Fuyuan reflects development potential of China's counties
China DailyTourists play at Harbin Ice Snow World in Heilongjiang province on Aug 13. China's easternmost county bordering Russia across two rivers, Fuyuan was designated as a county-level city in 2016. While the farmers and fishermen of Fuyuan are busy buying cars, building new houses or going on tours, Li and his colleagues are discussing the county's development prospects. Still, the local government has been promoting mechanization and smart agriculture to boost agricultural development, and a State-owned enterprise has promised to invest 500 million yuan to build a smart agriculture park on the banks of the Wusulijiang River, which would create new jobs and could become a model for Fuyuan's agricultural development in the future. A friendly border and a busy inland port will greatly benefit Fuyuan, by attracting more domestic and international investments and talents, thus ensuring the county's sustainable development.
