Xinghua city in East China's Jiangsu province has been working hard in recent years to build great rural roads, regarded as being an important path to fostering overall rural vitalization.
In so doing, the city has actively explored new development models combining rural roads and environment to achieve a harmonious coexistence between roads and nature.
Based on abundant local water resources, Xinghua has refined its approach to soil and water conservation, attached importance to the protection of water resources and the wetland ecology and has bolstered its daily maintenance of road and water networks.
Sticking to the concept of integrating roads into the countryside, Xinghua has been fostering rural road renovation and upgrading.
Spanning 66 kilometers, Qianduo Beautiful Road, comprising Yingwu South Road, 333 Provincial Road and other sections, is a great example of this.
The aesthetically designed thoroughfare connects culture, tourism and ecosystem, helping to drive the establishment of beautiful countryside.
In addition, the city has continued to improve its rural road network to galvanize the development of rural logistics.
Utilizing the bus service network and transportation resources in towns and villages, Xinghua has created demonstration routes for integrated transportation and postal services.
