The Taihang Mountains are long and lofty, the Yanshan Mountains are beautiful, and the North China Plain is magnificent. This is a land with magnificent mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited Hebei for many times. In May 2023, when General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Hebei and presided over the symposium on deepening the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, he stressed that "new breakthroughs should be made in promoting the comprehensive green transformation" and "accelerating the construction of a strong economic province and a beautiful Hebei".

The cadres and masses of Hebei Province should keep in mind the instructions, adhere to the ecological priority and green development, practice the concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", coordinate the management of the system of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand, and continue to fight the battle of blue sky, clear water and pure land.

Xiong'an New Area demarcates ecological protection red line and other control lines to ensure that the blue and green space accounts for 70%. In the past seven years, 475000 mu of new forests have been planted, and the "millennium beautiful forest" has grown into a green landscape. The forest coverage rate of the New Area has increased from 11% to 34.7%; The water quality of Baiyangdian Lake has been maintained at Class III and the water ecological environment has been gradually improved after the comprehensive treatment of water replenishment, pollution control and flood control; Saihanba Machinery Forest Farm, from a tree to a million mu forest sea, is the source of sand blocking in the capital and the source of water storage in Beijing and Tianjin

The sky is bluer, the ground is greener, the water is clearer, and the beautiful Hebei scroll is slowly spreading.
