In recent years, Baotou has been committed to developing 15-minute living circles, making it easier for residents to satisfy their daily needs in areas such as shopping, elder care, child care, and leisure, all within a 15-minute walk from their communities.

Residents of the Chunguang Community in Baotou shared that there were previously not enough leisure spaces near their neighborhood. Now, with new parks built nearby and improved public transportation routes, their lives have become much more convenient. They can also buy fresh vegetables close to home. A short walk north takes them to Labor Park, while heading west leads to Jinxiu Park.
