What changes have taken place in Shijiazhuang recently?

First of all, let me talk about the changes in Shijiazhuang from the environmental aspect.

In the past, industrial pollution in Shijiazhuang was very heavy. The sky was foggy all day, the air was dirty, the city appearance and environment were dirty, people's social morality consciousness was not high, spitting, throwing waste paper and running red lights. Such an environment is very depressing and the image displayed to the outside world is not attractive. In addition, the environment itself is also related to people's livelihood and reflects people's quality of life. Recently, Shijiazhuang has made great efforts to improve the environment, built the Minxin River in the urban area and developed a green belt with water along the river, which has greatly changed the whole city. Some time ago, it was also rated as a city with good environment by the state. People who have lived in Shijiazhuang for a long time have the impression that there used to be a stinking ditch in the east open channel, which turned out to be dirty and messy, and the urban atmosphere was very bad. Now that the environment is good, the residential areas along the Minxin River have also appreciated. The sky in Shijiazhuang is also blue. There is also the village in Wu 'an City, Handan, which was poor in greening and bare. After several years of strengthening governance, the effect is very good. It brings a good feeling. This makes foreign exchanges and cooperation more attractive. Therefore, the benefits of improving the environment are comprehensive and enormous. Especially for people's ideas and mental state. Since the establishment of the civilized ecological village in the whole province, the rural landscape has undergone earth-shaking changes, with greening, lighting, purification and beautification, and the functional zoning of the village has been planned. What kind of mood does this bring to people? Ecology promotes civilization, which makes people feel that life has a head start and production has vitality.

Secondly, let me talk about the industrial changes in Shijiazhuang.

Shijiazhuang's industrial status once plummeted. After the upgrading and transformation of the old industries, the orientation of the four major industries, namely "China Pharmaceutical Capital", "Important Commercial Port", "Green Industrial Base" and "Textile Industrial Base", has made the future of Shijiazhuang clearer. Industrial enterprises gradually moved out of urban areas, natural gas was used on a large scale, and huge investment was made to control environmental pollution; At present, Shijiazhuang, one of the largest old city reconstruction projects in China, is accelerating; Large-scale transformation of the old city has also begun, CBD and CLD construction have started, and the construction of modern southeast new district has officially started; As the second city in China after Shanghai to receive huge funds from the World Bank for urban traffic construction, the construction of roads, viaducts and subways is accelerating. With the support of the Party committee and government, five bases, namely, chemical demonstration base of circular economy, national bio-pharmaceutical industry base, information industry base, textile and garment industry base and equipment manufacturing base, have been built to support the four major industries of chemical industry, medicine, information and textile in Shijiazhuang. In terms of energy projects, power supply projects such as Xibaipo Power Plant Phase III, Zhanghewan Pumped Storage Power Station, Liangcun and Nanjiao Thermal Power Plants and Shijiazhuang Thermal Power Plants Phase IX have been implemented, as well as natural gas utilization projects in urban areas and Jingxing County, Wuji County, mining area, Jinzhou City and Shenze County. Completed a number of transportation supporting projects, including Shi Huan Highway, Beijing-Shijiazhuang High-speed Railway, Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan High-speed Railway, Urban Expressway Outer Ring, Zhangshi Expressway, Shijiazhuang Airport Expansion and other projects, and strived to ensure the formation of a three-dimensional transportation network in Shijiazhuang in 2008; Focus on accelerating the expansion of Shijiazhuang inland river port and the construction of international logistics park, with the commercial logistics center as the main support, forming the main skeleton of commercial circulation network. Great progress has also been made in the construction of major projects such as the reorganization of Shijiazhuang Iron and Steel Group, the relocation of cigarette factories and the joint venture of Sanlu.

Shijiazhuang is rich in tourism resources, including beautiful natural scenery and precious cultural heritage. Then third, I will mention the construction of ground tour in Shijiazhuang.

At present, there are national scenic spots in Shijiazhuang, such as craggy rock, Cangyan mountain and Xibaipo-Tiangui mountain. There is a national historical and cultural city Zhengding; There are 18 national key cultural relics protection units represented by Zhao Zhouqiao, the originator of the world bridge, and Xibaipo, the cradle of new China; There is Wuyuezhai National Forest Park; Nansan, one of the top ten markets in China, Xinhua Trade City and many other tourist resources and attractions with their own characteristics. At present, four series of tourism products have been formed: red tourism, green tourism, ancient culture tourism and new city tourism. There are more than 50 scenic spots (spots) open to the outside world, including 6 national 4A-level scenic spots, 3 national 3A-level scenic spots and 2 national 2A-level scenic spots.

In recent years, the city's tourism environment and tourism service functions have been continuously improved around the four series of tourism characteristic products of "red, green, ancient and new". It is more comfortable and convenient for tourists to come to Shijiazhuang to eat, live, travel, travel and buy entertainment. There are 40 star-rated hotels in the city (including 3-star hotels or above 17), and all hotels and restaurants gather local delicacies, with entertainment and fitness facilities all over the city. Civil aviation Shijiazhuang airport has opened nearly 30 domestic and foreign routes; Railways and highways extend in all directions, and there are 12 special tourist lines leading to major tourist attractions. There are travel agencies 133 in the city, including international travel agencies 12. Travel agencies have arranged travel products and routes suitable for different needs, mainly including:

5. Tour routes of patriotism education: Xibaipo, Zhao Zhouqiao and Bethune Memorial Hall.

Known as "the first village in the world", Shijiazhuang has really changed a lot, especially in business. Fourthly, I naturally want to describe the changes in the business situation in Shijiazhuang.

Looking back at the business in Shijiazhuang, there were People's Shopping Mall, Jiefang Road Department Store and Jianhua Shopping Mall at the earliest. These shopping malls were the best in the eyes of Shijiazhuang people at that time, and they were good places for ordinary people to shop with confidence. With the construction planning of Shijiazhuang, business has developed rapidly. New and rebuilt buildings have sprung up. Since 1990s, the opening of Northland Shopping Mall and the expansion and transformation of People's Shopping Mall have prospered the provincial capital market. The number of shopping malls, supermarkets and convenience stores in the provincial capital has mushroomed, and the retail industry has undergone earth-shaking changes. For example, northland supermarket has six chain stores in the urban area, which really facilitates people's lives. The commercial circulation in Shijiazhuang has also begun to take shape, such as Xinhua Bazaar Center and Nansan Market. It has become a famous distribution center for clothing and small commodities in China, attracting merchants from all over the country and playing an important role in invigorating the market economy. After the change, there are many commercial stores, with high buildings, large area, beautiful environment, modern equipment, high quality of employees, and most importantly, a complete range of goods. No matter domestic well-known brands or imported best-selling brands, most of them are shopping platforms integrating shopping, catering and leisure to provide customers with the best service. Nowadays, businesses are flexible in operation and diversified in promotion methods, which have enhanced their competitiveness and enlivened the living atmosphere for the masses. From the changes in business, we can see that Shijiazhuang will develop faster and our life will be better.

The changes in Shijiazhuang can be seen everywhere, which is worthy of every Shijiazhuang person's pride.
