cultural Ecological Park belongs to the Nanhu Lake in the construction of Zhangzhou City's "five lakes and four seas" project, which is composed of Bihu Lake, West Lake, Xiyuan Lake and Ninety-nine Bay Lake.
This systematic ecological construction project with water as its vein and green as its medium not only changed the dirty and disorderly situation of urban "corner land" in a relatively short time, but also provided space for "ecological restoration" and "functional repair" of the city.
Most of the "five lakes and four seas" projects are located in flood detention areas, unused areas, urban villages and traditional agricultural products concentrated areas, which are relatively "depressions" of development and "short boards" of urban public supporting. Cai Zhiwei, chief engineer of Zhangzhou Water Conservancy Bureau, said that after the completion of the "Five Lakes" project, the flood drainage and detention capacity of the urban area could be increased to 10 million cubic meters, and the flood drainage capacity of the whole city could reach the level once seen in 30 years.
Look at everything and start small. "Five lakes and four seas" project construction, Zhangzhou "mother river" Jiulong River as the axis, north-south expansion, East-West extension, Zhangzhou natural water system and characteristics of flowers and fruits as the basis for balancing the ecological spatial layout of the central urban area, re-sculpture of the city's ecological functions, close to man and nature, the city and nature between the city and nature Distance makes the ecological benefits the visible welfare of the general public.
Four Seasons Huahai, one of the four seas, is located in the central urban area of Zhangzhou City. It was originally shrouded by an overpass connecting the two districts of Xiangcheng and Longwen. Under the overpass, garbage piled up and sewage flowed across. After the construction of the project, the overpass was demolished, and more than 400 acres of open space was converted into the People's Square, planting the common flowers and plants of Phoenix wood, Cinnamomum camphora and Yu Meimei in Zhangzhou, forming a "four seasons have flowers, four seasons change" a sea of flowers.
Ma Shuzhen, a community resident of Xixiuyifang on the seashore of Four Seasons Flowers, said that after Huahai was built, everyone had a good place to enjoy leisure. The improvement of the environment has also raised the civilized consciousness of the residents. Many people who stroll around the flower sea carry garbage bags with them. It is difficult to see even a cigarette end on the ground.
Extension of "eco +" benefits
Located on the biggest alluvial plain in Fujian Province, the magnificent Jiulong River passes through the city. The forest coverage ranks first in the coastal area of Fujian Province. The landscape and fruits are very rich. From the resource endowment point of view, Zhangzhou is endowed with a unique combination of "water city, green city, flower city, historical and cultural city".
"Green is the most distinctive development background of Zhangzhou, and is also the most competitive city in Zhangzhou." Tan Yunkun, Secretary of the Zhangzhou Municipal Party Committee, said that in recent years, based on its own reality and dislocation of development needs, Zhangzhou has been continuously committed to exploring the "ecological +" model to extend the "ecological +" benefits.
Tan Yunkun believes that ecology is the foundation of Zhangzhou's establishment and prosperity, so ecological construction is not only a variety of flowers and trees, water and air control is so simple, but to do a good job of "+" article. The concept of green development should be integrated into the policy planning and management layout, and the integration of ecology with urban construction, industry, people's livelihood and culture should be promoted, so as to promote the integration of ecology, production, life and business and realize the organic unity of ecological, economic and social benefits.
Taking "ecology + urban construction" as an example, Xihu Lake in "five lakes and four seas" was originally a flood detention area along the Kowloon River, belonging to the edge of the old urban area. After re-planning, Xihu Eco-Park with a total area of 7 380 Mu will be built; at the same time, 105 enterprises in two industrial districts and more than 3 000 families in six urban villages will be rebuilt to replace cages for birds. Set up a variety of science, education, culture and health facilities.
Zhang Qiyang, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the Xiangcheng District of Zhangzhou City, said that one third of the land in the West Lake area is for the environment; one third is for public support; and one third is for the development. After the completion of the project, a well-functioning urban development zone will be formed, which can accommodate 80,000 people. On the one hand, it can relieve the industry and population of the old urban areas, enhance the urban carrying capacity, on the other hand, it can avoid the siphon problem in the process of urbanization and realize balanced development.
"Ecology + industry" has promoted the transformation and upgrading of Zhangzhou's "small and scattered" industry. A piece of land in Nanhu area, commonly known as "Thirteen Factories", was once an old industrial base in Zhangzhou. After the relocation and transformation, it showed a fresh style of blue sky, green water, sparse forest and grassland. The Park specially retains the workshop and water tower built in the 1950s. These red brick buildings with the flavor of southern Fujian are interesting to the surrounding green. The park has become a scenic spot and attracted many enterprises, such as Oracle (Zhangzhou) technical personnel base.
Xiangqiao village in the ninety-nine Bay Lake area was once a famous building template production base in the whole country. Huang Zhisong, Secretary of the Party branch of Xiangqiao Village, said there had been more than 100 small factories in the village. Pollution made the day and sunshine the same. After the construction of the project, the polluted production capacity has all been cleared, and the flavor of the ancient village, which is the intersection of Qixingchi and red brick, has returned. Now it has become the scene of many movies and TV plays.
"Ecology + culture" has brought new glory to Zhangzhou's traditional tourism resources. Zhuli Village of Tianbao Town in Xiangcheng District is the hometown of Lin Yutang, a literary master, and also the famous producing area of sesame and banana. After years of operation, a "banana sea" of nearly 10,000 Mu has been formed here. The local banana gardens are equipped with wooden trestles and tourist facilities, and Mr. Lin Yutang's former residence in Yangmingshan, Taiwan, has been "replicated" back to create a single agricultural product producing area in the past into a collection of agricultural sightseeing, cultural tourism, leisure and health preservation in one. Ecological culture park.
The road to integration of agriculture and tourism has benefited many local farmers. Lin Wencheng, a villager who runs a hotel near the Lin Yutang Memorial Hall, said that five years ago the hotel had only four tin huts and was now rebuilt into a four-story small foreign building that could accommodate 300 people at the same time. There are more and more foreign tourists. Restaurants that specialties in Southern Fujian cuisine are often hard to find at a table.
Lai Shaoxiong, chairman of Zhangzhou City Investment Group, said, "Now our innovative path of ecological construction, while improving the environment, coupled with reasonable district planning and industrial integration, has brought land premium, commercial agglomeration and other multiple effects. Ecological investment has become effective investment, and the ecological dividend has become the attraction of development.
The "eco +" mode has made Zhangzhou taste the sweetness. For three consecutive years, Zhangzhou's GDP growth ranks first in the province. According to incomplete statistics, 43 projects have been signed to land around the "five lakes and four seas" project in Zhangzhou, with a total investment of nearly 7 billion yuan.
"Leaving the shade" for the future of the city
A city flower sea half city lake, water and mountains and people.
Zhangzhou's "ecological +" development model, based on the restoration of symbiosis between the city and nature, is more committed to the people's demand for a better life in the supply of ecological products. It not only reconstructs the development space of the city, but also improves the sustainable development ability of the city. The development path of "idyllic city, ecological city" and the operation mode of "ecological +" provide inspiring samples for the construction of urban ecological civilization in the new era.
First, good law is natural and good at leaving blank. Lu Jiwei, a professor at Tongji University who has planned Bihu and Xihu in Zhangzhou, believes that the greatest feature of the construction of the "five lakes and four seas" is "doing something but not doing something". The construction leads to protection, the renovation is replaced by repairing, and the "useless places" and "places to stay" are reserved as much as possible. Let the city have a pastoral taste, so that the public can get close to the natural space.
Zhang Qiyang said that the West Lake area from the beginning can not move and destroy the place marked out, road construction would rather increase costs to bypass ancient trees and famous trees, and even special wind channel planning, construction of natural revetment, ecological slope protection, to create a "breathing Lake body".
Zhang Bilan, Minister of Propaganda Department of Longhai Municipal Party Committee of Zhangzhou, said that the local Xixi Eco-cultural Park has been built with the concepts of "original ecology", "low cost" and "popularization". Through planning and renovation, the ridge of the field has become a greenway, the garden has become a garden, the riverside has become a sightseeing platform, the old brick kiln has become a scenic spot, and the housing of the masses has changed. As a homestay, farmers' new villages have become commercial streets, and personal resources have become shared resources.
Two is to highlight the "overall design" and "system thinking". Zheng Rongquan, Director-General of General Works Office of Zhangzhou Planning Bureau, said that the construction of the "Five Lakes and Four Seas" project stands above the city, in front of the map and among the masses to think about problems, respects the natural pattern of the life community of "mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and grasses", breaks the administrative divisions and urban-rural divisions in the process of construction, and coordinates the various functional departments and mobilization The forces of all sectors of society strive to maximize the coverage of ecological benefits.
Hong Haitao, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Zhangzhou Tourism and Development Committee, believes that urban ecological construction should respect the law of urban development and the inheritance of historical and cultural heritage, not force the international integration of "lofty and upright" and not seek "short, smooth and quick" returns. We should consider comprehensively the basic, long-term and public welfare nature of ecological construction to ensure that "a blueprint tube to the end, one after another."
Wu Guowei, deputy general manager of Zhangzhou City Investment Group, said that although the construction of "five lakes and four seas" has a large initial investment and slow economic output, in the long run, on the one hand, it can let the masses enjoy the green welfare of universal benefit and cohesion of social identity; on the other hand, it can keep the pace of urban land transfer and achieve a better financial balance.
The three is the combination of "long and short" and "rigid and flexible". In order to avoid the crowding up of ecological resources caused by urban development, Zhangzhou City has adopted local legislation to divide some 5 290 mu of land in the "five lakes and four seas" area into the important ecological space protection scope of the central urban area, so as to increase rigid constraints for ecological protection.
Chen Huizhen, Vice Minister of Propaganda Department of Zhangzhou Municipal Party Committee, said that in recent years, Zhangzhou has successively won back the national civilized city, National Forest city, national green model city and other gold-lettered signboards, which are "intangible assets" to support the future development of Zhangzhou. At the same time, the achievements of ecological construction not only make the government "bright in the face", but also let the people "feel in the heart". Because of the real sense of acquisition, the masses of the ecological construction needs to carry out the requisition and relocation is very cooperative, but also more cherish the hard-won good environment.
In order to stimulate the public's enthusiasm for ecological protection, Zhangzhou City launched a "hundred flowers blossom, one hundred trees shade" greening project along the Jiulong River in 2017 to encourage all sectors of the community to participate in tree planting. You Jianshan, director of Zhangzhou Garden Bureau, said that a monument was erected under each tree to mark tree species and the names of the planters. This open and permanent way of planting trees is very popular, and it also raises people's awareness of ecological co-construction and sharing. (reporter Liu Kangtu hung Chang Li Huiying)
