On the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, a colorful butterfly flaps its wings. Overlooking, she soars at the mouth of the Yangtze River, shining brightly; up close, she wanders in the sea of flowers, dreaming. This beautiful "big butterfly" is Chongming. In the past five years, Chongming's world-class ecological island construction has ridden the wind and waves, accelerated forward, and achieved leapfrog improvement. In the next five years, Chongming will strive to make breakthroughs in a larger pattern, a wider field, a deeper level and a higher level, and take a more solid step towards building a world-class ecological island with demonstration and leading effects.
Ecology: Enhance core competitiveness
Ecology is chongming's most core competitiveness, and the confidence of "butterfly change" lies in this. In the past five years, Chongming has worked hard to improve the quality of the ecological environment, eliminating 100% of the inferior Class V water bodies in the whole region, the forest coverage rate exceeding 30%, the surface water environmental functional area meeting the standard rate reaching 100%, the excellent rate of ambient air quality of 91.9%, and the quality of ecological elements such as water, soil and forest gas have been comprehensively improved, becoming one of the areas with the best ecological environment in Shanghai.
Whether the ecological environment is good or not depends on where the wings of the bird fly and where the tail of the fish swims. With the continuous improvement of the ecological environment and the continuous increase in bird protection work, many rare birds in the past have settled in Chongming, or as a stop-and-go station, Dongtan Wetland has more than 130 kinds of birds transiting more than 2 million birds every year; among them, the number of waterbird species accounting for more than 1% of the global population has reached 14 species, and Dongtan Wetland has become a bird paradise. At the same time, Chongming has carried out in-depth ecological protection of the Yangtze River, and the demonstration construction of green development in the Yangtze River Economic Belt has achieved remarkable results.
Green is the brightest color in Chongming, in Chongming, not only the environment is pleasant, the concept of green production and life is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people - "two no" agricultural products continue to build a brand, automated, informational, intelligent modern agricultural production system to help fine pollution prevention and control; Chongming also launched the first domestic agricultural negative list, strict control of agricultural inputs, and fully implement agricultural green production. Domestic waste classification and reduction, agricultural and forestry waste resource utilization, new energy buses and taxis to achieve full coverage, new energy power generation accounted for 26%, rural domestic sewage treatment fully reached the first level A standard. At the same time, the river and lake chief system, the forest chief system, the road length system, the ring length system, etc. are implemented throughout Chongming, and the people of the whole region are cohesive to create a landscape of "flower village, flower stream, flower road, flower house, flower field, garden", build a "five-beauty community", Chongming's ecological environment quality, beautiful rural appearance value have been improved again, and the golden signboard of the national civilized urban area is shining.
In the future, Chongming's ecological soft power will be significantly enhanced, the ecological radiation effect will continue to enlarge, and it will become the symbol of Chongming to see the starry sky, see the green water, smell the flowers, and hear the birdsong.
Hua Bo: New opportunities for spring silkworm butterflies
It is in the continuous planting of ecological advantages and the continuous construction of ecological civilization that a major historical opportunity is the 10th China Flower Expo "Flower Fall" Chongming. In 2018, Chongming successfully applied for the Expo, known as the Olympics of the flower world, and met with a world-class ecological island, opening a new chapter in Chongming's "butterfly change".
Blossom the Chinese dream and celebrate the centenary of the founding of the party. From May to July 2021, after 326 days of full bidding, 1140 days of meticulous preparation, and 43 days of flower expo, the number of visitors to the park reached more than 2 million, and the number of online expo visitors reached more than 24 million... The first time held on the island, in the countryside and in the forest, the Flower Expo has created the history of the Flower Expo with the largest scale in the park, the largest number of exhibition gardens, the longest exhibition time and the widest international exhibition, and is also one of the most enthusiastic flower fairs for citizens and tourists to visit the exhibition, fully demonstrating the latest achievements in the construction of ecological islands and the latest achievements in China's flower industry, comprehensively enhancing Chongming's international popularity and reputation, and helping beautiful Shanghai and beautiful China to accelerate development.
Huabo has not only brought the "popularity" of the public, but also added the "kinetic energy" of leapfrog development. Riding on this east wind, Chongming promotes the comprehensive upgrading and development of infrastructure, beautiful villages, tourism services, flower industry, etc., and by 2025, it will build a prototype of an international flower industry highland.
Urban modern green agriculture, boutique homestays, tourism industry also ushered in new development opportunities - "Shanshui" logo regional public brand debut, "two no" agricultural product system established, agricultural green development index ranked first in the country for two consecutive years; the number of registered homestays developed to more than 500, accounting for more than 90% of the city; successfully created a national full-scale tourism demonstration zone, built a large number of A-class scenic spots, high-quality hotels... The momentum of green development is strong, the high-quality ecological industry system is continuously optimized, and the "good ecology" will continue to spawn, empower and activate the "good economy".
In the future, Chongming will also accelerate the transformation of ecological advantages into development advantages, make every effort to develop modern new agriculture, gather and develop new marine intelligent manufacturing, innovate and develop ecological new cultural tourism, accelerate the development of vitality and new health care, cultivate and develop green new technologies, continuously enlarge the "huabo effect", and bloom "beautiful economy".
Goal: Beautiful and happy new Chongming
Struggle is the norm of Chongming people, and wear resistance is the character of Chongming people. In 2009, the Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel Bridge was opened to traffic, and Chongming came ashore, and the millennium dream came true. In 2020, Chongming Wanda Plaza opened, and Chongming people opened a new life of fashion consumption. Chongming people are good at waiting for opportunities in the struggle and creating opportunities in the waiting. In this process, what has always remained unchanged is to adhere to the concept of people's cities.
The construction of a world-class ecological island is to rely on the people, benefit the people, and take root in the people. Look at Chongming's people's livelihood answer sheet in the past five years - the school district group school has achieved full coverage, a number of cooperative school-running projects such as Shanghai Experimental Dongtan School have been completed and put into use, and high-quality educational resources have been shared by Chongming people; the implementation of the healthy Chongming action, the first to build a close-knit regional medical federation, the new hospital of the Third People's Hospital of the district and the Changxing People's Hospital have been completed and operated, ending the history of no large-scale comprehensive hospital in Changxing Hengsha area, Chongming people can "see a good doctor" and "see a good disease" without going far away; the city's largest farmers are relatively concentrated in the construction of the project It can resettle more than 3,000 peasant households.
In the past five years, Chongming has innovated and implemented the ecological employment, ecological pension subsidies, and ecological insurance system for the benefit of the people, and the basic pension standards of urban and rural residents have been steadily improved; and the installation of elevators in multi-storey houses, the transformation of kitchens and bathrooms in old residential areas, the diversion of rain and sewage in residential areas, and the construction of ecological beautiful homes have been actively carried out. To improve the transportation energy level on the island and improve the travel conditions of the masses, Chongming completed the new construction and reconstruction of the eastern section of the Chenhai Highway, Chongming Avenue, the construction highway, the north coastal highway, and improved the "four horizontal and seven vertical" backbone road network system...
Struggle casts brilliance, hardship shows courage. In the past five years, Chongming has enhanced the core competitiveness of ecological development, forged and forged the Chongming spiritual character of "Chongde Mingli, dare to be the first, and continue to expand", and created a new realm for the construction of a world-class ecological island.
The tide should be stepped on, and the wind can raise the sails. At present, Chongming coincides with an important period of superposition of strategic opportunities, a period of release of ecological potential, and an accelerated period of beautiful butterfly transformation. In the next five years, we will accelerate the construction of a new Chongming with ecological beauty and happiness, livability, workability, and harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
From a grain of sand to an island, it is a miracle created by nature; from a desert beach to a beautiful home, it is a miracle created by Chongming people; and the construction of a new Chongming will be another new miracle created by Chongming people.
