In the Chengguan section of the Yellow River in winter, the wind blows across the water with the soft sound of reeds, and flocks of migratory birds skim the blue waves and step on the shore to forage. Many citizens took advantage of the sunny weather to go on a date by the Yellow River - to watch the clear waves and the birds dancing.

　　Today's Chengguan District of Lanzhou City is taking ecology as the pen and ingenuity as the ink, making the Yellow River bank a paradise for migratory birds and a paradise for citizens, painting an ecological picture full of vitality and warmth in winter.

　　Whether the ecology is good or not, migratory birds know best. In the Tanjianzi Wetland Park, the reeds stretch their waists in the wind, the clear water reflects the sky and clouds, and flocks of migratory birds either play and peck in the water, or flap their wings and hover at low altitude, occasionally making a few crisp chirps, adding a bit of agility to the quiet winter day. It is not only the core benchmark for ecological restoration in Chengguan District, but also a "natural harbor" on the migration road of migratory birds, and also an "urban green lung" for citizens to stroll leisurely.

　　"The population and length of stay of migratory birds are the most objective 'ecological answers'." Miao Jun, the relevant person in charge of the Resources Office of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Chengguan District, said that in recent years, more and more migratory birds have chosen to stay in Chengguan District for the winter, and relevant departments have also regularly organized manual feeding at designated points at this stage. At present, there are 68 species of wetland birds resting and inhabiting the wetland in the Chengguan section of the Yellow River, including 3 species of national level I key protected birds and 5 species of national level II protected birds. From mid-October to April of the following year, the population of migratory birds that migrate here increases year by year, and thousands of birds gather on the banks of the Yellow River, forming the most moving ecological picture in winter.

　　Behind this is the solid ecological governance hard measures of Chengguan District. The wetland area has been substantially restored, the water quality has been steadily improved from Class IV to Class III, and the clear river water has brought a clean home to migratory birds and citizens. The ecological restoration of the whole basin has continued to make efforts, the illegal encroachment facilities have been fully cleared, and the native vegetation has gradually returned, so that the wetland can regain its natural vitality. The 24-hour intelligent monitoring system adheres to the clock and uses the power of science and technology to build a solid ecological security defense line; Legislative protection has taken root, and wetlands have been designated as permanent ecological spaces, providing a solid institutional guarantee for biodiversity protection. Under a series of measures, the ecological background of the Yellow River bank has become brighter and brighter.

　　The effectiveness of ecological governance must ultimately fall into the personal feelings of citizens and be hidden in every stretched smiling face. In the marathon park, the winding fitness trail stretches along the Yellow River, in the morning light, the figure of runners is facing the breeze, and the cyclists shuttle through the greenery, full of vitality; In the shade of the trees, the elderly slowly play Tai Chi, their movements are soothing and calm, reflecting the vigorous vitality of young people running, the children's frolicking sound is crisp and pleasant, rippling in the air, and a vivid picture of people's livelihood is slowly spread on the banks of the Yellow River.

　　"I have lived here for 30 years, and it used to be rare to see blue skies in winter, but now blue skies and white clouds have become the norm. Come to the river every day to exercise, watch the clear water and green shores, listen to the birds, not to mention how comfortable the mood is, this is the best retirement life. The emotion of Lu Shuxuan, a citizen of the morning training, expressed the voices of thousands of Chengguan citizens.

　　In 2025, Chengguan District will build and renovate 7 small amusement parks and create a 14-kilometer ecological green belt through the pragmatic measures of "seeing the seams and inserting green", so that green can be integrated into the urban fabric and ecological well-being can infiltrate the lives of citizens.

　　From the return of migratory birds to the praise of citizens, the ecological butterfly change in Chengguan District is inseparable from the scientific path of systematic governance and overall improvement. Supported by mobile smart monitoring, Chengguan District has built an integrated ecological monitoring network - patrol personnel hold mobile phone terminals to upload dynamic data such as air quality, Yellow River water quality, emissions from key enterprises, and green space distribution in real time, so as to realize real-time sharing of ecological information and rapid response to abnormal situations, so that governance decisions are more accurate and efficient, and install a "smart brain" for ecological protection.

　　"We have always adhered to the 'three synchronizations' to promote ecological protection and integrate ecological governance into the whole process of urban development." Wang Feihu, director of the Comprehensive Office of the Chengguan Branch of the Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, introduced that the spatial planning is synchronized to build an ecological pattern of "the north and south mountains as the screen, the Yellow River as the vein, and the corridor runs through", so that the city and nature can coexist and integrate; synchronize industrial transformation, resolutely shut down and relocate high-polluting enterprises, vigorously cultivate green and low-carbon industries, and promote the green transformation of development mode; Governance capabilities are synchronized, and the ecological monitoring and governance system is continuously improved to build a solid ecological security barrier. At the same time, a series of pragmatic measures have been implemented to achieve results, promoting ecological governance from passive response to active action, and making the concept of green development deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
