When you look up, you can enjoy the water and clear the shore, and the egrets in the wetland center … A beautiful picture of harmonious coexistence between man and nature is slowly unfolding in Guangzhou. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Guangzhou has taken the continuous improvement of the ecological environment as the goal and the rectification of the central ecological environmental protection inspector as the starting point, deepened the battle for pollution prevention and control, continuously promoted the modernization of the ecological environment governance system and governance capacity, and provided a solid ecological environment guarantee for Guangzhou to accelerate the realization of the new vitality of the old city and the "four new achievements". As the sun sets, the horizon of Guangzhou opens a gorgeous sunset glow. From basking in the blue sky and white clouds, to basking in colorful clouds, to charming rainbows, there are more and more beautiful moments that can be displayed in the circle of friends of Guangzhou people. Behind these beautiful pictures is inseparable from the continuous improvement of air quality in Guangzhou. In 2021, when the meteorological conditions were unfavorable year-on-year and the precipitation was greatly reduced year-on-year, Guangzhou’s ambient air quality reached the standard for two consecutive years, and PM2.5 reached the standard stably for five consecutive years, maintaining the best among national central cities. From January to June 2022, the proportion of days with excellent air quality (AQI compliance rate) in Guangzhou was 91.7%, up 5.0 percentage points year-on-year, ranking first among 21 cities in the province, with an average concentration of PM2.5 of 20 μ g/m3. PM2.5 is an important indicator to measure the air quality of a city, and it is also one of the main causes of haze pollution.In March 2012, Guangzhou officially announced that the hourly real-time concentration and daily average concentration of PM2.5 were included in the regular publication scope, and "read the air" with the citizens. Since then, the average concentration of PM2.5 in Guangzhou has continued to decline, from 53 μ g/m3 in 2013 to 24 μ g/m3 in 2021, a decrease of 54.7% in 9 years. In 2014, Guangzhou put forward the "nine-character tactic" of "reducing coal, controlling cars, reducing dust and reducing oil smoke". Up to now, a total of 13,500 pure electric buses have been popularized and applied, basically realizing the pure electrification of buses; 1.75 million pure electric cruise taxis, accounting for more than 80%; The pure electric network has about 96,200 taxis, accounting for more than 97%; According to the regulations, the industrial coal consumption in 2021 will be reduced by 6.1 million tons compared with that in 2013, thus reducing pollutant emissions from the source. After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader chose Guangdong for his first visit to the local area. In Donghaoyong, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that Donghaoyong and greenways all over Guangdong are partial details of beautiful China and sustainable development. If all these details are well done, the grand blueprint of beautiful China can be realized. Guangzhou keeps in mind the earnest entrustment of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, makes every effort to improve the quality of the city’s water environment and embarks on a new round of water control. In January 2014, Guangzhou set up river captains in 51 pilot rivers included in the South Guangdong Water Cleaner Action Plan; In 2016, the river length system was fully launched; In 2017 and 2018,In the whole province, the "Implementation Plan for Full Implementation of River Length System in Guangzhou" and "Implementation Plan for Lake Length System in Guangzhou" were first introduced, and the work of river length system was upgraded. Liedeyong is an ancient river flowing through the CBD of Guangzhou Pearl River New Town. In the Liedeyong section in front of the Pearl River Park, there are more than ten egrets on the shallow riverbed. They sometimes hover in the air, sometimes feed in the water, and sometimes stop on a stone to comb their feathers. Among the high-rise buildings in the CBD, a group of egrets live happily. Why do egrets love hunting Deyong? The reporter found that the water quality of Liedeyong in front of the Pearl River Park is clear, but the water level is low, and the aquatic plants at the bottom of the chung grow wantonly, occupying 1/3 of the river. Min Yang, chief engineer of Tianhe Water Affairs Bureau, told the reporter: "This is the result of practicing the concept of low-carbon water control in Tianhe District, and the effect is good. This is not, it has attracted egrets to settle down! " In recent years, Guangzhou has vigorously promoted the ecological self-purification of rivers, deeply practiced the concept of low-carbon ecological environmental protection, implemented the natural water level operation of rivers, and used the tail water of sewage plants to carry out ecological water replenishment; Reducing river flow and dredging, cultivating water-loving plants, giving full play to the ecological self-purification function of rivers and achieving good results. In the central cities of Pearl River Tianzi Wharf, Haixin Bridge, Liedeyong, Chebeiyong and Datansha Island, groups of egrets fly and play. In today’s Guangzhou, the water quality of 20 national and provincial examination sections has all reached the standard, 197 black and odorous water bodies have maintained the standard of "long-term system and long-term cleaning", and the long-term system of rivers and lakes has been encouraged by the state twice;Won the title of national demonstration city for black and odorous water treatment, national water-saving city and national sponge city construction. In the western suburbs of Guangzhou, Dashahe Bidao is deeply loved by the public. Near evening, some people are running on Bidao Road, and some people are sitting around in a small pavilion near the chung. Ms. Liang, who is walking, told the reporter: "I am very happy to have such a beautiful Bidao at my doorstep! In the past, it was a wetland park, and the trees were messy because of neglect of management. After the renovation and upgrading, it has become beautiful. I will go for a walk here every day, and there are many people camping here on holidays. " Bidao, known as the upgraded version of urban water control, has basically solved the problem of black and smelly water quality in rivers, and Guangzhou has fully implemented the requirements of the provincial party committee and government for the construction of Bidao in Wan Li, realizing the transformation from simple water control to comprehensive urban management, truly paying off the water, returning the water to the people, returning it to the shore, and creating an ideal water life. Since 2019, Guangzhou has proposed to shape the three major Bidao life circles in the north, south and central regions according to the layout of mountains and rivers in the north, modern in the middle and water towns in the south of Guangzhou. By June, 2022, the mileage of Bidao completed in Guangzhou had reached 914 kilometers. Under the blue sky, between the clear waters, there are fish jumping and insects singing, laughter and joy … Guangzhou is striving to write a new chapter in the construction of beautiful China! Case Analysis The "Xanadu" in front of Guangzhou’s neighborhood stood on the Guang Zhouta and looked south. A piece of green appeared in the southern section of the central axis, with fruit trees, rivers and lakes intertwined. This is the largest and most well-preserved downtown wetland in China’s megacities-Haizhu National Wetland. In recent ten years,It has become a national and world-renowned ecological business card in Guangzhou. As the only island area in Guangzhou surrounded by the Pearl River, the coastline of Haizhu District stretches for 47.35 kilometers, and 74 rivers crisscross. Haizhu Wetland was formerly a fruit forest interwoven with rivers, with a total area of over 10,000 mu, accounting for 11.96% of the whole area. In 1980s, this 10,000-mu orchard was called "Nanfei". Because of the need to protect orchards and the strict control of land use by the government, villagers can’t develop the collective economy, and the farmhouse music is in a low-end disorderly state, so the economic income can’t be improved. After repeated exploration, Guangzhou City and Haizhu District have won the first land acquisition policy in China, and invested 4.585 billion yuan to expropriate 10,000 mu of orchard collective land as state-owned and protect it as the "green heart" in the center of the city. On September 29th, 2012, the first phase of Haizhu Wetland was completed and opened. At the beginning, there were obvious artificial traces in wetland construction, and the ecological restoration effect was not ideal. Haizhu Wetland promptly listened to and adopted experts’ suggestions, and formed a wetland restoration technology system and model with Haizhu characteristics in accordance with the principle of "original ecology, minor transformation and less intervention". The Regulations on Wetland Protection in Guangzhou, which was implemented in July 2018, has a special chapter on "Special Provisions on the Protection of Haizhu Wetland", which makes special provisions on the permanent protection of Haizhu Wetland, the regulatory detailed planning of Haizhu Wetland and its protection and management measures. After ten years of multi-dimensional conservation and restoration,This largest central wetland, which integrates rivers, rivers, forests, fields and lakes, has played an important role in regulating climate, purifying air, regulating water bodies and improving urban ecological environment, and at the same time it is full of vitality. Wild birds are an important part of urban biodiversity and one of the indicator species of urban ecosystem. At the beginning of this year, in the bird-watching contest held in Haizhu Wetland, the participating teams found three bird species that had not been recorded before in Haizhu Wetland-alpine short-winged warbler, diphtheria short-winged thrush and cuckoo. Soon after, the Institute of Zoology of Guangdong Academy of Sciences discovered the national second-class protected species-red-throated songbird in the wetland. More secrets of nature have been gradually discovered here: at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, two rare new species of insects in the world were discovered in Haizhu Wetland, both named after Haizhu, namely, the firefly beetle in Haizhu and the axle beetle in Haizhu. According to the data released by the Institute of Zoology of Guangdong Academy of Sciences, as of August this year, there are 738 species of insects in Haizhu Wetland, belonging to 157 families. There are 835 species of vascular plants, and organic carbon is constantly accumulating in wetland soil. The "species treasure house" and "carbon storage pool" are well-deserved. While strengthening conservation and restoring the ecological function of wetlands, Haizhu Wetland encourages the public to take actions to protect and sustainably use wetlands. Haizhu Wetland Nature School, a national excellent popular science brand, was founded, and some non-core conservation areas were opened to the public, which gradually became the ecological meeting room of Greater Bay Area and the "Xanadu" at the doorstep of Guangzhou citizens. People live up to the castle peak, and the castle peak will live up to people. In the past ten years, Haizhu Wetland has embarked on a green and high-quality development path.The first-class ecological environment attracts first-class talents and industries. The ecological benefits of Haizhu Wetland are gradually transforming into innovative economy and the gathering effect of high-end talents. A good ecological environment has become the core competitiveness of the new round of urban development.
