The Xi’an Chan-Ba Ecological District: building an urban green lung

In recent years, by sticking to the philosophy of green development, the Xi’an Chan-Ba Ecological District will dredge the course of the river, strengthen the ecological construction, so as to build an “urban green lung”. So far, 6 large-scale ecological parks have been built in the district, covering 17,000 mu (about 1133.33 hectares) of wetlands and 29,000 mu (about 1933.33 hectares) of forests, where the number of bird species has increased from 63 to 206. For this reason, the district has been designated as the national-level ecological district, the national demonstration zone for the conservation and restoration of the water ecosystem, the national demonstration zone for ecological civilization and other titles.
