Tianjin's planned ecological barrier taking shape

China Daily  

Visitors enjoy the scenery at 10-mile Rice Field, an area dubbed as part of the Green Ecological Barrier of Tianjin. "We aim to establish a green, ecological barrier between the downtown and the coastal area of the city-the Binhai New Area-in a bid to implement President Xi Jinping's concept that 'lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets'," said Lu Hong, director of the Tianjin Bureau of Planning and Natural Resources. Du Naihe, a local villager in the wetland area, told China Daily that he was previously engaged in crab cultivation there, but such cultivation "harms the environment at the ancient sea bank". "The two massive ecological protection campaigns are expected to revive the ancient beautiful scenery and create new legends from generation to generation," Lu noted.
