[Central Media see Gansu] The "green expansion" of the old coal city

Pingchuan District, Baiyin City, Gansu Province is located on the shore of the Yellow River, and is one of the important coal -electric energy bases in Gansu. In recent years, this old industrial base that once "wind blows stones and is difficult to grow four seasons" has continuously expanded the greening and water surface area, and the green ecological "scroll" is more beautiful.

Overlooking from a high place, Qinchuan Lake Park, which covers an area of ​​more than 100,000 square meters, is like a jasper, inlaid in the main city of Pingchuan. The calm water surface reflects the blue sky and white clouds, where the eyes are lush.

The locals introduced that the waters of Qinchuan Lake used to be a garbage ditch everywhere. "Look at it now, just like opening a beauty filter." Citizen Zhang Lingqian said that she often met her friends at this morning and rest in the gazebo when she was tired.

The resources and energy of Pingchuan District are enriched, with an annual output of nearly 9 million tons of coal. In the past, extensive resource mining methods caused problems such as coal mining and ecological deterioration.

"In the past, the wind was blowing the sky as soon as the wind was blowing. When riding a bicycle, he could only push away in the wind sand." Zhang Lingqian said.

In recent years, in addition to ultra -low emissions such as denitration, dust removal, and desulfurization of enterprises, Pingchuan District has also adapted to local conditions to create a number of urban parks with "three seasons with flowers and green seasons", so that residents can enjoy green when they get out of the house to enjoy green "Welfare".

Last year, the urban green coverage rate of Pingchuan District reached 39.85%, and the per capita public green area was 17.75 square meters. With the continuous expansion of the city's "green lung", the happiness of local residents has continued to improve.

Zhang Lingqian said that now she leaves the community where she lives, and can reach Qinchuan Lake Park for more than 10 minutes, walking along the fitness trail, and then walking about 500 meters can also reach Pingchuan Park. "The park feels great in the park."

From a single landscape to green plants everywhere, the green expansion of multiple parks and surfaces has become the norm in Pingchuan. At present, Pingchuan District has built more than 100,000 square meters of artificial water surface, and the green coverage area of ​​the urban area is more than 8.4 million square meters.

"Take Pingchuan Park as an example. At present, we have completed the new green space area of ​​4,500 square meters. In the next step, we plan to expand the green space of this park to more than 220,000 square meters." Said Liu Huaipeng, director of the Garden Institute of Pingchuan District.

In the main urban area of ​​Pingchuan District, there are Xiangquan Shahe in the west, the Shahe River in the east, and the Huangshuigou Shahe passed through the city. According to local conditions, the Pingchuan people used the three sand rivers as a barrier to the urban ecological construction, and connected the green nets and water surfaces that penetrated the city.

"With the construction of a green belt in natural Shahe, Pingchuan has built a number of parks such as Pingchuan Park and Qinchuan Lake Park, and built a square green area of ​​60,000 square meters. The construction of the" fitness circle "in 15 minutes has begun to take shape." Liu Huaipeng said. This year, the construction of Phoenix Terrace Ecological Sports Park and Children's Park, which has a total area of ​​280,000 square meters, has made the general public's experience of "pushing the window to see the green and going out to enter the park".

Since last year, Pingchuan has also incorporated the construction of park green space, Shahe governance, and water system connection into the national reserve forest construction with a total area of ​​450,000 acres. "This is not only the expansion of 60,000 acres of the National Reserve Forestry Project, but also beautified the homeland at the same time." Huang Xingdu, deputy director of the Forestry and Grassland Bureau of Pingchuan District, said that the "green breathing" of Lao Coal City also allowed residents to realize the quality of urban life quality. Steady improvement.

Pingchuan's green expansion attempt is also one of the important practices for Gansu to continue to strengthen ecological protection. Last year, Gansu completed the annual afforestation of 3.4349 million acres and 2.03 million acres of artificial grass. (Reporter Cheng Nan, Zhao Weihong)
