Environment

Concerted efforts are being made to build a green and environmentally friendly Hexi New Town. Green coverage rate has so far reached 48 percent with per capita green area of 22 sq m. In addition, all main roads are lined with 20m-wide green belts on both sides, while secondary roads and riverbanks have green belts 10 m wide. Also, there is a plan that has a park, square or a street greenbelt every 500m.
