After 30 years of sharpening a sword, 1,500 mu of "urban green lung" was formed
According to legend, in the Qing Dynasty, the area around Yangfang Village was prosperous with water and grass, and the herdsmen in the north mostly herdsed sheep here, because of the inconvenience of going back and forth, herders built houses here for sheep herding, and then due to the increase in population reproduction, a village was gradually formed, named "Yangfang Village". Yangfang Village is located in the southernmost part of Huaxiang in Fengtai District, bordering Daxing District to the east, south and west, and Gaolizhuang Village to the north. There are five ring roads, Jingliang Road, Fengyuan Road in the jurisdiction, and the transportation is convenient.
The Yangfang Sports and Leisure Park under construction is located in the construction scope of the first green separation belt and belongs to a million-mu plain afforestation plot. With the advancement of urbanization in recent years and the orderly relocation of enterprises on the site, Yangfang Village has spent nearly 30 years of construction and conservation to create a 1,500-mu "urban green lung" for the southern part of the capital. The trees and shrubs in the plot are scattered and mixed, and more than 10,000 plants such as acacia, white ash, peaches, and begonia are planted, and the ecological environment of the village is improving day by day.
"Yangfang Village makes full use of existing resources to plan differentiated, personalized and characteristic development." Fan Dongqing, the person in charge of Yangfang Village, introduced that the project is planned as green industrial land, and the village is based on the existing ecological construction achievements, adhering to ecology-oriented and people-oriented, retaining natural wildness, and adding ecological environmental protection facilities, introducing diversified life and consumption scenarios such as forest + education, forest + health, forest + sports, etc., to promote the upgrading of the village collective industry, which is also one of the measures of Huaxiang Street to adhere to the "project construction as a boost" to consolidate the results of rural revitalization.
It is expected to open at the end of next year, and "Coming to Flower Country on the Weekend" will take an important step
"There are multiple residential areas on the north and east sides of the project site, with more than 700,000 people within a 5-kilometer service radius, and there are no sports parks around, and residents have a large daily demand for urban parks. Zeng Longfa, head of operations, said.
Yangfang Sports and Leisure Park is located in the southernmost part of Fengtai District, surrounded by a number of residential areas. Zeng Longfa introduced that in order to meet the needs of residents for healthy life, the park will make full use of "sports +" articles, take the garden landscape as the basis of the ecological environment, take sports as the core, and take commerce as the supporting facilities, create a one-stop service ecosystem of sports, leisure life, trendy entertainment, and commercial support, shape a healthy lifestyle destination, and meet the needs of Beijing citizens for a variety of ball games, extended sports, national fitness and parent-child activities.
The relevant person in charge of Huaxiang Street introduced that with the start of the project construction, in the next step, the park's landscaping improvement and investment promotion will also be accelerated, and it is planned to open for trial operation in December 2024. After the opening of the park, it will not only build a new platform for the development of the sports industry, but also add a new sports and leisure place for surrounding residents. This means that Huaxiang Street has taken an important step to build a micro-tourism, micro-leisure and micro-vacation brand of "coming to Huaxiang on weekends". The implementation of the project will promote the implementation of the "multiplication and catch-up" plan in Fengtai District, release the vitality of innovation and development, and accelerate the pace of high-quality development of Huaxiang Street.
