The spring breeze blows the golden city, and the greenery is full of riverbanks. In recent years, the city has deeply practiced the concept of "lucid waters and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", closely followed the ecological protection and high-quality development strategy of the Yellow River Basin, and taken the construction of the sixth phase of the "Three Norths" project as an important starting point, and coordinated the promotion of the Yellow River shoreline management, urban greening and quality improvement, rural greening and beautification and ecological upgrading of industrial parks The city business card has injected strong impetus into building a solid ecological security barrier in the upper reaches of the Yellow River.

　　Planting green and strong foundations in the whole area to protect the Yellow River and revitalize the new city

　　As an important node of the ecological security barrier in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and an important industrial town in western Lanzhou, in 2026, Xigu District will take the treatment of the Yellow River shoreline and the ecological quality improvement of the industrial park as the dual cores, coordinate the promotion of land greening, garden improvement and ecological restoration, and plant a green foundation through differentiated measures to lay a solid ecological foundation for the construction of a modern central urban area.

　　At the rural level, greening actions have blossomed and achieved remarkable results. In the past two years, Dachuan Town, Xigu District, has taken the action of "Ten Thousand Trees in Villages and Green Villages" as the starting point, focusing on key areas such as main and secondary roads, village surroundings, vacant plots, and river shorelines, and continued to carry out tree planting and greening, beautification and improvement actions. Along National Highway 109 and Zhanggang Highway, the local area carefully planted seedlings such as arborvitae and golden willow to create an ecological landscape belt of "flowers in all seasons and blended road landscapes", planting thousands of seedlings and flowers of all kinds, and building a 2-kilometer road flower landscape belt; In areas such as the Lanqing Railway Bridgehead, new small and micro green spaces and leisure gardens have been built, and villagers are actively encouraged to use the idle space in front of and behind the house to create "four small gardens", and continue to improve the "appearance" and livability of the countryside. At the same time, strengthen the management of the 7-kilometer slope shoreline of the Dachuan section of the Yellow River and Huangshui River, protect 1,200 acres of reed wetland, and build a solid line of defense for rural ecological security.

　　Shoreline governance and park quality improvement work together and empower in both directions. In terms of the management of the Yellow River shoreline, Xigu District takes key areas such as the Dachuan section and the estuary section as the core, implements the sixth phase of the "Three Norths" project with high standards, completes 3,000 acres of afforestation and greening, and 3,100 acres of grassland improvement, continues to promote the construction of ecological corridors along the Yellow River, and extends the ecological landscape belt of "four seasons with flowers and roadscapes", so that the banks of the Yellow River can become a green space for the masses to relax and watch and get close to nature. Based on the transformation and development needs of the old industrial zone, Xigu District focuses on the construction of a 100-billion-level green chemical park, solidly promotes the greening and quality improvement project of the park, adds (renovates) 15 hectares of urban green space around the park and on both sides of the main road, and transforms and improves the quality of greening by 4,000 square meters; Plan to build and renovate 3 small amusement parks, focus on realizing "300 meters of green, 500 meters of parks", build a convenient and comfortable ecological slow travel system, and promote the symbiosis and co-prosperity of industrial development and ecological protection.

　　The key ecological area in the west of the city forms a linkage effect and gathers the joint force of greening. Qilihe District has made simultaneous efforts to create a number of ecological highlights through the in-depth docking of greening projects and the ecological quality improvement of the Yellow River shoreline management: first, the "dot, line, and surface" global linkage greening, the construction and reconstruction of 3 small amusement parks, the series of surrounding green landscape belts, the construction of a global greening pattern, and the realization of "urban and rural complementarity and global greening" with rural greening; The second is the integration and empowerment of "ecology + cultural tourism", relying on the resource advantages of Shifogou National Forest Park, promoting the Shiguangli Art and Ecological Resort Corridor project, connecting surrounding scenic spots to form a cultural tourism and health care industry chain, so that the greening achievements can be effectively transformed into cultural tourism development advantages; The third is to protect the green of "national participation + scientific and technological empowerment", relying on the "Internet + national voluntary tree planting" platform online to broaden the channels of participation, and implement the "seed and adoption" model offline, and at the same time use advanced technologies such as drone cruise and combined with the forest chief system to promote the implementation of key tasks such as forestry engineering, forest and grass resource management, forest protection and fire prevention, forestry pest control, and forestry industry development.

　　"The greening work of the whole area has always firmly established and practiced the concept that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains, and adhere to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand." Yang Hui, chief of the planning section of the Municipal Forestry and Grassland Bureau, said that this year, the city will closely follow the rectification requirements of provincial environmental protection inspectors, simultaneously promote water conservation and soil erosion control, and take building a solid ecological security barrier in the western part of the country and an important ecological security barrier in the upper reaches of the Yellow River as the overall goal, scientifically carry out land greening, accurately improve forest quality, strengthen wetland protection and restoration, and strive to improve the diversity, stability and sustainability of the ecosystem. From the greening of the whole area of Xigu District to the linkage of the area of Qilihe District, Lanzhou is promoting the construction of the urban ecological base with systematic thinking, so that the green background continues to extend, which not only protects the Anlan of the Yellow River, but also builds a solid ecological foundation for the well-being of the urban people's livelihood, and promotes the steady progress of ecological construction from "building a solid foundation" to "benefiting people's livelihood".

　　All the way to add warmth to people's livelihood and draw a picture of happiness

　　If the greening of the whole area is the "skeleton" of Lanzhou's ecological construction and builds a solid ecological foundation in the urban area, then the greening of urban streets and alleys is the "flesh and blood" filled with it, so that ecological well-being can truly enter the daily life of citizens, realize the "two-way rush" of ecological beauty and people's livelihood warmth, and let the green development achievements on the banks of the Yellow River truly benefit every masses.

　　In Jincheng in April, the spring breeze blows on the face, and the greenery and floral fragrance are intertwined. From the cross-river bridge to the main street, from the core square to the corner of the community, the carefully carved green landscape allows citizens to feel the beauty of ecology anytime and anywhere. As the "Internet celebrity flower street" in Lanzhou City, dozens of cherry blossoms bloom one after another, and the breeze blows to form a beautiful "cherry blossom rain". "Every morning inspection, watching the cherry blossoms bloom and the citizens appreciate it, all the hard work is worth it." Ma Jun, director of the Qingyang Road Management Station of the Chengguan District Urban Greening Management Institute, said.

　　In order to enrich the level of greening and improve the quality of streets and alleys, the city actively introduces various excellent tree species such as ginkgo, cherry blossoms, crape myrtle, etc., and makes every effort to achieve the goal of flowers in three seasons and scenery in four seasons, and focuses on creating characteristic street and alley greening boutiques, forming a unique style of "one product all the way". As an important welcome avenue in Lanzhou, Tianshui North Road is characterized by "flower webbing and colorful colors", and more than 10 kinds of flowers such as high-pole roses and begonias are planted on both sides of the lane and sidewalk, forming a flower landscape belt that stretches for several kilometers and becoming an "ecological window" to display the image of the city; The crape myrtle corridor on Zhongshan Road is a characteristic flower street in autumn, with more than 100 crape myrtle trees neatly arranged along the street, blooming continuously from midsummer to late autumn, reflecting the simple buildings, showing the unique charm of autumn in Jincheng, which is a vivid practice of the concept of "one way and one product".

　　In addition to the creation of characteristic streets and alleys, the whole area promotes the improvement of green landscapes, so that green spreads to every corner of the city. The cross-river bridge on Binhe Road is like a "flower corridor in the air", the Yuantong Yellow River Bridge is inspired by the Yellow River waterwheel with colorful flowers, and the Chengguan Yellow River Bridge uses sheepskin rafts as elements to create a characteristic flower landscape, becoming a popular place for citizens and tourists to take photos and check in, adding a smart atmosphere to the city.

　　In recent years, the city has solidly carried out urban landscaping work, continued to consolidate the achievements of the creation of the "National Garden City", and let green ecological well-being penetrate into every corner of citizens' lives. "In the past, I could only see high-rise buildings when shopping, but now there are flowers and grass everywhere I go, and I take a walk in the pocket park after dinner, and my mood has improved." Ms. Zhang, a citizen who lives in Chengguan District, really felt the great changes brought about by urban greening. Up to now, the city has built 182 pocket parks, upgraded and renovated more than 300 road green landscapes, created 40 boutique garden blocks, and completed 100 green spaces in back streets and alleys; A total of 19,200 trees and 2.22 million shrubs were planted, 334,100 square meters of ground cover flowers were laid, and 389.1 hectares of urban green space were newly renovated. Today, the green space rate in the main urban area has reached 41.37%, the green coverage rate has reached 42.61%, and the golden signboard of "The Yellow River is also very beautiful" is becoming more and more shining.

　　The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Forestry and Grassland Bureau said that this year will continue to promote the construction of garden Lanzhou, fully complete the construction of 30 urban green parks for the people, and add 120 hectares of urban green space. "We will focus on plant renewal, continue to enrich green tree species, and improve the quality of green space landscape." Cheng Xi, chief of the greening section of the Municipal Forestry and Grassland Bureau, added. Yan Jianxin, deputy director of the Lanzhou Forest and Grass Resources Survey Center, said that this spring plans to allocate 120,000 seedlings of various types, of which 6,000 lilacs have been allocated to various units, which will be planted in parks and main and secondary roads to further enrich the urban green landscape. At the same time, Lanzhou City will improve the level of park construction and management, promote the connection of urban greenways, implement refined maintenance measures, expand the cultural functions of parks, promote the construction of forest parks, improve forest quality and ecological functions through multiple channels, and continue to enhance citizens' sense of green gain and happiness. The continuous upgrading of urban greening has not only enriched people's livelihood and well-being, but also injected solid people's livelihood strength into the construction of the Yellow River ecological barrier, realized the resonance of ecological protection and people's livelihood improvement, and laid a good foundation for the next step of building the Yellow River ecological barrier.

　　The green river on the shore keeps its original intention and builds a barrier for planting and protecting symbiosis

　　From the improvement of urban greening to the solid foundation to the benefit of people's livelihood through urban greening, Lanzhou's ecological construction has always revolved around the "mother river" of the Yellow River, with green planting and green protection as the core starting point, continuing to build a solid ecological security barrier in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, guarding the solemn commitment of "one river of clean water to the downstream" with practical actions, and promoting ecological construction to achieve a virtuous circle of "stable foundation, people's livelihood benefit, and solid barrier".

　　In recent years, Lanzhou has always regarded greening along the Yellow River shoreline and mountain greening as an important measure to build a solid ecological barrier, and gathered the strength of the whole people to promote ecological construction. Widely carry out voluntary tree planting activities, continue to promote provincial and municipal units to support the greening of the north and south mountains, and actively participate in green planting and green protection; On the basis of the implementation of the 810,800 mu "double" project, we will steadily promote the construction of the sixth phase of the "Three Norths" project, continue to promote the greening and quality improvement of the north and south mountains, and let the green continue to extend to the barren mountains.

　　With continuous efforts, ecological construction has achieved remarkable results and fruitful results. Up to now, the city has completed a total of 1,153,500 mu of afforestation (including 59,800 mu of key areas such as the north and south mountains), 205,500 mu of grassland ecological restoration and management, the forest land area has increased from 2,197,200 mu to 2,839,100 mu (the green area of the north and south mountains has reached 620,000 mu), the forest coverage rate has increased from 8.35% to 10.63%, the forest stock has increased by 184,200 cubic meters, and the comprehensive grassland vegetation coverage has increased from 55.02% to 57.33%. Over the years, the excellent water quality rate of the state-controlled and provincial control sections of the main and tributary sections of the Lanzhou section of the Yellow River has been 100%, the water quality compliance rate of centralized drinking water sources at the county level and above is 100%, and the comprehensive evaluation of water quality of the outbound section has been maintained at the level of Class II water quality, and the solemn commitment of "one river of clean water to the downstream" has been implemented.

　　"We will continue to cultivate a green ecological background and scientifically promote all aspects of ecological construction." The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Forestry and Grassland Bureau said: First, scientifically promote the afforestation and greening of key projects, scientifically mark the afforestation space according to relevant plans and data, adhere to the principle of water and measure water, make every effort to fight the "three norths" battle, and promote ecological protection and restoration along the main tributaries and main streams of the Yellow River and the comprehensive control of soil erosion; the second is to make every effort to implement ecological restoration in key areas, focusing on "three corridors, two mountains, and multiple points", focusing on greening urban traffic corridors and suburban mountain areas, implementing the precise improvement project of forest quality in the north and south mountains, and consolidating and expanding the effectiveness of package greening; The third is to coordinate the promotion of rural greening and beautification, promote the action of "10,000 trees and green villages in villages with high quality", carry out greening and beautification in the "five sides" and "four sides" of the countryside, guide villagers to build "four small gardens", combine rural revitalization and the integrated development of culture and tourism, improve the level of greening in township residences, and promote the construction of livable, workable and beautiful villages.

　　It is reported that this year, Lanzhou City pays special attention to the coordinated promotion of water conservation and soil erosion control, scientifically allocates native tree species and suitable plants in key river basins and sensitive areas, and strives to build a composite three-dimensional vegetation system, gradually realizing the transformation from problem rectification to system improvement. Strive to achieve by 2035, the natural ecosystem will be strictly protected and effectively restored, the nature reserve system will be basically completed, the carbon sink capacity of forests and grasses will be significantly improved, the supply of high-quality ecological products will continue to be optimized, and the high-quality development of the forest and grass industry will be more dynamic, so that the shoreline of the Yellow River will be evergreen and the ecological barrier will be stronger, laying a solid green foundation for Lanzhou's high-quality development, and truly achieving the ecological development goal of "green protection of the Yellow River, revitalization of the city, and beautification of people's livelihood".
